You can find lower sodium bread - when you look at the label to choose, pay attention to whether the serving size is 1 slide or 2, as you pointed out! Lunchmeat is hopeless. When I'm making dinner, I make an extra chicken breast and then use a mallet to make it thin and put it in the fridge - that's 1 or 2 sandwiches. Or I make extra meatloaf and have meatloaf sandwiches. Or I buy bagged salad, and when I make any kind of beef (steak, roast, etc) or pork, I make extra and put it on the salad to make it less boring.

Simply Jif is low in sodium, so you can make a PB&J! PB&banana is also a favorite of mine (and good for my potassium)

Keep in mind that salt is both a flavor enhancer and a product life extender. Before there was refrigeration, meat was allways coated and kept in salt. Anything processed is going to be loaded in sodium, shop around the boarder of the store not down the isles, fresh is best and unprocessed.

Hope it helps, the average person eats the same 16 meals on a recycling basis, it pays to track your diet for a few weeks and then go back and make modifications you can live with, add a few new things like yogurt and fruit.

So I love to eat a really good piece of bread!
Making it is NOT hard. You don't need any special
machines. Just a little time. If you've never done it before
just watch it on youtube and then give it a try. I use any bread
recipe and just don't put in any (ANY) salt. My favorite tool
is called a Danish Dough Whisk. It's a bent wire on a stick.
Since I got that, I don't use a bread machine, or fancy mixer
with a dough hook anymore. It is Very! easy.
For the meat, I do what newtoMD does... I make extra meat
at suppertime. Then I just slice it very thin. Another one of
my new favorites is roasting red peppers to put in the sandwiches.
Very good..... You can find mustards that are pretty low in sodium
too.... And add a piece of swiss cheese, or better yet a melted
swiss cheese sandwich on homemade bread.... with roasted red
peppers.... And it is good for you!

Rachel,

Can you make me one of those sandwiches and send it my way?

Please...LOL

One thing to look into is flour tortilla! This can replace bread and when you take only one slice of lunch meat and one slice of cheese you can put in a leaf of lettuce add mustard or any condiment, roll it up into a wrap. Put it in a paper towel and then foil wrap it. This will keep it moist and yet cool. The beauty of tortillas is that you can not put a lot of food in them yet it seems enough, if you need more food eat yogurt.

Hope this helps.

I'd love to make all of you a sandwich. Just pop in!

Watch out for sodium in those flour tortillas too. I still buy them
for my husband and one brand can be low, but I've seen some that
are 560mg sodium for just one medium sized tortilla. I know why
they do it, but it's disgusting, even for people who don't need low sodium.

Those are all great ideas. My wife and I have decided to attempt to buy low sodium options if at all possible, and to work extremely hard on OVERALL health. One of my biggest problems is I dispise lettuce. I've tried and tried to MAKE myself eat it, and I just can't do it. I'm going to start the first 3 supplements in John of Ohios regimen soon as well, and only one week removed from the ear procedure I got up and ran a mile this morning. I'm going to be very aggresive in fighting back with this condition. I have a wife and 2 young children that need me to be more than a lump on the couch and I'm determined to give that to them. (Not to mention I REFUSE to give up hunting and fishing, lol) I'm here on this site for good though, to get all the knowledge and advice I can cram into this little brain, and to offer as much as I can as well. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and keep up the fight, life can be too good not to!!!

Great positive attitude! We all need a lot of that.
God's blessings to you.

Try to find the movie. In search of the perfect human diet. It is a real Eye opener.

I found two products at Sam's Club: Castle Wood Reserve Herb Roasted Turkey Breast ( 230mg/2oz serving and 1 slice is less than 1 ounce) and Castle Wood Reserve Baby Swiss Cheese which is 35mg/slice. I use unsalted butter on low sodium bread or buns and load up with sliced tomatos and lettuce. A Tbsp of mayo (95mg) is my cheat item and I don't feel deprived at all. And Rich, thank you so much for introducing me to Morton Salt Substitute. Used SPARINGLY on fresh meats or pasta, even my husband doesn't miss the salt and it provides potassium which I need.

Wow!!! A dozen replies to your question about food so far. Suggestion: Print all the answers or copy down the recommendations. They are all good, although you still MUST read labels and don't buy highly salted foods. Once your taste buds forget about the salty taste, you will eat well (probably healthier thaan before) and enjoy food again.
Here's my usual breakfast: A cereal mix that I concoct myself, of puffed wheat and puffed gamut making up about 80% of the mix and then I add some high bran flakes and Cheerios for the last 20% to add flavor. Then not too much milk and/or half & half.
Either a slice or two of salt free bread (Safeway) with salt free butter . If I'm feeling really good, I'll substitute half a plain bagel and a thin covering of cream cheese with jam. My MD seems to do OK with that. Oh, and the morning newspaper. My wife calls this "Dullsville", but she doesn't have MD. Mal

I have noticce that Kroger is really offeriong alot more low sodium products, bread, olives, ketchup, roast beef from there deli, all i need now is a low sodiun mayo :)
