Fast & Easy Renal Diet Cookbook: Support Your Kidney Health with Simple, Tasty Low-Sodium & Low-Potassium Recipes | Manage CKD Progression, with 120 Easy-to-Make Recipes and a 28-Day Meal Plan
You’ve just been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)…and suddenly, every article, chart, and doctor seems to say something different.
You’re told to “watch your diet,” but what does that actually mean?
Which foods are safe — and which ones could make things worse?
I lead a community of over 13,000 people living with CKD, and nearly everyone starts in the same place — confused, frustrated, and afraid of making the wrong food choices.
That’s exactly why I created this to help you eat with clarity, confidence, and real flavor again.
With this book, you’ll discover a realistic, delicious approach to eating with CKD—without the fear, the hunger, or sacrificing flavor.

★ Why This Book Works When Others Don’tMost CKD cookbooks sound good in theory... until you actually try the recipes.
They’re too strict.
Too complicated.
And too often, the food tastes like cardboard.
This one’s different. It was built for real life.
For people who want to cook something simple, feel good about it, and actually enjoy eating again.
No strange ingredients. No hours in the kitchen. Just everyday meals that fit your kidneys and your lifestyle.
I’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t) after helping thousands of people in our CKD community — and everything in here comes from that experience.
Because eating with CKD should be clear, not confusing.
Comforting, not restrictive.
And definitely not boring.

Pour yourself a measured glass—this isn’t bourbon romance, but it is nourishment for anyone navigating life with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Henry Martin’s Fast & Easy Renal Diet Cookbook delivers exactly what its title promises: clarity, comfort, and kidney-friendly meals that won’t leave you feeling deprived.
What sets this cookbook apart is the heart behind it. Martin writes not as a distant professional, but as someone who’s been in the trenches—watching his own father struggle with bland “doctor-approved” meals. That personal connection infuses the book with empathy, warmth, and a real sense of we’re in this together.
What Works Well:
🥃 Accessibility – The medical jargon is stripped down into plain language. Terms like eGFR, sodium, phosphorus, and potassium are explained without overwhelm.
🥃 Recipes That Respect Time & Taste – 120 dishes designed to be quick, simple, and flavorful. From “Maple-Apple Oatmeal Bowls” to “One-Pot Lemon Chicken with Rice and Zucchini,” the meals prove kidney care doesn’t equal kitchen punishment.
🥃 28-Day Meal Plan – For readers who want more than recipes, Martin lays out a full month of menus, shopping lists, and smart meal repetition to reduce stress (and grocery bills).
🥃 Community Feel – This isn’t just a cookbook; it’s a companion. Martin invites readers into a supportive Facebook group, offering encouragement and real-life advice.
A Gentle Critique:
If you’re looking for gourmet-style culinary adventures, this isn’t that book. The strength here is simplicity, not sophistication. Some might find the recipes a bit too basic—but for those overwhelmed by dietary restrictions, that’s exactly the point.
Final Pour: Fast & Easy Renal Diet Cookbook is part instruction manual, part lifeline. It balances science with soul, giving readers both practical tools and emotional reassurance. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or a caregiver searching for answers, this guide makes the renal diet less of a burden and more of a sustainable way forward.

I loved the chapter headings, the lists of foods to eat, limit, avoid. I thought it was well organized with good information for those new to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and a good refresher for others. Recipes had good variety and seemed easy to prepare. The presentation of the recipes and photos made them easy to read and follow. Four weekly shopping lists came with the sample 28-day meal plan. Excellent book!
