Living with CKD

Living with CKD. My kidneys don’t tolerate animal protein anymore, so I am on a Whole Plant Based Diet. It’s basically vegan with the cavate that I can’t eat commercially refined foods, like all-purpose flour, it has to be the whole wheat berries milled into flour, nothing removed or taken away but water. I also refrain from most oils; they are also refined. For the most part I don’t add extra fats to my meals.

I also try to follow Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen. For the bean category I generally use all soybeans because I also am old and have sarcopenia, meaning I am losing muscle. Soy is high in complete proteins and can take the place of meat without adding protein powders.
