Confused by all the conflicting CKD diet advice? Here’s what you really need to know

December 30, 20242 min read

Eat this, don’t eat that. Go vegan, don’t go vegan. I mean, can we just get some clarity here?? It's overwhelming!

With CKD, it can feel like every new piece of advice online cancels out the last one. One source says, “Enjoy whole grains,” while another warns you to avoid them, and suddenly you’re left wondering if anything is safe to eat. You’re starving and want the answers right now so you can eat something.

I get it. I’ve been there.

It’s exhausting, overwhelming, and honestly, it starts p**sing you off. You want to scream at the professionals you feel should be helping you, but… they aren’t, are they?

Yeah, they didn’t help us either.

The truth about conflicting information is simple. It’s all based on omitted information and their belief in your inability to manage your diet.

And let’s be honest, sometimes it’s just bad advice they are handing out!

Here’s the deal—it's easier for them to just say "Don’t eat that" than to show you how to make it work for your specific needs. 🤥

Can you have those foods they told you not to? Yes. Do you have to go vegan? NO. Only if you want to.

Look, it’s not a simple one-page blog post telling you HOW to fit those foods into your CKD diet; it’s a process that you need to be shown how to do.

>So, they don’t bother<

Here’s the kicker! Every site will pick and choose what they think is safe enough for your kidneys.

 👶Aaaand conflicting information is born.⚔️

Let’s face it, you were set up to fail.

Because this isn’t a casual thing—we’re talking about managing a serious condition.

You need to be shown how to manage your diet. And that’s exactly what the CKD Nutrition Program is here for.

Forget the conflicting info—it’s bad news. It’s time to finally get the truth, step by step, on how to care for your kidneys for life.

So, the real question is, are you ready to learn?
