Excess salt causes your body to retain water, which can cause a rapid weight gain, but it's not real fat, and once the body has the proper salt ratio will return to a more accurate weight.

Thanks for the info Nancy. i didn't know celery had a lot of sodium. I usually keep away from it, I think they're nasty.
