What is a good natural sugar and salt alternative? |
Issue I want to start a diet, I am switching white flour to wheat but unsure about sugar and salt. Should they just be avoided? Best Tip I too have for the most part eliminated whtie sugar/white flour. Just once every couple of months and I am considering just avoiding it 100% instead of the 99%. For sugar, which I don't really crave anymore, I eat fruits and also use "Sucanat" which is raw unprocessed sugar which does have some nutritional value. I also use honey once in a while, usually in recipes or on toast. You don't need a lot. Another plus of honey is that it never spoils. For Salt, I use "Sea Salt" which does contain some trace elements that are good for your body. I also use other spices and seasonings like Garlic powder, chili powder, habanero pepper (very hot) and whatever else I am in the mood for. I also use something called nutritional yeast which has a somewhat cheesy flavor and tastes really good on eggs. Good luck, you'll feel so much better not having the white flour/white sugar. Source(s): Personal Experience Others Splenda is a great sugar alternative, you really don't notice any sort of different taste like other sweeteners with aspartame(which is really bad for you btw) and as for seasoning, Ms. Dash really does the trick. honey, splenda, lemon, you can get used to nothing but if you must, try these. A friend once told me to sweeten my tea with dried dates. that was actually very good. I RECENTLY HEARD OF A DIET CALLED THE MAYO CLINIC DIET. IT LETS YOU OSE ABOUT 45-60LBS. IN ONLY 2 MONTHS FOR MORE DETAILS GO TO WWW.MAYOCLINICDIET.COM I love Splenda for the sugar sub., but there is this stuff called Nosalt, salt sub., but I wasn't all that impressed with that. And not they're saying that taking out too much salt is bad for you, so if used in moderation, it is benificial. Now BUTTER is what I have a prob with! Can't find a good sub. for that!! Refined sugars should be limitted to no more than 10% of total calories a day, (however, complex carbs should still constitute about 50% of the total). This means VERY VERY little sweet things in your diet. If you can't live without sweet things, substitute sugar for sucralose which is a good-tasting substitute. Salt should be cut down from your diet if you have high blood pressure. Check with your doctor about that. If you don't have any health problems though, salt can be left intact. |
