My sister and I got into it yesterday since I feel I'm the only one in the family with a sense of urgency about this. She's stressing me out and I don't want to be an only child.

It’s a terrible newly lonely feeling. Fight like hell, as I know you are. You are spot on, you do NOT want to become an only child.

It’s amazing just how loaded everything is with salt. Bowl of soup? Pass. Even the low sodium ones range in the 30% mark. Death sentence in the making.

Yep, once you cut back on salt you really notice how overused it is.

I'd love to see a cooking show where all of these fancy chefs are not allowed to use salt. All of their palates have been so oversaturated that they don't have a clue how real food tastes anymore.

Salt and sugar (at the risk of triggering Sara). Shits insane how much is in EVERYTHING.

Being said it's all moderation

Sex should definitely be had in excessive amounts. I swear it's the key to a youthful appearance and vigor. I can go all night…..literally.

My (late) best friend used to pig out on Walmart rotisserie chicken at least once per week. Showing him the nutrition label where it had almost 650mg salt for a 3-ounce serving (IIRC) did not deter him from eating 16 ounces of that sodium bomb in one sitting...or sprinkling even more salt on it.

The hospital dietician who gave me the speech told me where there was a deli nearby that makes their own no-salt cold cuts in-house. We also picked up a deli slicer for home, and occasionally make salt-free roast beef cold cuts from the local beef farm's grass-fed/finished roasts.....

My sister was a food science major at Cal Poly, and I remember she once dialed down the salts and sugars in her diet. After about 45 days, her taste buds changed/adjusted. So much, in fact, that a piece of wheat bread tasted too sweet; she stopped using salt almost entirely. It's crazy how the body adjusts.

Life’s too short. Eat what I want in moderation. Intermittent Fast a different schedule ever day and work out routinely. Give me the salt. Give me the sugar and if necessary, give me the death.

Hence why I ate what I ate today, but I'm going to howl out like a werewolf in the gym in an hour.

Sounds like my sister. I called my niece this evening to ask her what my sister ate today and if she exercised. Tysons chicken nuggets was not the answer I wanted to hear.

When my dad had a heart attack at 52 (?) due to him eating poorly while living out of an RV in the oil fields and smoking a pack of cigs a day for the past 30 years. 9 hours away from my mom and I, I think that's the only time she has not yelled at me for driving too fast. Heart function was down to 31% and he now has a monitor/defib in his chest. Doc told him he needs to quit or it will happen again, and he did quit for a while, but now he smokes again and drinks 5 cans of Coke a day.

I have been yelling at him about smoking since I was probably 10 years old and sure as gods got sandals it damn near kills him, and now he is right back at it

Pork is usually high in sodium... wait what are we talking about?

The neighbor set the stage with the implied proposition. I didn't bite. Willpower! ….so now I'm driving to San Diego to see the lawyer to avoid ending up in bed with the neighbor (…who is high off edibles and horny).

I was a smoker. 2 packs a day for close to 30 years. Told myself I was going to get cancer. Didn't want to do that to my family. Started using Nicorette. Would quit (because it works), then visit a friend who smokes. Tell myself "I can have one," then start up again. Did that over and over. Took me almost 5 years to fully quit. Has been more than 20 years. Can't even stand the smell now - makes me angry! Cigarettes are bad, m'kay?

Good for you!

I too can not stand the smell. When I go to my buddies shop I can only make it about half the day before my head hurts so bad from the smoke and smell.

My dad is bored being medically retired, so now he smokes out of boredom. He is building musky fishing lures as something to do, but doesn't have a big or heated shop so during the winter so he pretty much sits around the house when its cold, and in MN that's a big part of the year.
