Preparation
The cost of commercially canned special diet food often prompts interest in preparing these products at home. Some low-sugar and low-salt foods may be easily and safely canned at home. However the color, flavor and texture of these foods may be different than expected and be less acceptable.
CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR
In canning regular fruits without sugar, it is very important to select fully ripe but firm fruits of the best quality. Prepare these as described for hot-packs for each fruit, but use water or regular unsweetened fruit juices instead of sugar syrup. (For more information see additional publications for individual fruits.) Juice made from the fruit being canned is best. Blends of unsweetened apple, pineapple, and white grape juice are also good for filling over solid fruit pieces. Adjust headspaces and lids and use the processing recommendations given for regular fruits. Add sugar substitutes, if desired, when serving.
CANNING WITHOUT SALT (REDUCED SODIUM)
To can tomatoes, vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood, follow the normal procedures for canning, but omit the salt. In these products, salt seasons the food but is not necessary to ensure its safety. Add salt substitutes, if desired, when serving.

Diet tips
In planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The argument against low carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is really safe for you?
Remember, one point that is often overlooked, it is very difficult (though not technically impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a low carbohydrate diet.
Even though there is anecdotal evidence that illustrates that reduced carb diets can help reduce weight, some of this anecdotal evidence has resulted in much debate between nutrition experts, and their relative safety has been brought into question
Wonder foods with carotenes
(includes carrots, collard greens and sweet potatoes)
These amazing healthy superfoods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought by many play a key part in cancer prevention, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. The majority of these are low in calories, so make sure you add them to your diet.
