No salt from an "old salt"

As a specialist obstetrician & gynæcologist, over the years I had to restrict many of my antenatal patients' dietary salt intake when their weight gains were excessive and they were gaining more than the WHO recommended limits for single pregnancies (13kg-2 stones). I often recommended this book as it was a cut above the usual, boring diet sheets and booklets which were available. The women's weight gain was kept within reasonable limits which then fell off them post-partum, and I enjoyed a very low hypertensive complication rate as a result. I am now retired and suddenly about a month ago I became ill due to a condition which dictates a salt-free diet (not even a no-added salt diet). So the first thing I did was order a copy for myself to practise what I preached! It is full of imaginative alternatives to bombard the taste buds and and render the food far from boring.
