I’ve been super busy (aren’t we all), trying to juggle a career, home, and day to day life and have REALLY been slow to launch Kerri’s Kitchen.

And I’ve asked myself, when in the world will I have the time to add to my blog?

So I’ve decided to take you along on a ride.

I’m in the middle of investigating just exactly WHAT is wrong with my husband.

He’s been tired, bloated, unable to lose weight regardless of how much calorie restriction or exercise he does. We’ve tried B12 shots, sublingual B12, increased protein, decreased protein, limiting carbs, upping carbs, the blood type diet, adjusting the acid/alkaline balance and just about everything else you can imagine. We’ve been through Splenda, Sweet n Low, Stevia, honey, agave, and then back to just plain old sugar (which actually made him feel a lot better–more about that in a minute, because now I think I know why).

Then, last night, I had an epiphany!

I realized there seemed to be a correlation between my husband’s energy levels and his obsessive love of Sonic’s Supersonic Breakfast Burrito. He has had 2 of these, almost every morning, for the last 2 or 3 months.

Then it hit me: Sodium. I bet they’re full of sodium. That would explain the water retention (bloating) and maybe even the tired feeling. And his (what I considered irrational) craving for salt.

Well, I checked it out here and HELLO! He’s been taking in a whopping 3600 mg+ of sodium with every breakfast meal for MONTHS.

So, now I’m working on educating myself & I’ll share what I learn here; more to come soon!
