    I been trying to watch my sodium as well. I have had high blood pressure while I was pregnant with both kids and my family has a history of it. I been trying to just buy foods that are reduced soduim and try to to use as litte or no salt. It is hard cause some foods lack flavor without it. I have been using white vinager in replace of it when making mash potatos or boiling noodles. It still gives it the flavor that salt does without needing to add it.

    Unless you are CRAZY over the guidelines............relax. Only people with sodium dependent hypertension should be hyper vigilant. Just go sweat a little.:smile:

    ...not by a lot, but it's definitely my problem area (I hit/go under all other levels [cals, carbs, fat]), and I'm not so sure it's going to stop being so. At least any time soon. I mean, I just bought a fridge/freezer/pantry full of food that (financially) I cannot afford to waste. Mind you, they are all "healthy" foods (i.e. whole wheat bread), but I still go over my sodium level!

    Anyone else have this problem? Does it significantly affect your weight loss?

    Try to add more veggies to your diet in the form of juices is you can't tolerate veggies... i only eat 230 sodium by drinking
    "mean green" juices all day...
