Help my by posting your low or zero sodium foods/recipes

I too would love some suggestions. I am keeping under my calories for the most part, but I seem to have the best success if I can keep way below my sodium intake! I still eat a lot of processed food for breakfast and lunch such as lean cuisine, would love some fast easy suggestions for variety.

Just make sure you're checking labels on everything! The sodium amount should be equal or less than the calories.. It's hard sometimes, but possible! I'm still working on it! And I stay away from fast food because there is always a ton of sodium in that.
I stopped adding salt to anything.. I only use pepper, lemon pepper, or garlic salt.. My nutritionist friend said that you can train your taste buds to get used to it, and it's true! I tried adding some salt to my rice the other day and YUCK! Too much! lol
And on the days that you go over in sodium, try to drink more water ;-)

You're going to have to give up processed food and start cooking from scratch. Switch to sea salt...it's saltier and you need less for flavor. Sodium is added to processed(canned, deli, pre made food) to make it taste better. It isn't good for us. ARGH!!! I'm mad at the market for selling us this as a convenience. It's not convenient to get sick and wait around at the doctors, hospitals and waste our money on health care and meds.

Marinara sauce is so easy to make!!! I use raw tomatoes, puree them...even if a recipe calls for canned.

extra virgin olive oil
chopped onion
chopped garlic
saute...add your raw tomatoes and simmer...add rosemary, oregano, basil, sea salt, pepper, red pepper and you've got spaghetti or pizza sauce!!! simmer for 25 min.

Many soups have the same base. IF you'd learn to cook the above, you'll be making all sorts of tasty low sodium meals!!!!

Want chicken??? dice your chicken and add it to the onion/garlic mixture and saute until light brown(caramelized) then add your tomatoes and seasonings. Or skip the tomatoes and add other veggies/zucchini, red pepper...steam broccoli...yum!!

Made some pita bread and top w/the marinara sauce and an oz of fresh mozzarella cheese! bake at 450 bottom rack for 15 min on a cookie sheet greased w/extra virgin olive oil. Yummy pizza!! That's what we have for dinner and it's all good for you!

Pita bread or whole wheat flour tortilla wraps. Marinade your chicken in a balsamic dressing: 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper...marinade 1 hour and grill....slice thin and put into your pitas or wraps...fill with cucumbers, tomatoes, green leafy lettuce, avocado, and top with plain unsweetened yogurt...it's to die for!!!

Soups! Look up lentil soups...add sliced carrots and celery to the "base" mixture above, add some fresh pureed tomatoes, add 1 cup lentils and 8 cups of water. Season to your liking...yummy w/basil and add 2 TBL balsamic vinegar after an hour of cooking.

Just start looking up recipes and substitute raw pureed tomatoes or boil your own beans in place of canned! Then you'll get a low sodium diet

When you buy vegtables get fresh or frozen... frozen hardly has any soduim if any.... anything in a can is usually loaded with sodium... I have foung very low soduim toamatos in a can though like 20mg... I like to cook things like chicken with okra and tomatos, and pork loin(fat trimmed off) with fields peas and snap beans toss them in a crock pot with whatever seasonings you like (watch the salt content in the seasonings) and you can stay under 2000mg. Youhave to cook to stay under though in most cases.

half turkey breast roasted with a teasp of oilive oil, pepper and garlic (not garlic salt). Great for dinner and for sandwiches and salads during the week. I steam veggies with garlic (chopped clove) too!

We just got a toaster oven and are trying to figure it out...timing...the microwave probably will not be replace when it dies Love influencing my family!

I keep my sodium under 1200mg, you are welcome to look at my diary,

it took me a while to pare down the ingredients of my personal plan, finding very low sodium versions of things, but here are my favorites:

almond milk for my coffee, cow dairy has so much sodium and could not find low sodium milk anywhere,

very low sodium tuna, Starkist, but expensive, then the other day I found very low/ no sodium tuna at Trader Joes at half the price of Starkist,

low sodium rice cakes,

low or no sodium cottage cheese by Knutsen, in turquoise container, I live in California,

Fiber One cereal and Laughing Cow cheese are the exceptions that are just as they are, but since the rest of my foods are fresh fruit and veg I do very well,

like I said most days I am at about 1000mg and I am feeling wonderful,

I have lost some weight but I think it is the sodium that is helping the most,

remember that the salty sugary fat triangle is how we got here and remembering to avoid these will cure us

best of luck on your journey
