I had a quad bypass 20 years ago and was told to go on a no salt diet, along with a no fat diet ( Dean Ornish ). Tried it for a while but it was too hard to maintain. Do what you like, but I would suggest moderation in all foods, increase exercise, drink water instead of sodas including diet sodas. Lose weight if you are heavier that you know you should be. Eliminate cakes, cookies, chips, and any processed foods. DO NOT go to any where advertising all you can eat and push away from the table. It can be done, it's not terrible, and you will feel better.
