I am new to MSG stuff. Never had the sterotype of MSG being bad. We actually have no idea about the sterotype thing. We rarely go to asian stores, because we don't know what to actually buy when we are in the store, our family don't know what things are used for. Will see if i can find Msg tomorrow to try on food.

[@streetsmartnutrition]

I hear you, there are so many things it can feel unfamiliar and intimidating. But you can make some great meals with just a couple of staples. If you find MSG and try it, I hope you enjoy - just remember to start with a little bit, you can always add more but you can't take it out once it's in there :)

[@ChairyCrasher]

@@streetsmartnutrition I found it where i live. Should i use it in Chili Sin Carne?

[@streetsmartnutrition]

I think that's a great option, we often use it in soups, stews, and chili. It should give it a nice savory flavor without being overly salty. Enjoy!

[@ChairyCrasher]

@@streetsmartnutrition thanks

[@sdscreations6953]

What are your thoughts on combining MSG and potassium chloride? Thx.

[@havanadaurcy1321]

MSG is found naturally in food. MSG=not eat anything at all

[@catherinedavis2782]

It would have never occurred to me to mix MSG with salt! Also appreciate you talking the anti-MSG propaganda. Great video with unique and more sustainable tips.

[@streetsmartnutrition]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! And I'm always happy to set the record straight about MSG!

I was near high blood pressure, which is coming down due to weight loss. I have reduced my salt to 3.75g per day. I walk 1 hour and 15 mins per day. Last week I lost 5 lbs. I am on a restricted calories to 1600 and I have decided I will live within those parameters going forward. The trouble is I am actually having trouble getting enough calories on lower salt. I can't eat nuts, cereals, oats or eggs due to IBS and anismus without getting ill. So making up calories whilst ensuring I am under 30g per day sugar is becoming stressful. I am supposed to be becoming healthy and less stressed yet its pure stress planning every day. In the UK the shops are packed with foods with salt and sugar. Thats the food they make cheap and affordable. Can anyone help? MSG is great btw. I am Scottish but I use it alot. I love Chinese food.

[@vr7719]

Have you tried south Indian or srilankan food

[@rangersnut]

@vr7719 No but since cutting gluten completely I am feeling better than I have in years. I have also been walking at minimum an hour a day. Yesterday I did over 26,000 steps. In 5 weeks I have lost 16lbs. I love to cook. I was trained as a chef in the past but I have never came across much opportunity in Scotland for Sri Lankan food. What would you recommend as a good healthy and flavourful meal?

[@cookingforsingles]

great tips! especially msg and eating hot food hot! 🙂

[@streetsmartnutrition]

Glad it was helpful! I'm a BIG fan of eating hot foods when they're hot and cold foods when they're cold!

[@cookingforsingles]

@@streetsmartnutrition me too! I'm also a really big fan of msg! 😅

[@kimberlydierikx4120]

Can you go lower than 1300 mgs

[@FromAbelToTable]

Msg with salt interesting

[@streetsmartnutrition]

Yep, it's an easy swap especially for anyone who doesn't want to use only MSG but wants to cut back a little on sodium. Thanks for watching!

[@Sharperthanu1]

If you become a vegetarian you will get a LOT more potassium in your diet.Potassium is also in beans,potatoes ,tomatoes AND bananas.

[@Sharperthanu1]

Also drinking a lot of water lowers your blood pressure.

[@louislerma545]

Potatoes, too many carbs
