I have cut out almost all processed foods from my diet, I like canned sardines and anchovies too much to take them out, and my sodium intake has decreased dramatically.

lol, a can of sardines or anchovies is probably more than the daily recommended intake for sodium :laugh:

sodium isn't the enemy. especially for those of us who workout hard and sweat it all out. cut to much out and you'll be a cramping mess.

Actually the sodium intake is only 572mg per can.

I have had a problem throughout my life from cramping so now I take a couple 595mg potassium gluconate supplements every day and about 1000mg of taurine and make sure if I sweat a lot to add a little salt to my water.

When I was a senior in high school my girlfriend broke up with me and I like to work out when I get upset. It was in the middle of the summer and around 100 degrees out. I went on a fast paced 6-7 mile run and then played some basketball with my friends for about an hour or so. I got home, stepped out of my car and both my hamstrings and both my quads cramped up. I was laying on the carport immobilized until my uncle looked outside, saw my car was home but I was not and went out to investigate where I was.

I guess I should do some research on how much sodium I should be taking in if I am sweating a lot and monitoring it better.
