Good stuff!
Fasting in its various forms seems to be coming more popular and one of the first posts I read on Steem was about a guy who crams all his food into a 6 hour window each day, 18 hours on water. I think going this route will mean less no salt headaches and could be made into a routine.
Good luck on removing the pies :)
intermittant fasting its called... I tried it as well and it helps but its hard not to munch in front of the TV sometimes
