How are we supposed to eat egg whites? Throw away the yolk? These articles always amaze me. They think we’re stupid. Did they forget to add plenty of water? Wait, water is not a “food.”
Where’s the bacon?

Food is not medicine
No ice-cream or chocolate donuts or sausage pizza or fried chicken? I eat those regularly and my kidneys are working fine. I get a blood work done every 6 months which tests liver, kidney & pancreas functions.
I do not believe any such studies. Whom did they test?

Along with some good sauce and pasta
I’m not seeing peanut butter cups there.
Seriously, I’m pretty good with most of those.
The only way I can eat cauliflower is chopped up in a salad. I’ve tried it so many times, prepared in a myriad of ways, and the only way I can eat it is raw, finely chopped up in a salad.
As long as your kidneys haven’t already failed. Dark leafy greens and arugula are loaded with phosphorus. Very, very bad for dialysis patients.
I buy about 10 pounds of fresh cranberries this time of year and wash and freeze them. I cook a couple ounces with half an apple cut into small pieces. When mushy I cut the heat and add a couple ounces of Wyman’s frozen blueberries, a bit of wheat germ, flax meal, walnuts, and either yogurt or canned whip cream.

There’s different renal diets depending on what kind of chronic kidney disease you’re dealing with, but this one looks pretty typical.
Usually all of them are very low sodium, and no processed foods. Protein quantity is often restricted, especially animal based protein because it involves hyperfiltration which makes kidneys work harder.
Excellent post, but don’t forget drinking water.
