Is it ok to eat really high sodium foods on LC?
I think I could stick out LC, if I can buy a lot of the prepared meats,
but they have pretty high sodium levels. I don't have high blood pressure or anything, but I'm wondering if all the sodium is good. Thanks for any advice. |

Is it ok to eat really high sodium foods on LC?
Welcome. Too much sodium in anyones diet is not good. Most prefer to
eat unprocessed meats because the processed lunch meats, hotdogs, sausages, and bacon are chock full of which preservatives, sodium, hidden sugars and nitrates cause some people some trouble like stalling, water retention, and elevated blood sugars. One of the first things your body does when low carbing is it rids itself of the stored water when you stop eating the carbs. Eating large amounts of sodium will counteract your body releasing its "bloat". Most people in here stick to unprocessed meats. Steaks, hamburger, chicken, fresh fish, pork etc. Some eat preservative and sugar free sausages, bacon etc but it can be hard to find. Try "pure" meats, salads, cheeses including cottage cheese, eggs, and veggies to start but steer clear of peas corn and carrots ( note too that cheese can cause some people problems) Best Wishes Laureen 410/180/180 Had WLS Jan 31st 2005, Lives Low Carb, Low Fat, Low Cal http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/freaki...hJ9gCBLmL1VUob wrote: I think I could stick out LC, if I can buy a lot of the prepared meats, but they have pretty high sodium levels.

Just remember if you're counting cals, a one inch cube of cheese has 100 calories. Thats dang small. It adds up fast just like with nuts. A little is a lot!

Is it ok to eat really high sodium foods on LC?
My dentist and his wife are terrific friends of mine. They are estatic
to see us finally dropping our weight. One suggestion from them was this: Shop the outer aisles of the store and the dairy section. In a lot of stores the dairy section is on the outer aisle too, not mine.

With no improvement in general health other than losing weight? If this is the case, then eat any crap you want that happens to be low carb. If you want to maximise, and I mean really maximize, your health, eat only real natural whole-food foods with the least amount of refining, processing and added chemicals, including salt. By real foods, I mean real fresh meats from animals raised with clean water, a clean environment and clean real food and the minimum of medications and pelletized manufactured animal feeds. Real fruits and veggies from plants raised with clean water in a clean environment with the minimum of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, etc. in clean rich soils. Any food with a food label on it is not always the best choice. There is always a better choice. Real food generally has no food label on it. Think fresh meat or fresh produce... no food labels. I shop from two areas of the grocery store, the meat dept and the fresh produce dept. If you can get your food from a small organic producer, even better. Stick to fresh whole foods with little or no processing for the most part, and if you consume a small amount of processed foods, you'll be fine. But if your diet is primarily processed or refined foods, you will at some point have health problems. I strive to consume at least 95%+ of my food from real food sources with no processing or refining other than general prepping and cooking. That way when I eat a bit of processed food, I know that I will still be healthy. TC |

My point was how it is unbelievable how a few nuts and one teeny piece
of cheese can have so many calories. It is so easy to over due it when it comes to nuts and cheese. Nobody can eat one nut or one ounce of cheese. Kinda like the Lays potato chip commercial Joe the Aroma wrote: "Laureen" wrote in message ups.com... Just remember if you're counting cals, a one inch cube of cheese has 100 calories.
