One teaspoon of salt is about 2,300 milligrams of salt, which is exactly the same as the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for salt consumption. In all the mania to cut down on salt, please remember that a teaspoon of salt everyday is absolutely essential for your health. You need salt for proper fluid balance, for muscle contraction and relaxation, and for nerve impulse transmission. The Sugar-Free Miracle Diet is not overly concerned with limiting salt in home-prepared recipes, because daily salt consumption is automatically reduced by eating less processed foods.
That said, here’s a lovely salt substitute recipe. It comes from The Herb Companion (www.herbcompanion.com), and is especially nice on veggies, salads and eggs.
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons dried savory
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
1 teaspoon dried lemon peel, finely chopped
Store in an airtight jar or plastic container with a lid.
I'm the creator and director of The Sugar-Free Miracle Diet System, a weight loss program that's specifically designed to stop out-of-control eating. I've been working in this field since 1998 and have helped over 3,000 people to break free of the reliance on food for non nutritional reasons. Recently, my stopping program has been expanded to address all out-of-control behaviors. 
"It was easier to stay on it than I thought."
"I really didn''t have any cravings, and it was pretty easy."
"I don't cut fat out at all. I just incorporate it as I normally would do."
"You have to want to be good to yourself... Everyone can benefit from taking sugar out of their diet."
"It's a surprise how much food there is to eat on this program."
"I'm more productive throughout the day. I'm pleasant. I'm happier."
"I can see how it will be very easy to maintain"
