I Am sick of having steamed fish and boiled chicken with nothing but lemon and olive oil....i'm doing a very low salt diet to shed unneeded water weight... My q is...how can i spice it up without upping the salt....i've had it up to the yin yang with bland fish and chicken...i'm gonna start puking if i have to eat another serving...

Try some Ms.Dash, it's sodium free. You might also want to locate some Maui Onion salsa, which is sodium and sugar free for the most part. Try garlic and pepper as well to add some needed flavor.

pepper is key...and i was gonna say Ms. Dash as well...also just go to the super and find some good seasoings...things like oregano, paprika and basil are all pretty much sodium free...also, if you drink enough water (1.5-2gallons a day) then sodium shouldnt really be an issue...unless you are contest dieting.

I'll be honest w/my feelings on this.
Plain ass chicken and yams or whatever you utilize to drop all the water you can, and for whatever reason, gets straight up BORING!!!!!!
I never realized how much salt/sodium satisfies our taste buds. It's also a flavor carrier (actually enhancer, fat is a carrier) for OTHER flavors in a food, so when it's omitted your food tastes like @$$.
I've tried pepper, lemon pepper, Mrs. Dash, Mr. Sprint, etc., but man, there is nothing that is going to really help the ordeal after a few days. Hopefully u are just doing this for pics or a show, as doing this long-term is not healthy anyhow.
U may wish to drink distilled water in place of regular drinking water to help shed some excess water weight, it works!

y;ou could go low sodium salt and lots of pepper. There are usually some other low sodium seasonings available.

I've literally made a list of everything you bros have suggested, mrs dash, sprint, oregano, basil, hot sauce, garlic.....i'm getting ALL OF THEM ...its not that I'm trying to completely eliminate salt from my diet..just during breakfast and dinner..because meals like lunch are at my place of work and although i can pretty much find a clean meal to fit the bill, the salt i cant control..just balancing i guess....i'm cutting but not contest cutting .but i do have alot of water weight. anyways, thanx for the suggestions...i'm goin shopping today

I used to use Knorr seasoning a lot but found out it was bad. I regularly use sesame oil, chili oil in place of olive oil. Ive also found out that paprika, cayenne pepper, basil, oregano will usually make the chicken/fish more tolerable as the taste isnt as monotonous.

Yeah, get in the habit of pounding water. Those who hold water tend to not drink as much for fear of holding more, but the opposite holds true. U won't hold on to something you get a plethora of.
Also, going very low or low in general on sodium for extended periods of time is very unhealthy actually. Better to drink more water and eat the sodium, than to restrict water and sodium. You only do that for a few days before a show or pics/event, u can't live like this.
