What are the best foods for kidney disease? Well, there's somewhat different than the foods that you

would need to prevent a kidney problem. If you were trying to prevent kidney disease, you would

consume the foods on my program, which is the healthy version of the ketogenic diet with intermittent

fasting, because that provides not just low carb, but high quality foods, since the cause of most

kidney problems stem from diabetes, insulin resistance, high sugar, high carb diets. But that being

we want to talk about what do you eat if you have a kidney problem? There are various stages

of kidney problems. You have stage one, two, three, four, and five, five being end stage, which means

you're usually on the list for dialysis, and it's irreversible. So I'm going to kind of split this

up into kind of the make break point of when you would start eating what I'm going to suggest.

And that would be stage three A through stage five. So if you're between a three and five,

then we're going to talk about what foods you should eat. And the kidney has a bunch of tiny

little filters called nephrons, and they're basically there to filter the blood. So when they

can't filter anymore because they're damaged, you start getting waste that backs up into the blood.

And you also have problems with these very specific nutrients. Phosphorus becomes too high,

potassium comes too high, sodium becomes too high, and then protein in general. So that's one

way to diagnose kidney problems is having protein in the urine. So let's first take a look at

protein. Okay, you need to lower your protein a little bit. Okay, but of course keep the quality

there as well, which I'll talk about. So how much protein would you really need? A normal amount

of protein. Let's say for myself, I weigh about 185 pounds, I would need to apply this one formula.

And this is kind of really a rough estimate like 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram. And what that

really comes out to is about 65 grams of protein per day. That's kind of what I need right now.

But if the kidney becomes a problem, you can't handle that much protein. So you have to lower it
