Relying solely on recipes for CKD eating can be risky!

🚫 Relying solely on recipes for CKD eating can be risky!

"Kidney-Friendly" Recipes are unlikely to match your specific nutritional needs, and you may not even be aware of it.

Lemme explain.

Let’s say you are in stage 4; someone else is in stage 2.

You’re both using that kidney-friendly recipe,

Who’s damaging their kidneys?

Both.

Stage 2 is under-consuming nutrients; stage 4 is over-consuming those nutrients.

Do you see how those recipes aren’t going to work for everyone?

 

Recipes are more like guidelines that must be adjusted to fit your needs and ensure you are maximizing your nutrition.

If you are limiting nutrients, we want to make sure you are maximizing them each day.

 

Look, most recipes are set to the largest group, stage 3.

BUT we have upper and lower stage 3 (see the pic below).

Which means that the recipe may not fit your needs either!

Those of you in stage 3 are likely playing a risky game by relying on those recipes, too.

Lower stage 3b cannot eat the same as upper stage 3a.🎲

See how this is one of the top traps people instantly fall into.☠️

This mismatch can lead to progression ⚰️or other health problems. Without careful and accurate consideration of your restrictions, you might inadvertently worsen your condition. It's a common issue that I see happening all the freaking time.

Those (and there are many) that have fallen into this trap finally come to me, beaten, confused, and scared as hell cos they thought they were doing things right and found they weren’t.😥

  • Over consuming those nutrients is going to cause progression.

  • Under consuming those nutrients is going to lead to other health issues.

Those “kidney-friendly” recipes will ONLY work for you if you make some adjustments to them, so they provide you with the right amount of nutrients that YOU need.

Think of those recipes as suggestions; they are not something to rely on.

Each person's kidney health is unique, and blindly following recipes is a great risk to take.

That's why my approach goes beyond recipes. I teach you to understand your dietary restrictions and create meals that are not only safe for your kidneys but also tasty and enjoyable. 🍲 Learn to tailor your meals for optimal safety, health and flavor!
