I tried, and because I do cook from scratch, I can really control the salt factor. However, that low number for salt was too low for both of us. After a few days I was weak and dizzy. I remembered I had been hospitalized for low sodium years ago and had a doctor tell me, eat salt, your body needs it. So, I went back to the way I had been cooking and we both felt better. We don't eat at restaurants and don't eat processed foods, so our salt intake isn't too bad.dkzodyhttp://dkzody.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673736213160843245.post-16530936138089766962019-11-16T10:11:11.311-06:002019-11-16T10:11:11.311-06:00yeah, the no salt thing is a bear.

I tried the Mrs Dash and didn't like it. eventually your taste buds recover from the overload of salt and you start to taste other more subtle flavors. we don't cook with salt, don't eat packaged food (or rarely), and after my 3 weeks in Portugal last year where they don't put salt and pepper on the table, I now rarely add salt to my food. except for Sunday eggs. I salt fried eggs. <br /><br />when my dad quit smoking he used sweet sour candies and was addicted to those for a while. he always had a bowl of them by his chair.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673736213160843245.post-66603018441732182222019-11-16T09:50:44.479-06:002019-11-16T09:50:44.479-06:00The easiest way to cater to a low-salt diet is to ...The easiest way to cater to a low-salt diet is to cook from scratch. I've got it down to a science...most recipes make four servings, so every other day I just have to nuke leftovers in the microwave.<br /><br />I kicked the salt habit a couple of years ago (although I do add Frank's hot sauce to many things, which is something I should discontinue).

My husband is allergic to all wheat products so when he (we) had to cut wheat out of our diet it was hard to figure out what we COULD eat instead of what we couldn't. I miss the days of ordering pizza or swinging by McDonalds for some dollar burgers after a long day out. No rest from the kitchen for a wife who has a hubby with food restrictions.lukskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836456707666850172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673736213160843245.post-23282627193269871602019-11-15T23:56:30.123-06:002019-11-15T23:56:30.123-06:00Similar problems here in Australia.

My ...I am glad to know that he will drink Ensure! My Old Man ( affectionate nickname!) also has weight problems. He isn't tall, but he looked good at 135-140 lbs. For several years now, he can't even keep to 120 lbs. Twice he has decided that he will go the Ensure route. Twice I "saved money" by buying a case of it at Sam's. And, twice, I have thrown out way more than half because he would not drink them, and they aged out. I agree that the smell is not inviting, and he always said that he felt bloated and uncomfortable after drinking one. Daily ice cream has helped maintain his skinny self. One of my friends is coping with the low salt diet for her husband. Their eating out routine has been drastically curtailed. Thanks for keeping us up to date. I think of you every day and wonder how it's going for you. And hope for good.

Check Penzy Spices site. They have some some great no-salt blends. I got set onto them by friends on resticted diets. I'm not, and I use a lot of their blends, they're just that good.

The good news is, once the taste buds adjust to eating like a pioneer, going back to "the old days" will produce a blinding headache, or be too rich to swallow.
