I got this great stuff from pampered chef a short while ago.. I just fell in love with the flavors. It's called Jamaican Jerk Rub.



Little one picked it up and read the label to me tonight - it has raw sugar and salt in it.



That kind of defeats the purpose behind no salt containers and sweet leaf sweetener in the house.



So I'm looking for suggestions guys and gals.

Try mixing the ingredients yourself but omit the salt and sugar:

This was a good one. I printed it and taped it inside the spice cabinet door.

The meat gets coated with oil for the seasoning mix to adhere to. My wife uses a light spray of PAM ( zero calories, fat, salt and carbs) on the meat and the seasoning mix adheres just fine. :)

Avoid going on the scale on a regular basis. For most people the is a bad habit. You see the scale can be very discouraging. If you constantly go on the scale and do not see a decrease in your weight you will feel like giving up because you may think that your program is not working. But note that the scale can be misleading. You see while you are losing weight, you are also building muscles:yh_rotfl

I never used much salt before I discovered this stuff: Organic Sesame Salt - Gomasio Set of 3

Regular table salt is very heavily processed but sea salt is as natural as you can get and still has minerals etc in it. I take an iodine supplement since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, so I don't worry about the lack of additives. Anyway, this stuff is DELICIOUS!
