Plant-Fed Kidneys: The Diet to Slow Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease Paperback

This book was recommended by a kidney dietician, and is full of good information. I had questions about supplementation when you are vegan and have kidney disease, which were answered by this book. Very helpful.

Great information for those of us with kidney failureThis book is easy to understand and provides with useful information. I am a stage four kidney disease And this information has been so helpful to me.

This book makes a strong case for eating a plant based diet if you have chronic kidney disease.On the plus side, it is much easier and quicker to read than "Stopping Kidney Disease" by Lee Hull. It includes success stories of people in various situations which can inspire hope.On the minus side, it is nowhere near as comprehensive as Lee Hull's book, neither in discussing all the different aspects of kidney disease or in its detailed references to research.At the time of writing, the NHS and the UK kidney charities are still preaching a balanced diet including animal products like meat, fish and diary products.This confuses me. If the case is so strong, why isn't there more consistent advice. Do these vegan based books distort the evidence and cherry pick case studies?My GFR has improved from 37 to 50 while I've still been eating animal products. I have lost a significant amount of weight (from obese to normal) and I am eating a salad every lunchtime so my vegetable consumption has increased.Both books have convinced me to start reducing my animal based diet gradually so that I can see what happens to my blood analysis.

Great infirmation

I learned a lot about why a plant based diet works but I would have like to have some meal suggestions, recipes, etc.
