Low/no sugar or low salt foods

Hi y’all!

I spoke to the dietician in my weight management program, and she’s recommended I look for no sugar foods. I’m adding low sugar because some things are gross without sugar (we tried sugar-free jam, but BARF!). Other things should be fine (Jell-o is easy to eat with braces, and sugar-free should be fine). I’d also love any low sodium ideas. Any help is appreciated! P.S.- I’m in the NE portion of the states, so brands may differ, but ideas are welcome all the same. :slight_smile:

I wish sugar didn’t make everything taste so damn good. It would be a lot easier for me to lose weight!

Google Zero Point soup. It’s a veggie soup that borrows its name from Weight Watchers. Lots of variations and recipes for it, almost all guilt free.

Thanks for that!

Do you bake? I have a great low sugar cookbook. The big book of diabetic desserts.

Very good, highly recommend.

I can bake. I can decorate cakes and cookies, too! :wink:
But seriously, I can bake. I just can’t stand to mix or grill things for long at all. Short prep is ideal.

So I’m on this way of eating due to my various health issues. Number one thing is to not eat anything processed or refined. Make everything from scratch as much as possible, especially sauces. There is a lot of hidden sodium and sugar in pre made sauces. You can really control sodium and processed sugar by making it homemade. The internet is your friend. If you google easy homemade Alfredo sauce, I guarantee you’ll find hundreds of recipes. It may seem daunting at first, but be adventurous. And if you don’t like what you make, the possibilities are endless so you can always make something different.

Hey Happy_H,

I noticed that i use less salt when the food is dry.

For example my daily oats, baking fresh bread and so on.

But i use much more oil, it’s okay for me.

Most salt i used for soups.

When you going to loose weight eat never sugar and fat in the same meal i read, i think it’s true.

Fat makes meals more tasty too, that i gained weight cause of that i cannot say
