Sodium Warning

I wanted to share something that happened to me this past week. I had brought some frozen pre-cooked dinners, which were delicious and convenient. I had it three days in a row. I then proceeded to gain 10 pounds in less than a week. The sodium content was anywhere from 50% to 63% of you daily allowance for a person eating a 2000 cal diet. Needless to say the weight gain was a result of water retention. I went to my local doctor. My blood pressure was the highest it has ever been and he put me on a diuretic. I have lot the 10 pounds of excess water weight since Saturday but my blood pressure is still high. So be warned read the labels. K. Reed

Reed, thank you for your information. We all have to still be carefull and read the labels. Once in a while I have made the mistake and bought a frozen dinner that hurt my intestines and gave me chest pains. Can you share what kind of frozen dinner it was? And what the Nutrition Facts say? Take care and let us know how your situation is progressing.

I don't want to say the name of the product because as big as the internet is I don't want them coming after me and suing because I hurt their sales. (Hey stranger things have happened. Can you say Oprah and beef) So just be careful to read the labels. K. Reed
