The foods that should be avoided are those rich in salt, sugar, white wheat flour and fat, such as:
- Sugar: sugar, sweets, desserts, cakes, chocolate;
- Salt: salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, meat and vegetable bouillon cubes, meat tenderizer, packet soups;
- White wheat flour: breads, cakes, white bechamel-type sauces, breaded;
- Fats: fried foods, red meat, bacon, sausage, salami, mortadella, ham, high-fat red meat, whole milk, and yellow cheeses like cheddar;
- Industrialized products: filled cookies, sweets or snacks, frozen ready meals, pizza, lasagna, pasteurized soft drinks and juices.
To substitute salt in the preparation of food, natural herbs and seasonings such as onion, garlic, rosemary, parsley, thyme, basil and oregano can be used, as they add more flavor to meals and do not cause fluid retention in the Body.
