HOT SAUCE

I do not remember from where I heard but someone had told me that hot sauce was bad for me. The sodium was to high and I would retain more water weight. I used to eat hot sauce like nothing. As soon as I was told that I stopped. Its been so long and I have had it here and there. But I miss it so much. How true is this statement I was told?

Who uses *that* much hot sauce to worry about a lot of sodium from it?
I'd hate to think of the, um, er, um, afterburn.
OP, use hot sauce.

Hot sauce was life for me lol!Canned and jarred salsas pack a sodium punch. But I think you are pretty safe with Tabasco and Sriracha types of hot sauce.
Im going to have to give those a shot, I was addicted to Valentina and Louisiana sauce. lolcandythorns wrote: »My doctor told me not to eat it but i experience terrible stomach pain from time to time. I also continue to eat hot sauce....
Have you tried seeing if eating hot sauce made a difference on the scale?0 -
If I had to give up hot sauce I'd probably just give up on eating all together8

I cannot imagine that hot sauce would make a big difference on the scale.
Log your food and look at the sodium intake for a few days. Are you always going over? Does this translate to more water retainage? Are you drinking water to help flush out water retainage? Can you adjust some other foods that are high sodium so you can have hot sauce?

I have a tablespoon of it over cottage cheese for breakfast! That's just for starters ;-)3 -
Life would not be worth living without Sriacha. It's a spicy slice of heaven.6

*whispers* I do... sometimes... out of a teaspoon.2 -
I use hot sauce and/or jarred salsa daily. I do tend to look for salsas that are lower in sodium than others. Any temporary water weight gain (which I haven't noticed) would be worth it anyway!0

He drinks it straight from the jar or out of a small wine glass. A teaspoon seems more reasonable.1 -

I bow to the master!!1 -
I put Sriracha on a lot of my foods. It's about 5 calories per teaspoon & I rarely use more than that at a sitting. I don't worry about sodium so I don't know about that. I've lost fifty something pounds so far & still going. Unless there's a good medical reason not to, I say enjoy your sauce.0
