Are you tired of all the food restrictions and nutritional advice for kidney disease patients?
Do you sometimes wish it were easier to make decent food for yourself? Do you feel frustrated by having to carefully plan your meals every day? If so, this is the cookbook for you.
The renal diet is a modified version of the typical ADA diet. The renal diet is tailored to meet the needs of people with kidney disease, who may have trouble eating certain foods. It does not need to be followed by people without kidney disease.
Renal diets are designed to help patients control problems that are more prevalent in those with kidney disease, such as high blood pressure and protein loss in urine. These diets do not have any restrictions on sodium or potassium intake, but they do restrict phosphorus intake to between 800 - 1200mg/day, which most Americans consume too much of anyway.
The renal diet is not a perfect solution and it is not thought to be the best way to manage kidney disease, but it can help people manage their symptoms.
As with all dietary advice, it is important that you obtain advice from your doctor or dietitian before starting a renal diet.
The main tenet of the diet is to limit the amount of phosphorus (a nutrient) in your diet while keeping your fluid and sodium intakes at a healthy level (your doctor will advise you on these). Everyone has different requirements for sodium and fluid intake, but as a rough guide:
This book covers:
- Breakfast, Juices And Smoothies
- Appetizers And Snacks
- Meat And Poultry
- Fish And Seafood
- Salads
- Vegetables
- Soups And Stews
- Desserts
- 28-Day Meal Plan
And much more!
As you can see, following a renal diet requires careful monitoring of how much fluid and sodium you consume. It also requires that you eat foods that contain very little phosphorus. Reducing your sodium intake may also help control swelling in the feet, legs or hands.
