Tongol Tuna, September 25, 2010
This review is from: Crown Prince Natural Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water (No Salt Added), 6-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
There is tuna and then there is Tongal Tuna. I was introduced to this type of tuna by my fitness coach. I was in training for my 1st bodybuilding competition at the ripe age of 67. This product not only has great taste but is low in sodium and high in protein. I would highly recommend this product, and especially the auto ship option, to anyone. Ca

Good Tongol in SPRING Water, September 15, 2011
This review is from: Crown Prince Natural Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water (No Salt Added), 6-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
This tuna is packed in 'Spring Water' which is much better and much harder to find in stores than just 'water' which has all the added chemicals and flouride you get from the tap soaked into the Tuna. I refuse to drink tap water in soups, in tuna, in juices with added water and everything else. Even "Whole Foods Market" doesn't carry Tuna in spring water anymore, they just discontinued their Tongol in spring water, which figures since they're a bunch of overpriced scam artists. I went to all the supermarkets in my area and couldn't find any Tuna in spring-water, only oil and tap-water.
Tuna is great for a high-protein diet because if you have the right recipe you can always eat it WITHOUT BREAD and it's almost always the best value for the money. With a high-protein / low carb diet you can just by that discipline alone maintain your ideal weight without hardly any exercise at all, although with exercise, especially about 30 minutes of cardiovascular aerobics, you will become healthier and better toned. Here's what I do: '
What I do is get Trader Joe's Mayo because it has no sugar added and I don't eat any sugar (most mayo has sugar added), especially refined sugar. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup is what poisons most food and turns into junk. 80 to 90% of the foods you buy in a standard supermarket will have some form of added sugar in it. Then I get some cans of "Embasa Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce." This also has no added sugar and costs only about $1.18 per 7 ounce can in my corner supermarket. This same exact brand of Chipotle sells for 2.67 at Whole Foods Market, just to show what a rip-off Whole Foods Market is. Mix the mayo with two or three wet Chipotle peppers in a cup and then add the can of tuna and mix and shred it with a fork into the mayo and Chipotle peppers. Once it's all mixed well you already have the spiciest and best tasting tuna you ever ate. In fact, you will prefer it to most other meals. To add a bit of tasty healthy crunchiness I mix in some Trader Joe's Golden Roasted Flax Seeds. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of Hemp Protein for supercharging. If the tuna mix is a bit dry you can always add some pickles or chopped onion. I prefer to eat a few chopped pickled jalapenos with it which really kicks up the spiciness another notch.

No added salt - NONE - now thats LOW Sodium!, August 8, 2011
This review is from: Crown Prince Natural Chunk Light Tongol Tuna in Spring Water (No Salt Added), 6-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Look at other so called "low sodium" canned tuna and compare them to this, because it has NO added salt. You will be pleased with the fresh, light flavor, AND these are 6 ounce cans, not 4.5 oz or 5 oz, like most others. At $1.67 per can on subscribe & save, you can afford to stock up! To compare:
StarKist Tuna Chunk Light Low Sodium In Water, 4.5000-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) or
Chicken of the Sea Tuna Chunk White Water, 50% Low Sodium, 5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24).
