Low sodium diet plan

My ENT has instructed me to eat only 1500mg or less of sodium per day. Anyone familiar with a written plan that follows this? I could track my sodium, but I do better with a plan to follow. Thanks! Kristan

maybe you could check with a cardiologist. my mom is on a low-sodium diet for heart disease, and her cardiologist gave her a plan.

I'm on the same restriction because I had kidney cancer and so only have one kidney now. I haven't come across any plans, but it's really hard to stay at or under 1500mg.

Eat clean! Whole 30 might work for you.0

There's the DASH plan. It has cookbooks and meal plans, so I think that's what you want.

I keep track of my sodium on MFP, so even having a plan you might want to track too. You might find this like useful. It has a listing of low sodium foods if you need to switch things out in recipes.

It's pretty simple - avoid fast food, avoid anything that comes in a box or can.0 -

go to the american heart association website. My husband and I are actually on a 1000 a day plan because of his heart.0

I am eating a low sodium diet.
For the first month, or so, it took a lot of reading of labels to get with the program. Now I am under on sodium all of the time.
It just takes research and practice. Eventually, it is second nature.0
