Eat lots of fruit and veggies. Avoid canned foods. Avoid fast food. AVOID table salt! Can eat about any meat still, especially grilling meat, just be careful what you season it with. Use sodium free seasonings, like Mrs. Dash, etc. Use salt substitute for flavoring.
Also, if you're going out to eat, check nutritional content ahead of time. MOST (not all) places post menu nutritional info on-line so you can plan meal accordingly.
It's actually not that bad. Been on a low sodium diet (Less than 1500mg daily) for almost a year. Sucked at first, but after about 6 months got used to it and know what I can and can't eat now.
