More high sodium foods to avoid if you want to lose weight

  • bacon
  • ham
  • hamburgers
  • beefburgers
  • Cornish pasties
  • Spam
  • pâté
  • potted meat
  • most shop-bought sandwiches
  • ready-made sandwiches
  • pitta bread
  • pikelets
  • bagels
  • crisps and other savoury snacks (Look for reduced-salt crisps and unsalted crisps.)
  • bread (Warburton's and some other manufacturers make some healthy bread with lower sodium content.)
  • cornflakes and most other breakfast cereals (check on pack)

Remember - so-called 'slimming' foods are often high in salt! - You will not lose weight by eating foods high in salt, however low in fat they are!

Most sodium we eat is from salt (sodium chloride), but sodium is also present in MSG (monosodium glutamate), in baking powder, in bicarbonate of soda and in a few other compounds which are sometimes added to food.
