One particular point i'm interested in, is the amount of time (for buying all the food) and money you'll have to afford. And if it is manageable to eat without salt for 30 days. I thought the body needs some salt. I'm not talking about the oversalted supermarked stuff, but without any salt?!? .. I'm curious.
The human body has no need for added salt in the diet. You can get all the sodium your body needs from veggies. Celery is a great source of it. The idea potassium-sodium ratio is supposedly 40:1, and most people are way too high on the sodium side. My diet has often been too high in sodium, so no salt will be a big change for me.

Animals don't salt their food, and human beings don't need to either if they just eat enough calories.
