Question

Foods to avoid on a low-sodium, low-salt diet?

Answer 1

Saturated fats: Avoid fried foods and fast foods since they are mostly saturated fats. Increase your fruit and vegetable consumption because they are fat free (except for an avocado which is unsaturated fat). Try to have skim and low fat dairy product ( they are also saturated fats. Look for mono and polyunsaturated fats. Avoid any food in which the nutritional label has more than 30% of the calories from fat.

Answer 2

Bad mistake: Low fat diets are unhealthy and the cause of many of our chronic degenerate diseases. Please rethink this! they do not work!

Answer 3

Suggestions:: 1) low fat dairy products are great for bone-strengthening calcium, vitamin D & other nutrients but avoid high fat versions; 2) trim meat consumption (try 1 or 2 meatless days a week to start, unless ready to go vegetarian); 3) optimize intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (as tolerated). Enjoy--

Answer 4

Fried: Avoid fried foods, many fast foods are high in fat so check online first. Ideally you want less than 30% of your calories from fat with most from unsaturated fats. Try for lean meat, poultry and fish with whole grains fruits and vegetables. Try not to add butter to your vegetables and minimizecreme sauses and soups.

Answer 5

Yes: Breast fed babies can be sensitive to gas producing foods in mom's diet. These include foods like peppers, cabage, caffeine, chocolate, onions and tomato among others.

Answer 6

Yes: Babies, and people in general, get gas usually because there are undigested food particles and/or fiber in the large intestine. The food particles and fiber are then digested by the bacteria living in the large intestine, and bacteria's digestion produces gas. So, the foods that a person eats, that are items he himself cannot fully digest, will become food for his bacteria.

Answer 7

Yes: Babies can have digestive issues with different foods a trial and error proces usually can identify the offending agents.

Answer 8

Breast feeding: Yes your diet directly affects the baby if you are breast feeding. A balanced diet with lots of fluids help you and your baby.

Answer 9

Yes: Water is probably the best diet drink you can drink during pregnancy. Soft drinks, whether diet or not, are usually not the best drinks in pregnancy. I would suggest healthier drinks, such as juices, milk, electrolyte drinks such as gatorade or powerade rather than purely synthetic drinks. I would stay away from energy drinks.

Answer 10

Yes: Moderation. While no association has been reported from currently used artificial sweeteners it's always wise to proceed with some restraint. Similar for caffeine.

Answer 11

Yes: You can but do it in moderation. You are better off drinking water.

Answer 12

No: It is not recommended that you take any diet drinks in pregnancy. Avoid anything that is not natural. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, cigarette smoke and drugs. Carbonation can cause more problems with acidity and heart burn. Fetal development is most important up to 16 weeks.

Answer 13

Milk, water are best: The first rule is to eat healthy foods. The second is to avoid foods that can cause harm. Carbonated diet beverages add no nutrient value, replace liquids from healthful drinks, and damage the teeth according to dentists. Avoiding them in pregnancy and if breastfeeding might help women and their families avoid them later also.

Answer 14

Hydrate and HYDRATE!: Hydration is very important in pregnancy and one of the best things to drink is skim milk. Plenty of water is also good. But diet drinks are ok too if you don't like the taste of plain water. Flavored water and mix-up drinks like crystal lite are ok. Carbonated diet drinks would be down the list because of the carbonation, but they're still better than the full-sugar versions.

Answer 15

Depends!: Best to completely avoid all alcohol and extra carbs. Ask your doctor to send you to a GI specialist for your liver problems.

Answer 16

Weird: That is a weird thing. I think you should be checked out by your doctor.

Answer 17

Avoid animal fats: Saturated fats are bad for human health. This means avoid animal fats which come in all meats(especially red meats) and dairy products(milk, ice cream, regular yogurt and milk shakes). Use olive oil for cooking and avoid any solid fats(which means saturated fats).
