Does anyone know of a low salt diet plan?

Answer 1

The DASH diet is the most widely recommended by doctors for reduced sodium intake. There are books available but you can get free information from your doctor, or go to the library. It basically follows the food pyramid and tells you to cut out processed foods like canned veggies and soups and frozen and prepackaged meals.

You might want to get a book for recipes but don't bother with websites that charge you for information on this diet. You can get all the information you need free from your doctor.

Hints For Preparing Meals Using Less Salt

* Season foods with herbs, spices, flavored powders (not salts) or lemon juice instead of salt.
* Plain frozen vegetables (without sauces) are often not salted and can be used in place of canned vegetables. (Frozen peas and lima beans are graded in brine, however, and will contain more sodium than fresh.)
* Regular canned vegetables can be drained and heated in tap water to reduce salt content.
* Bake your own cakes, cookies and quick breads using sodium-free baking powder. It is available in the Grocery Diet Section.
* Salt Sense contains 1/3 less sodium per measure than other brands of salt.
* Salt substitutes are available, but they are often potassium salts and are not suitable for some people. Check with a doctor or dietitian before using salt substitute.
* Better yet, learn to enjoy true flavors of unsalted foods.
* If you use an artificial sweetener, Equal contains no sodium.

Sodium Watch The following is a list of foods that tend to be high in sodium. Check labels to be sure; some may be sodium-reduced.

* Anchovies
* Bacon
* Baking Soda
* Bouillon Cubes (Chicken, Beef or Vegetable)
* Canned Soups
* Canned Tuna
* Canned Vegetables (unless they're "no salt")
* Cheese
* Cold Cuts (unless low salt)
* Condiments
* Cooking Sauces
* Cottage Cheese
* Croutons



* Gravy
* Ham
* Hot Dogs
* Olives
* Pickles
* Salad Dressings
* Salsa
* Sausage
* Sea Salt (same amount of sodium as table salt)
* Soy Sauce
* Spaghetti Sauce
* Tomato or Vegetable Juice
when you are at the store think fresh ...as much as possible (salt is added to most everything that has to keep) just read the labels and you can do it.

Answer 3

Some people check nutrition labels so they can limit their sodium to 1 mg for each calorie in the food. So 120 mg of sodium would be just fine for a 120 calorie serving. It's somewhat bland, but not unreasonable.

Answer 4

YES! I was borderline hypertension and my doctor gave me a choice. I could start medication and be on it for the rest of my life or I could eat right and exercise and lower my blood pressure naturally. This diet helped!! I lost weight too, but that wasn't a consideration. Go to dashdiet.org and check it out! Good Luck.
