Salt, sugar, and coffee was difficult to give up at first. When I quit cold turkey I had the worst headache in my life for a week. After four years, I realized I missed coffee,I now drink some, but I have cut down considerably from my coffee drinking days of before. Some days I have three cups...oh well! It usually is in half cup increments. The only salt I 'wave' around with a few sprinkles is on avacado (which I rarely have) and cucumber (sometimes). I don't put sugar in my coffee, actually I'm not sure where the sugar container is anymore!
Good luck to you, keep posting, and I, for one, will be ever on the Support list for you!
