don't waste your money by M. K. Foley (Prospect Heights, IL USA)  1 Stars
September 18, 2005
If you are a renal patient, don't get this book. You'll be dissapointed. It is really a workbook for patients to use with a dietician, to help the dietician map out their patients needs. It's not something to use on your own. It doesn't give any of the values you need to know in regards to potassium, phosphorus, sodium and protein levels etc., and the list of foods given is very limited.
If you are looking for diet guidelines and explainations in every day language, go to [...] the National Kidney Foundation site for much more helpful information. Also, the USDA nutritional database has a wealth of nutritional info in table format, ALL the stuff you need in a nutritional list. They even have a whole database in excel format you can download and manipulate for you own use, all for free.
I bought this book along with the dieticians renal guide in hopes of understanding more about what I need to do diet wise and got little help. This is best used when you see your dietician and for the cost, only if your dietician requests you to get it.
8/25/06 Recently I found software is available that will track all this for me. I purchased Diet Pro, which was easy to customize to my needs. It uses the same nutrition tables the dieticians use (USDA)and has made my life much easier! It will take food amounts by weight or volume and show you your daily nutrition intake. I can also put in recipes and get a nutrional breakdown per serving, and save the recipes in a file. I no longer spend hours calculating my daily nutrition. There are other programs out there too. Diet Pro was the least expensive.
