Does himalayan salt help with weight loss?

Someone at my gym told me that Himalayan salt can help with weight loss. I'm trying to shed a few kilos, so I was wondering if there's any truth to this. Does Himalayan salt actually help with weight loss?

Himalayan pink salt contains pure minerals from nature, which bring harmony to our system. While it won't magically melt fat, it supports overall mineral balance beautifully.

I have seen many people try pink salt thinking it is a weight loss miracle. Practically speaking, it has slightly less sodium, but real weight loss only happens when you eat in a calorie deficit.

I read online that pink salt has extra minerals, but then I worried if it lacks enough iodine which could affect my thyroid. Better to use a mix of both salts just to be safe, right?

I was researching this yesterday and honestly, scientists say the mineral difference is too tiny to affect weight. It just looks prettier in the kitchen jar!

Listen, swapping white salt for pink salt is a nice trend, but don't stress too much about it! It's still salt at the end of the day, so just use it in moderation.

Be careful with salt diets if you have blood pressure issues. I switched completely to pink salt and ignored my doctor's advice, which led to a bad sodium imbalance. Consult a professional first.
