Renal Diet Cookbook for the Newly Diagnosed: The Complete Guide to Managing Kidney Disease and Avoiding Dialysis

Renal Diet Cookbook for the Newly Diagnosed: The Complete Guide To Managing Kidney Disease... is a mouthful for a title but also it is a refreshing, easy read, easy to understand book! From explaining what chronic kidney disease is in lay terms that a ten year old could understand, to listing possible best foods to eat, giving reproducible menu charts, easy recipes that anyone can do, etc.. The author explains how to prevent, slow down, or manage kidney disease. This reader feels Renal Diet Cookbook is a must read for any one over 60.

It gave it 5 stars for the information you receive in this book. Wonderful, useful, easily understood information for someone newly diagnosed with kidney disease. The author states 100 delicious recipes. At this point I’ve only tried 2. The cooked bulgar and strawberries is very good. I had never eaten cooked bulgar but I really like it. But, on the other hand, the Chicken Pho was not good. The first night I could barely get a fourth of my bowl down me. Tried again the next day and ate the rest of that bowl. But sorry to say. Within a few days the rest saw the trash. As I stated, these are the only two I’ve tried so far. I’ll keep trying out new ones. I love that they are quick and easy. The knowledge you get from the book is excellent.

Useful recipes and information.

I made the pesto pasta and the baked herbed - bone-in, skin-on - chicken thigh recipe for a friend. I put it in individual serving size containers and told her the pages the recipes were on so she could track it according to her Kidney dietician’s dietary plan. She loved both recipes and was still able to use a bit of seasoning to keep it in her dietary plan. Highly recommend this book!

I thought this cookbook had sone good recipes. They include all the nutritional facts and have meal plan ideas. They also must have improved the index as a previous reviewer mentioned they only listed carrots twice in the back but as I showed in my photo that’s better now. Improvements would be add more photos. I can never understand why recipe books don’t have the majority of their recipes showing the photo of it made. Most people want to see it before making it. Also, there are a lot of carbs in these meals. I’m trying to do a lower carb to manage insulin spikes and realize it can’t be no carb but maybe a section just on lower carb alternatives would be good. Debating whether to return it or keep it.

Got for a friend and she loves it helps her every day

Loved this book. The author explained what CKD and how to manage it very well. A added bonus was the kidney friendly recipes included in the book.

My wife has kidney failure so she was fight with what to eat that fits her diet. Everything that fit the diet was plain. The first thing she tried was the pork loin. She loved it and it was easy to make. I am glad I bought it for her. It has been one of our favorite cookbooks.

Was so disappointed in this book, the recipes are not easy to follow

Excellent advice and lots of excellent recipe ideas to help make the transition to a renal diet less traumatic.

Well organized topics and meals. Everything you need to know and should have on hand is listed. Good to have shopping list for the week menus. It helps to learn what to look for. I am sure I'll be able to adjust the recipe according to my need and preferences, once I become familiar with calculating the amounts of critical nutrient levels and food I am allowed.

I’ve only made a couple of the recipes to date but oh my gosh they were delicious. My daughter loves the Asian chicken recipe and was surprised it was for her father who has renal issues. Thank you so much for this book.

It's not paperback, it a regular print-out!
