Maybe there are some great recipes, but the easiest way is to stop using salt and animal fats

Low sodium recipe:
Try some of the following ingredient replacements to save on calories,
and fat and sodium.
Use:
*skim (non-fat) milk instead of 2% or whole milk (homogenized)
*skim (non-fat) or 1% yogurt instead of 2% or whole yogurt
*light or non-fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream
*yogurt, non-fat sour cream or low-fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream (you may have to use a starch thickener to maintain a similar consistency in some cooked sauces, if you substitute yogurt for sour cream)
*lower fat cheese instead of regular cheese. The choices in lower fat cheeses are improving all the time. The percentage by weight of milk fat (% M.F.) or butter fat (% B.F.) is marked on the label. Look for cheeses below 20 % M.F. If you have high serum cholesterol, you will look for cheeses 10 % or below for every day use.
*light coconut milk instead of regular coconut milk which is exceptionally high in saturated fat and total fat.
*light mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise
*low calorie or fat free salad dressings instead of regular dressings
*less oil than the recipe calls for.

You will also want to:
*save any recipes calling for deep frying for special occasions
*remove and discard the skin from chicken and poultry before you add the seasonings so you won't be tempted to eat the tasty, crispy cooked skin.

You may also want to consider trying the following suggestions:
*eliminate the added salt called for in recipes
*replace salts like onion salt, garlic salt, celery salt and seasoning salt with onion flakes, garlic powder and herbs
*substitute low-sodium soy sauce for regular soy sauce
*cut down or eliminate the chicken soup base, oxo or beef soup base in the recipe
*avoid recipes using hard cheeses such as cheddar or eliminate cheese from the recipe
*substitute unsalted meat, fish or poultry for ham or bacon or eliminate the salted meat entirely from the recipe.

He must be a lucky one if he has you to watch for his health.

I think we should tell Abirward to change the title of this forum to Self improvement for you and your partner
