No, sweet drinks and desserts are not the only culprit that’s causing us to gain weight*. Experts say that cutting down on salty, processed foods can help us to lose a good 1 to 1.5kg* in just a week?

This is because when we take in excess salt, our bodies hold on to as much as 1.5 litres of extra water to dilute its presence*. Switching to a low salt diet can help us to lose these extra fluids and hence up to 1.5kg of bod weight very rapidly*.
