Try eating less and exercising more, and a low carb diet will deplete your body of electrolytes so that you'll need them. ( which is normal)

Are you quite sure it's just salt intake per se that causes that problem for you? I used to ASSume that excess salt consumption was my problem when my ankles and feet swelled, then later found out (after some minor heart palpitations, and subsequent blood work) that the problem was really due to an imbalance in other electrolytes -- primarily potassium and magnesium.

What I know about myself is that if I eat too much salt (as in salted fish etc), I feel quite bad.
My previous food choices included the 2/3 lb Double thickburger and a med fry and a Med. Reg Dr. Pepper at hardees.. enough salt to start an ocean alone.. Now I can not even get away with adding a bit to my eggs.

I need more electrolytes in general, as do most people.
Perhaps it has something to do with your previous food choices.

I need a lot less salt than before low carb or before dieting.
Yes I am sure.. dont eat salt for a week and I drop down to normal. Add salt back to the mix and I swell up 5 lbs. Driving DH crazy because I used to salt everything heavily and now I make him add his own salt.

Just keep a watch on it, mmkay? Salt consumption making you swell up to the point of edema in the feet and such isn't necessarily 'normal' and could indicate other problems.
