Adjusting Salt, Finding Perfect Fatty Meat, Zero Carb Cat Food?

For some reason, I think I needed to make a change in my salt intake. I think maybe the change in the weather, or something. Now that it is colder, I have stopped using salt altogether. I was starting to have diarrhea and I think it was from using too much salt. Also, I read that 90% of all sea salt now has microplastics in it. Not good! So I have cut out salt entirely now, and have actually been feeling great, digestion is good, and sleeping really well too!

Salt is a tricky thing. I know we need a certain intake of both sodium and chloride for necessary body functioning, especially chloride for making stomach acid. But I know that meats contain a certain amount of those compounds naturally. So I wonder if we even need any added salt at all? So far this week, I have been doing perfectly fine without it.

And I know that different salts have vastly different amounts of minerals. Some salts have definitely caused me problems because they are higher in certain minerals and lower in others. So I wonder if it is best to just skip the salt and stick with good, fatty meat!

Speaking of good fatty meat, I am enjoying my whole sheep share. It is very, very fatty, and I specifically asked for full roasts with the fat left on, instead of ground meat, steaks, and chops. That seems to work much better. But I am actually ending up having to throw out quite a bit of fat, because this one was partially grain fed, so it is even fattier than grassfed would have been. Next month, I will be getting two whole lamb shares, and they are 100% grassfed. So they will be the perfect amount of fat, hopefully!

In other news, I have decided to try to find zero carb food for my pudgy cat! I had read good review of "Young Again Zero Mature" and ordered it. He has been eating it, but unfortunately I did not read the ingredients carefully and see there is added "fiber" foods as well as "probiotics" and I do not think any of that is good for a cat (certainly not good for me, so I'm sure not good for him!). So today I plan to look for Tiki brand wet food, which looks like just meat plus vitamins. And hopefully he'll eat it! I tried to buy him very expensive raw food that was just rabbit meat, but he wouldn't eat it. However, I found out later it had inulin in it (a "probiotic") so that's probably for the best he didn't eat it! We'll see how it goes with the Tiki food!
