Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide: A recipe, nutrition and meal planning guide to treat the factors driving the progression of incurable kidney disease

Rate this book
This renal and kidney diet guide is for kidney or renal patients who want to try to slow or stop the progression of incurable kidney disease. The chronic kidney disease diet and CKD recipes and eating plan in this book are based on the research in Stopping Kidney Disease, the highest rated book on kidney disease which has benefited hundreds of patients.

It's simple. We as patients want our kidneys to last as long as possible, and we want to live longer and better lives. We want a cure, but if we can't get a cure we want to slow the kidney disease progression to a snail's pace. That's what we want and deserve. The problem is today's kidney diets have nothing in common with our real goals.

Traditional and other current kidney diets focus on treating just three conditions as we all sodium, phosphorus, and potassium. However, most of us have many more comorbid conditions made worse by traditional kidney diets. We need to try and treat, cure or manage as many condi-tions as possible, not just three. You would never know you need treat other conditions or have other dietary options unless you get educated.

The Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide

How to treat as many factors as possible that are contributing to kidney disease progression Foods that are good for kidney patients Kidney disease or renal disease diet meal planning Chronic kidney disease or CKD diet information and restrictions The mathematics of slowing incurable kidney disease The first kidney disease diet book or renal disease guide book with acid load and antioxidant values Sample meal plans based on different cuisines A reference guide for the most common fruit and vegetables in grocery stores with information on potential renal acid load, protein, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, and antioxidant values(ORAC), nitrates polyphenols and AGE's for each meal And much more!

Partner of stage 5 kidney failure man

My husband is at end stage. If you have any % of kidney disease I cannot stress enough how much you need to alter your diet and lifestyle. I have for him and to preserve my health so I can care for him. Get both Lees books. Read and adhere to them. Dialysis is hell. Prevent it as long as you can. Drs didn’t give us the information we needed to help him, patched him up and sent him home for me to care for. This book is the most valuable information I have found thus far. Thank you to the author for sharing his education with us.

I don't want to rate this book yet, because I'm just starting to read about kidney disease (on behalf of a recently diagnosed relative), and I feel that I need more context before I can properly evaluate all of the author's claims. The author has provided many citations from the medical literature that should help with that.

Having said that, the recipes look easy, varied, and tasty, and I think this part of the book would be an invaluable resource for anyone needing to switch to a kidney-friendly diet.

SOLID IDEAS ON NUTRITION AND RECIPES FOR KIDNEY DISEASE

This is an excellent reference book for readers who are determined to gain control over their kidney disease. I loved the food labels author and health advocate Lee Hull designed. Very educational and entertaining (for food nerds anyway). I plan to add the modest selection of recipes to my go-to bowl of raw vegetable. A welcome addition!

A lot of info and a lot to learn

Lee Hull has written an informative book which helps explain the struggle kidney patients have with diet and lack of information from those who are supposed to be helping us. He writes in an easy-to-understand manner and is very encouraging to those who need help learning what doctors aren’t telling them. Lee is on your side. Read his books and become informed, if nothing else!

Very informative. The section on malnutrition was particularly illuminating. Protein recommended is 0.4 grams per kg of patient body weight (other sources list protein at 0.8 grams a day total for everyone, not factoring weight or anything), so this feels like the author understands not all humans have the exact same needs.
The pumpkin chilli recipe interests me the most.
