The following post was written by USC Dietetic Intern Jessica Myers.  Be sure to follow her on Instagram @myersxhealth . If you are following a low sodium diet, you might find it difficult to adhere to your dietary plan while still being able to go out and enjoy a meal. Sometimes it feels like many restaurants use salt as if it’s the first ingredient in most of their recipes. Am I right?! The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day and currently, the average American eats more than 3,400 mg of sodium everyday.

I can’t believe my very first book, Mediterranean Diet Meal Prep Cookbook,  is officially released today!  Needless to say, I am very excited to see the culmination of a ton of hard work! Healthy meal prep is a great way to save time during the week AND ensure you have nutrient-rich food ready at your fingertips.  One of the keys to easy meal prep is choosing a variety of recipes that aren’t overly complicated. I find that it helps to have 1 meal during the week that you can just throw together into a to-go container, oftentimes with components that don’t need to be cooked.&nbs ..read more

My opinion completely changed once I actually tried meal prepping for myself.  So much so, that I wrote a book devoted to it called Mediterra ..read more

“My Doctor ordered a low sodium diet. Where the heck do I start???” If your doctor has ordered a low sodium diet for you or for a loved one, chances are, you didn’t get very much guidance of what to do next besides removing the salt shaker from the table. I definitely had the “where the heck do I start” thought when my husband found out he had heart failure.  Even dietitians can have a minor freak out before stepping back to thoughtfully assess a situation.  Assisting others in a plan is very different than having to implement that same plan for your own family! So, believe me.  I totally get ..read more
