This may explain why some diets to reduce weight strictly prohibit any salt intake. When I read about that, their explanation was always vague and essentially was hand waving about an experimentally discovered fact.

This study hints the real effect - to combat excessive salt the body needs more energy that makes people hungry and eat much more than necessary to offset the salt consumption.

Oddly, that would imply a high salt, low calorie diet would lose you the most weight... if self control wasn't your limiting factor.
