My healthier go to sauces are ; Mix a little LOW sodium soy sauce with honey & drizzle over my stir fry veggies. Half a cup heated of fire roasted tomatoes, topped with a little asiago , a little packs a lot of taste, the half cup tomato only has 30 calories but I make up for it by serving it over brown rice pasta.

I have a potassium deficiency that requires a prescription. It's really rare and the doctor feels that it is caused genetically in my case. Although it is very unlikely you will get a potassium deficiency, it can't hurt to increase your dietary intake. Avocado, orange juice, raisins, nuts and banana are all great tasting…

Don't feel bad, I fell off track before summer, just getting back to it because I refuse to by bigger pants for the THIRD time this year (this is the hardest time of the year don't forget) and amazed by how good it feels to eat healthy again.
