Sodium and water retention?

[NotSmall]

I eat between 800g - 1kg of cooked chicken breast ed, grilled on my big george and heavily seasoned with Schwarz Cajun and Jamaican Jerk seasonings which are both loaded with salt so I've come to the conclusion that I'm gonna have to blend up my own mix of seasonings without the salt as I think my current diet is causing me to hold alot of water.

I've just cooked up a batch seasoned with copious amounts of garlic powder, mild chilli powder, paprika, ground coriander, ground cumin and a little demerara sugar - it tastes OK but is still a little bland, gonna add alot of black pepper to the next batch - any other suggestions?

How quickly should I see the subQ water subside once I cut the salt out?

Everyone is different with water retention, some just hold it for fun when other stay dried out all the time. increase the water and monitor it.

I am sure it would be the hugh amount of test your on instead of some salt though lol whats causing the water bloat.

LMAO!

Cheeky fucker - I'm only on 100mg prop ed!

I'm probably eating about a jar of seasoning a day with all the chicken I eat - I smother it in that shit, and the primary ingredient in it is salt so whether its causing me to retain alot of water or not it can't be doing my health much good in general.

Yeah, just tried my first batch and even with copious amounts of garlic powder, mild chilli powder, paprika, ground coriander, ground cumin and a little demerara sugar it still seems bland without the salt!

Hopefully someone here will have some good seasoning ideas - either way, after a few weeks I'll get used to it.
