No added salt for 2 weeks!

Just taking a moment to let you all know that I am keeping up with my promise for Lent to not add salt to anything and two weeks in and still going strong.  It's hard--some foods really need it but I doing it!  My blood pressure seems to have leveled out so at least I am not as dizzy anymore so that is good!.  We'll see what the dr says after I get my blood work done.

Thanks everyone!

I am hoping you can do it! I know it is hard but I have gone about 3 months without adding any salt to my food so I know you can do it!

My wife uses infused olive oil for added flavor
Desiree T. Mar 11, 2009, 12:37pm UTC
I never add salt.
Dorine H. Mar 11, 2009, 12:41pm UTC
Well done! And yes, it is *very* hard. Very, very hard. But if it keeps you off a pill and you feel better, then it's the better choice.
Nancy Paoletti Mar 11, 2009, 12:43pm UTC
Yay you!! Try different spice blends that what I do cause I can't have the extra salt. I've gone this long without pop or sweets.
Janet "Jax" B. Mar 11, 2009, 12:59pm UTC
Good for you!

My Dad actually salts his food BEFORE he tastes it! I come from a long line of salt-lovers, so I'm impressed by your willpower.
Cara D. Mar 11, 2009, 1:00pm UTC
I just about never add salt to my foods. I guess I have done without it for so long, I don't miss it anymore!
Carla B. Mar 11, 2009, 1:06pm UTC
That's great!

We rarely add any extra salt to our foods, but we've been trying to cut back on our sodium consumption period. That really put an end to the convenience foods unless I absolutely can not cook.
Stacey Mamasaid Mar 11, 2009, 1:14pm UTC
Way to go, you're doing great!

Good job and keep it going. You begin to enjoy the true taste of food again. There's only a few things that I use salt on. I never cook with it either, even when it's called for in a recipe. I leave it out.

good job, keep it up!

Giving up the salt habit is tough. I did it years ago when pregnant with my first child. I make it a rule that if I add any salt during the cooking process I can not touch the shaker at the table.
No salt is better for you anyway right?
Where if it starts with "G," it's all good!

Try adding spices instead of salt - I love adding a little garlic or pepper to give the blander foods a little kick.
