Low Sodium Meals Delivered

Why low sodium eating matters for your health

Most Australians eat roughly double the recommended daily sodium limit of 2,000mg — and most of it comes not from the salt shaker but from packaged and processed foods. When you eat too much sodium, your body holds onto extra fluid to dilute it. That extra fluid increases the volume of blood in your arteries, which forces your heart to work harder — raising your blood pressure. Over time, this damages arteries, strains the heart and significantly raises the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and heart failure.

The good news: reducing sodium intake is one of the fastest and most effective dietary changes you can make. Clinical research cited by the RACGP shows blood pressure can drop measurably within two to four weeks of consistent low-sodium eating — comparable to the effect of a low-dose blood pressure medication.

Cardiovascular conditions contribute to 44% of all deaths in Australia. The George Institute for Global Health identifies excess sodium as the single most modifiable risk factor — which is exactly why we cook with Heart Salt. 

Low sodium meals for every condition

Our low sodium meals are commonly ordered by people managing:

• High blood pressure (hypertension) — every meal supports the DASH diet's core goal of reducing dietary sodium while increasing potassium from whole-food vegetables.
• Heart disease & stroke recovery — chef-prepared meals delivered to the door remove the burden of low-sodium cooking during recovery.
• Kidney disease & renal conditions — under 600mg sodium per serve helps people in early-to-moderate stages manage their intake; please check with your nephrologist if you also need to limit potassium or phosphorus.
• Fluid retention & oedema — consistent low sodium eating helps the body release excess retained fluid.
• Meniere's disease — a low sodium diet is a primary management strategy; our meals make hitting a consistent daily target straightforward.
• Osteoporosis — high sodium accelerates calcium loss; a lower-sodium diet supports bone density alongside other management strategies.

Many of our customers come to us on the recommendation of their GP, cardiologist, renal dietitian or specialist. Full nutritional information — including exact sodium, potassium and fibre — is available on every individual meal page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much sodium is in your low salt meals?

Every meal on this page contains under 600mg of sodium per serve. The exact figure is listed under the Nutritional Information tab on each meal page. Three Dietlicious low sodium meals per day typically keeps your total daily intake well under the recommended 2,000mg.

What is the DASH diet and are your meals DASH diet friendly?

The DASH diet Australia (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is the most GP-recommended eating plan for blood pressure management. It emphasises low sodium, high potassium, lean protein, whole grains and plenty of vegetables. Our low sodium meals are naturally DASH-aligned: Heart Salt reduces sodium by 56%, and every meal is built around vegetables, lean protein and whole-food ingredients with no artificial additives.

Are your meals suitable for kidney disease?

Our low sodium meals are appropriate for many people in the early-to-moderate stages of chronic kidney disease who have been advised to reduce sodium. However, people with advanced kidney disease may also need to restrict potassium and phosphorus. We strongly recommend checking with your nephrologist or renal dietitian before ordering so they can advise which meals suit your specific dietary prescription.

Are your meals suitable for heart failure or stroke recovery?

Yes — our low sodium meals are commonly ordered by people managing heart failure or recovering from a stroke. Most heart failure dietary guidelines recommend staying under 1,500–2,000mg of sodium per day; three of our low sodium meals typically keeps you comfortably within that range. Always follow the specific guidance of your cardiologist or dietitian.

What is Heart Salt and why do you use it?

Heart Salt is an Australian potassium-enriched salt containing 56% less sodium than regular salt. We are the first ready-meal provider in Australia to switch our entire range to Heart Salt — a decision backed by The George Institute for Global Health's #SwitchTheSalt campaign. It delivers the same great taste as regular salt, which is why 97% of our customers rate our low sodium meals 4 or 5 out of 5 for flavour.

What is the difference between low salt and low sodium?

Salt is sodium chloride — a compound of sodium and chloride. 'Low salt' and 'low sodium' are often used interchangeably, but it is specifically the sodium component that affects blood pressure and fluid balance. In Australia, 'low sodium' is defined as under 120mg per 100g. Our meals are under 600mg per serve and we display exact sodium figures on every meal page so you can monitor your intake precisely.

Where do you deliver low sodium meals?

We deliver across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and surrounding areas. Enter your postcode at checkout to confirm delivery to your address. Meals are delivered flash-frozen in insulated, eco-friendly packaging to preserve freshness and nutritional value.

Do I need a subscription?

No — there is no subscription or lock-in contract. Order as frequently or infrequently as suits you. Many customers order weekly as part of their ongoing dietary management; others order during recovery periods or when cooking becomes difficult.

Can I see the full nutritional information before ordering?

Yes — calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibre and sodium are all listed on every individual meal page under the Nutritional Information tab. This information can be shared with your GP, dietitian or specialist.
