How to Reduce Your Sodium Intake While Dining Out

When we eat at home we have several advantages. First of all, we can prepare our foods in any way we desire. This is very important given that most restaurant meals are laden with high calorie and high sodium ingredients. When dining out, we are usually unaware of the nutritional facts of each meal. This can be especially troublesome for those of us who are on a low-sodium diet. That's why, in this article, I will reveal several tips which will help you better manage your sodium intake while dining out.

- Ask a lot of questions. Be sure to ask about the preparation of your meal. If at all possible ask whether the process of adding salt can be skipped.
- Try restaurants where foods are cooked to order. This way you can get a meal just the way you want it.
- Skip meals with sauces. Sauces tend to be laden with salt.
- Skip the casseroles and stick with foods which are grilled, baked, or roasted.
- Salsa and ketchup can be very high in sodium. Use them only when necessary.
- If you are in a habit of putting salt on your food before even tasting it, you need to taste it first!
- You can always bring your own low-sodium spices from home and ask that your food be prepared without any spices.
- Be sure that your meal is accompanied by fresh or steamed veggies (plain).
- Remember that cheese, olives, deli meat croutons, and salad dressing are rich in sodium.


These are just a few tips to help you reduce your sodium intake while dining out. A healthy diet is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition can also help you lose weight. Other natural weight loss tools include all natural diet pills.
