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

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.

**★★★★★**
*Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide* is a thoughtful and practical resource for anyone looking to better understand the connection between food, nutrition, and kidney health. What I appreciate most is that it goes beyond simply presenting recipes and takes a broader approach to meal planning and everyday food choices.
The recipes make the nutritional concepts feel much more approachable. Instead of leaving readers with complicated information, the book provides ideas that can be incorporated into ordinary meals and routines. The meal-planning focus is especially useful because having a clear structure can make dietary changes feel much less overwhelming.
I also enjoyed the emphasis on making food both nourishing and enjoyable. A health-conscious approach does not have to mean giving up flavor or variety, and this book offers plenty of inspiration for creating satisfying meals while being more mindful of nutrition.
Another strength is the way the book encourages readers to become more informed about their food choices. The combination of recipes, nutrition guidance, and planning ideas gives it a practical quality that makes it useful beyond the kitchen.
Overall, this is an informative and encouraging cookbook-style guide for readers who want to take a more intentional approach to eating while managing kidney-related dietary concerns. It offers practical ideas, helpful organization, and plenty of inspiration for building a more thoughtful meal routine. A valuable addition to the kitchen shelf for anyone interested in kidney-conscious cooking and better-informed food choices.

This book is a useful and thoughtfully organized resource for anyone looking to better understand kidney-conscious nutrition and meal planning. I particularly liked the combination of recipes, nutritional information, and practical guidance, which makes the content feel more useful than a cookbook alone. The meal-planning approach is helpful for creating more consistent eating habits without making the process unnecessarily complicated. The recipes also provide good variety and inspiration for everyday meals. Overall, this is an informative and practical guide that presents nutrition and meal planning in an accessible way and can be a valuable addition to a kidney-focused cookbook collection.

December 27, 2022I 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.

A thoughtful and practical food guide that brings together recipes, nutrition information, and meal-planning ideas in an accessible format. Stopping Kidney Disease Food Guide does a great job of showing how food choices can be an important part of managing a kidney-conscious lifestyle.
I especially appreciated the organization and the emphasis on practical meal ideas rather than simply providing nutritional information. The recipes and planning guidance make the book feel useful for everyday cooking and give readers plenty of inspiration for preparing satisfying meals.

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.
