So the bf doesn't do salt, says sodium is bad for you. I don't really care either way, but I'm cutting it out too to be a good girlfriend.

What the hell can you eat instead??? Lemon/lime, worcestershire... red pepper? What can possibly approach the tastebud-orgasm of salt?

11/18/2009 11:42:09 AM

what a 'mo

11/18/2009 11:43:12 AM

bacon

11/18/2009 11:43:18 AM

sodium in excess is bad for you, sodium in general is necessary for you to keep up a proper mix of salts and minerals

hope yall dont chug too much water or you'll die

11/18/2009 11:44:16 AM

I have high blood pressure so i drastically limit my salt intake

i recommend garlic or Mrs. Dash

11/18/2009 11:44:17 AM

No bacon either, that shit is fatty yo.

i have never understood why people salt so many things. i prefer the taste of my food to the taste of salt with only a hint of the taste of whatever it is I am eating.

that being said, you can eat all the same stuff. just don't salt it. you'll find that there is a lot of natural flavor in foods. it may take you a week or two to get used to it, but you'll be just fine.

Mrs. Dash is good. You don't need to cut salt from your own diet unless you have high blood pressure. If it's low, then you should probably make sure to consume some salt.

Speed up heart not make live longer; that like say you can extend life of car by driving faster. Want live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. What are these? Vegetables. So, steak nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give 100% recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine. That means they take water out of fruity bit; get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made out of grain. Bottoms up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: If you have body and you have fat, ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Cannot think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only do sit-ups if want bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: You crazy? HELLO .... Cocoa beans! Vegetable!!! Cocoa beans best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming good for figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is shape! "

Ok people, the Nutrition Facts says Worcestershire has only 3% sodium.

"soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce are both too high in sodium and not allowed on a low salt diet. Soy sauce has between 825 and 1029 milligrams per tablespoon. Worcestershire sauce has 234 per tablespoon. The indiscriminate sprinkling of these sauces is difficult to estimate."

thats 4 servings easy

11/18/2009 11:53:56 AM

Salt is actually good for you if you are an athlete and you sweat alot.
I'd recommend gramps to add some excercise and leave the salt intake the same as long as you guys arent eating processed foods that are crammed with sodium.
Sea salt is best btw

11/18/2009 11:54:29 AM

^^Not necessarily...

So besides Mrs. Dash, any other suggestions?

^We do use sea salt when we use it at all, and just a little. Exercising everyday... just really bland food. We both are looking for alternatives.

i made a pretty bangin' worcestershire/chive infused butter this weekend

sauteed shallots/garlic, unsalted butter sticks, fresh chives, worcestershire, throw that shit in the food processor, roll it up, cool it,

was good on some cracked pinkpeppercorn crusted filets... and taters

I'm sure he eats plenty of these already

Damn, that sounds delicious. But we're not eating red meat either! Maybe on some baked chicken...

No salt, no red meat, and more importantly NO BACON? Damn.

I've been eating a lot of meatless meals lately because the girlfriend is going through a phase where meat just doesn't appeal to her, but I could not completely give it up. Especially bacon.

While I don't salt the hell out of things (I almost never add salt at the table), using it judiciously during the cooking process helps bring out the flavor, not cover it up.
