How do i make taking table salt more palatable?

So I’ve been taking my table salt as literally just a teaspoon full and like almost licking it down for lack of better description (cuz i cant just put the whole spoon in my mouth at once) but its so tedious and doing it everyday makes it tastes progressively worse so is there any other method?

Answer

The shape and size of the crystal of salt will determine the taste. What I like to keep around is “finishing salt”, these are large flat or pyramid shaped crystals of salt that are used to “finish” dishes like steak, bread, etc…

On day’s I’m fasting I’ll usually start the day with a pinch of finishing salt. I think the brand I like is “Falksalt”. You can also get it smoked.

Something like 36 hours into my latest fast. Started at 204 or thereabouts, weighed in at 201.4 this morning. Obviously mostly water, but I’m closing in on sub 200 after starting at 209 a few weeks ago <3

Answer

I take half of my sodium in the morning and stir it into hot water. It’s actually kind of tasty this way. Like a kind of broth. It has to be hot though, or the taste gets weird, less “soupy” and more gross “warm salt water” for me. I sip it parallel to my black coffee so that the taste doesn’t linger in my mouth too long. I repeat this during my lunch break at work. Works fine for me.
