In reply to Dana. You're right, Dana. The sneakiest salt "situations" are those in which the food doesn't even taste salty. Whole foods for the win!

It’s unbelievable how much salt is added to processed food – even food that doesn’t taste salty at all! As you say, eating whole/real food is the easiest way to curb that intake!

In reply to Kenya G. Johnson. That's a great first step, Kenya: trying out Italian spice popcorn. Salt is so insidious, like you noted, that it takes a concerted effort to stay on top of it. But products like Herbamare are good alternatives too. The key is to slowly reduce the processed food. Half the battle is won there!

I use a calorie counting app that also breaks down how much sodium I consume. I’m over the limit almost everyday and the only thing that would make it intentional is the stuff I put on my popcorn. The rest of the sodium is already there in the foods I eat. I wonder if I could learn to like Italian Spice popcorn. I’m willing to give it a try. It’s so hard to not eat the processed stuff. Sigh. But I’d at least try first with the seasoning my popcorn differently.
