How do i stop eating food with so much fucking salt. I stopped fast food, but even if I buy premade meals from The store NONE of them can even do below 650mg per 400 cal meal without tasting bland. They put 1000mg yet it still tastes bland as shit.
>>
>>22021594
It's the opposite, everything is undersalted now. Last time I went to McDicks fries tasted like nothing.
>>
>>22021596
If you eat McDonalds youll hit 4000mg

You should be at 1800mg or lower ideally
>>
>>22021594
>NONE of them can even do below 650mg per 400 cal meal without tasting bland. They put 1000mg yet it still tastes bland as shit.
that's sodium, not salt.
salt is sodium chloride, not just sodium.
the secret is to add one shake of salt from the shaker to every dish at the table.
salt is not for cooking, it's for blessing.
>>
>>22021598
Mgs don't count for shit if when I get my fries I barely see a speck of salt.
>>
>>22021599
I'm not following. I cooked a broccoli chicken and cheese casarole dish and I used a can of cream of chicken with milk. Maybe I used too much milk but god damn was it fucking bland as hell. Had to add another 1500mg if salt to it.
>>
>>22021605
when you cook with salt the flavor of the salt dissipates and is harder to taste.
just one shake from the salt shaker right before you dig in is all you need.
>>
>>22021610
But won't the dish be bland then? How do they serve meals at restaurants like pasta or vegetable based dishes. Are you telling me they season them afterwards.
>>
>>22021594
All processed food is loaded with salt to make it palatable. To avoid it you would need to actually start cooking.
>>
>>22021626
I did cook I made chicken and broccoli rice with cheese reduced fat.

I used an entire can of cream of chicken that was 2800mg. Maybe I used too much milk but it was bland. It was a 9x13 baking dish. I had to add more salt to it its probably over 4500mg for the whole pan, 1300 per serving
>>
>>22021594
you could try, idk, cooking. just a thought.
>>

sysco slop is salted for perservation.
>>
>>22021630
use msg for youmamy
>>
>>22021654
>youmamy
it's "ooh mommy!"
>>
>>22021630
you know there's a lot of shit you can cook without dumping an entire can of premade goyslop into it. you could have just made sauteed chicken and broccoli with a cheese sauce and rice on the side.

you still need salt in your food for taste, but your tastebuds are probably fucked from eating nothing but the sloppiest of slop. you're gonna need to detox for a bit and just eat some normal fucking food.

this is the most autistic thread on /ck/ right now

>>22021679
idk i was thinking of making a thread about how the plastic bags at the grocer feel icky and give me goosebumps when it makes contact with vegetables. i reckon i could beat it

Buy a salt lick.
>>
>>22021685
that's a lamp
>>
>>22021684
that's a good thing. those plastic bags are just unnecessary waste. just don't use them. you're going to wash your produce anyway, right? so who cares if it touches the conveyor belt for 30 seconds, it's not anything worse than it's already been exposed to sitting around. if it's a matter of carrying your produce, you can buy reusable cloth bags if you want.
>>
>>22021594
Are you sure it’s not a desensitization thing? Maybe just endure the blandness for a while (or even do a day of salt fasting) to reset your tongue to lower salt.

Also I don’t know if it’d actually help but you could try using a tongue scraper

>>22021684
The green produce bags at Trader Joe’s make me feel this way, they have a weird almost velvety texture and are hard to open
>>
>>22021707
the green bags are likely biodegradable and made of cornstarch, which is why they feel so weird.. i worked in a small organic grocery where we used the same.
>>
>how do i stop eating food…
by keeping it out of your mouth, fat fuck. idc what comes after in that sentence, ever, if that’s how it starts. pig fuck fat fatty fat bitch

<( ‘ . ‘ )> this is you (fat)

>>22021594
Stop buying food, buy ingredients
>>
>>22021594
>without tasting bland
You gotta use other spices. Tou quickly get to where any salt is too much. t. gout sufferer
>>
>>22021594
I'm the opposite, sort of.
I never felt the need to add salt to any food for decades and just recently I've been putting garlic salt on fucking everything.
Am I just dehydrated or something?
>>
>>22021605
>>22021596
Sounds more like you just like the taste of salt.
Putting salt on anything that isn't meat does nothing, you use pepper for that.

Stop being a pussy

hypertensive geriatrics have demonised salt to such a ridiculous degree you actually got mind-broken into thinking salt is bad for you
>>
>>22021594
what do i do about the food i cook? its always has no fucking salt because im scared of putting too much salt (which ive done before) then when im eating it i have to keep adding salt to it
i want my food to be saltier but i also dont want to turn into my mother who puts a metric load of salt on everything she ate

There's no real reason to avoid salt in your diet. Unlike excess calories that get stored as fat, excess salt isn't retained to accumulate in your body. If you eat more salt than you need, it just passes in your urine, so as long as you drink enough water along with your meal, the salt is no big deal. Conveniently, the body responds to salty food by making you thirst, just to remind you to drink enough for it to clear the excess salt.
>>
>>22021940
It's funny how a graph that only shows two variables increasing over time can demonize seed oils to an entire generation, but the fact that your body requires only 500mg of sodium per day, yet we get about 7x that much, only registers as "damned geriatrics messing up our lives!"
>>
Did you thought of cooking for yourself?
>>
>>22021692

they biodegrade in like 2 weeks, anon.

Salt is good for you
the japs eat tons of salt, western nutrition "experts" are all israeli moles trying to keep you sick, weak and dumb
>>
>>22021594
Starve yourself for a few days. I find I get sick of even my favourite flavours, but after a few days of just water I'm so hungry that a baked potato with the barest sprinkle of salt tastes amazing. It resets my brain for a few weeks makes indulging in sweets incredibly satisfying. I recommend breaking your fast with a small cut of pork belly, just with salt and pepper, followed by a date pudding with whipped cream. Fucking heavenly.

Why are they hypertensive?
>>
>>22021594
So? Just drink more water if you like salt

This is quite possibly the dumbest take I've ever read on this board

>>22021908
potassium chloride is the third shot in a lethal injection.
it's added to bottled water to make "the kool-aid".
keeps people docile.

what are you, from the midwest?
australia?
the uk?

What, you got a dumber take? Lets hear it

>>22022105
Its not good for the kidneys to go consume a lot of salt or the stomach. Stomach cancer, kidney problems especially acidic drinks too. The body was meant to process neutral ph in nature.

first, stop eating premade meals you fucking idiot
second, why are you trying to eat less salt? is this a doctors recommendation or are you just falling for memes?
>>
>>22021908
Dumb bitch, losing all her salt
>>
>>22022187

And a salt solution has what ph exactly?...
Remember, he specifically said water.

ingest too much dihydrogen monoxide and you die too.

i bet you felt real clever typing up that post.
>>
>>22021594
make your own food????

Use freshly ground salt and put it on your dish after its done, not when cooking
>>
imagine OP's veins
>>
>>22022714
unaffected by salt in any way
>>
>>22022835
maybe on planet retard
>>
>>22022684
"Freshly ground salt" is a meme, it's just nacl
Why do americans even care this much about salt? in my country salt = candy and we have 7x lower obesity/dietary related diseases
>>
>>22022885
same reason the first type of US salads is "leafy vegetable 70% by volume"
>IT'S """HEALTHY"""
salt is not """HEALTHY""", thus people are retarded about it
mindless meme based society
>>
>>22021594
OP your taste buds are just numb to the massive amounts of salt in your diet. If you just cut salt out of your diet for a month or two your taste buds will adjust. Like 1000 mg a day.
>>
>>22021594
Heat your micromeals in the oven with the cover off. It'll evaporate more of the water, caramelise some of the sugars and make them taste richer and stronger with no additional calories.

That aside, try different umami flavours. Pic related is a game changer splashed on cheesy foods or stirred into meaty stock heavy dishes. Low sodium soy sauce, malt vinegar, strong cheddar or parmesan, strong flavoured chillies like Scotch bonnet or chipotle (in the latter especially the smoky flavour is stronger than the spice so you don't even need to take your head off with the heat)
>>
>>22023561
Imagine being a pseud about microwave meals
