This is a good topic for all of us dealing with the many forms of heart failure. I tend to buy less processed foods now. When I crave a roast beef sandwich, I cook a small roast in the crockpot (to ensure it will be tender) rather than going to a restaurant for beef (or worse yet) visiting a deli and buying roast beef for sandwiches. The great thing about the crockpot is that you can add veggies and get more nutrients than you would if you went out to eat.
