Indeed so Mouseclick.

Sodium loss is why we lose so much "extra" weight in a fast and the return of this sodium is why we gain so much of that weight back within a couple weeks.

As well, excess sodium causes us to retain excess water. A person with excess sodium in their system who fasts that away and in turn loses their excess water weight (in extreme cases there could be a ton of this) can keep the excess off by maintaining normal, healthy sodium levels. This in turn will lower blood pressure, but that's another story for another day.

But most of us in a fast will dip below our normal sodium levels, drop a good amount of water weight from this and get the water back when our sodium returns to normal.
