Well as you know I had some heart trouble month or so ago. My doc said no more salt. Well that was not a problem as I never use the stuff. If it is on the food then i eat it. But now I ask for no salt. Trouble is alot of the processsed foods and precanned stuff has salt included. Take my word for it with all that is already in the food now days and all that is there naturally you dont need to add it or a substitute. Trust me you wont even miss it. Moderation is the key word. Good luck

I've done the "add no salt" thing for many years now. Actually....I haven't missed not adding salt on the things I cook......with one exception...... chicken. I usually buy the bag of leg quarters and do a large batch frying or oven baking session then just freeze them up into serving portions. The taste just isn't the same without some type of salty taste.
But it's definitely not worth the risk of using salt or the "questionable" artificial stuff. Having never used the replacements available...I was curious.

BTW...I hope all is going well on your end with the diet changes. It's great you're open to change. All things in moderation....I couldn't have said it any better myself.

There definitely does come a time when certain things need to be dropped down a level and put in proper perspective. In particular..... your avatar. :rolleyes:

Shouldn't that thing have been lowered to half staff by now. :D

There are many products out there now that are low no salt from canned beans, peas, soups, ketchups and many more products.

After my father had some heart problems about ten years ago the Docs told him to reduce his sodium intake so he was put on a 2000 mg sodium a day diet. I learnd how to eat with the lower salt content and I dont really miss it.

So reduce your salt intake and keeep your heart healthy.
