Thin slices of meats. In crock pots cook chicken ...... roast beef ...... pork steak. Just use water, dash of mustard, bit of herbs, lemon, for sweetness add some honey.

use the broth to make vegetable soup. do not add salt!! EAT A LOW SODIUM DIET.

Fruits.... lots of fruits cut up and veggies. NO DIPS FROM THE STORE. No sodium. Make your own for veggies. Yoghurt or low fat sour cream add lemon, Ms. Dash herbs or use your own home grown herbs.

Use a "george forman" grill. Ground Turkey, Chicken patty. make your own NO SODIUM ketchup and little mustard.
