Sugar, Salt, and other nice Things

It's been 3 months with no sugar. It's been about 2 weeks on low sodium. It is amazing the levels of sodium in stuff, lunch meat = 250mg per slice, canned chili = 500 mg per 1/2 cup, thats all I can remember at this minute. The sodium thing is harder than the sugar. I found some fruit juice sweetened dried fruit at the health food store so I was able to make some granola. Tonight I made a big pot of chili. It really tastes different with out the salt. I also left out the beans because all the brands had too much sodium in them. The American Heart Association recommends 2,500 mg of sodium per day. I usually use 4 slices of lunch meat on a sandwich. When I started on low sodium my size 10 jeans were TIGHT, now my size 8 jeans are loose.
