What are your thoughts on these? I know I consume way too much salt. What is the best substitute to use that won't cause any kind of problems? Does anyone know?

I love to use Mrs. Dash instead of salt. There are a few different flavors of her, extra spicy is great on eggs. But I was never a user of salt, so I don't know how it compares.

Have you tried switching from regular salt to sea salt? I think sea salt is supposed to either have less sodium in it or a saltier flavor (resulting in less needed), I'm not sure which.

Yes, I do use sea salt. I like it better, I just feel like I'm still getting too much sodium. Thanks.

There's a product called Nu-Salt, that's sodium free that supposedly tastes, measures, and sprinkles like salt. I've used it one time and I thought it had the oddest flavor. Sort of salt-like, but weird. My dad used it all the time, and he didn't mind it, so maybe it just depends on the person, whether you like this stuff or not.

When I was a kid my parents used Nu-Salt to try and help with my mother's high BP.
Parmesan is fairly salty, and I know a few healthy eaters who will go for a sprinkling of it over a sprinkling of salt.

Light salt was recommended to my mother when she did the Quick weight loss diet. Personally I can't tell a difference in the flavor. I am a salt addict too! Kosher salt has less sodium than regular salt and sea salt has less sodium in it too. If I am not mistaken, and I could be, I think kosher salt has less sodium than some sea salts. Go to the grocery store and compare the sodium content on the boxes. That is what I did when I was pregnant. I ended up buying Kosher salt, so that is why I am thinking it has the lowest sodium than regular and sea salts. Can't give any input on Nu-salt, never tried or heard of it.

I use sea-salt now, it's lower sodium than the 'normal' salt, and frankly I think it tastes a lot better!
