Foreword

Food should be enjoyable, but if you’ve been found to have chronic kidney disease it can be difficult to know which foods are best to choose that will still taste great.

Healthy eating is an important part of the treatment for chronic kidney disease, as controlling your weight, blood pressure and diabetes all help to protect your kidneys. You need a reliable and informative source of expert advice to help you with your food choices. Dietitians can provide you with up-to-date personal advice but it can be difficult to find additional recipes and information specifically designed for people with chronic kidney disease.

All three authors are experienced registered renal dietitians and are well placed to provide this information. Using their expertise, they have produced practical, easy to follow advice and plenty of tasty recipes.

As an experienced renal dietitian, I highly recommend this book to people with early chronic kidney disease. For those with more severe kidney problems, I also recommend their companion book, Eating Well with Kidney Failure.

This book shows you that food can be both healthy and enjoyable!
