[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you both! I know the only true solution is to get in the kitchen, but also to get a lot better about checking labels. I read that rotisserie chickens can actually be infused with a ton of saline solution at most stores so that's risky too, even though I always thought it was a healthy idea.

If anyone has sauce or condiment ideas that are low in sugar and sodium, or at least low enough when used in moderation, please share! My husband can eat plain meat all day long but I just can't do it.[/quote]

yeah as delicious as that rotisserie chicken is, she is a pretty unhealthy bird.    Re the sodium question, do you have high blood pressure - is this the reason you're concerned?  If not, I would be more focused on the sugar than sodium aspect. And the closer to home made your meals are, the lower in sodium they will be in general. [/quote]

I have struggled with high blood pressure in the past, especially when I'm even just a few pounds overweight. My whole pregnancy I had it too. I'm close to a normal weight right now but I would guess its still elevated. The other problem for me is how puffy/bloated I feel after certain foods. It seemed like at first, cutting most added sugar completely took care of that. But now that it's been a couple months I'm feeling it again and can only guess that's attributed to the excess sodium.[/quote]

Drinking a lot of water throughout the day will help with that bloating as well OP. [/quote]
