You're welcomed! You don't need to be on a salt-free diet to watch your sodium intake!!!

I'm kinda stuck in the middle here... My blood pressure's a little on the high side, so I need to cut down on my sodium while pregnant. But the dr says I can't completely eliminate it because the baby still needs some sodium. So I'm stuck...

I think that if you really want low salt foods then you need to make the food yourself and toss the salt shaker out the window. Salt is so widely used as the 'no-preservatives-added' preservative that you'll never really get mass produced food without salt. Just my thoughts ...

But you don't need the 3000+ mg of sodium we eat in our diet these days. I'm not a nutritionist or anything, but if you eat ketchup, canned vegetables, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, etc, then you're getting more then enough sodium in your diet for healthy living. Probably the main key word from your doctor is 'some'.

Yeah I agree. I would make everything from scratch, and skimp on the salt. Making everything yourself in the only way you know whats in your food.
