Hi RightSide, its good to let your self go now and again. There must be some thing that you really would like to eat.

Where I live, it's been so hot lately that if I'm going to treat myself to anything, it's extra fluid.

Dare i say.. Mikes always treating himself. Or should i say, eats whatever he wants.. within reason of corse 

Yep, Blokey too. 

 

What do you reakon he's worst with?
Mike is a bakery pie man. I often think *GAAH Sodium!* but his bloods are perfect & he's never overloaded. Must be my cooking then

My favorite food is steak.

But I'm allowed that on the renal diet anyway.

My unit does not schedule the blood tests ... so they can happen almost anytime.
But my diet is very "open" as my potassium is low.

Sneaky bastages.. *LOL*

you do have to have some fun sometime.  Even if you don't cheat on your diet, you shouldn't stop yourself from going out and doing stuff.

My unit does the bloods the first Monday and Tuesday of the month.  For August, I'm going away to Ottawa for a Michael Buble concert that weekend.  I could have some fun. *G*
When I go to NYC I usually try to get an ice cream that's not availible in Canada.  It's  Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream.  It was created for Stephen Colbert a few years ago and it is REALLY good.  That's probably my biggest treat, and I only get that once a year.

My wife started cooking all organic foods at home, and it seems that this allows me to pretty much eat what I want all the time.  She cooks with lots of heavy cream, cheese and butter for most of our meals; however, my labs are consistently good.  We usually have a cookout every week, where I do barbecue chicken, ribs, burgers and kielbasa sausage.  Of course, no cookout is complete without my patented baked beans.  The only problem that I've consistently had is keeping fluid intake under control.  Especially since my Dr. put me on Warfarin. 

Here's the secret:

1) No high fructose corn syrup whatsoever.  This poison doesn't just throw off your blood sugar: it totally screws up your metabolism.
2) Cook everything from scratch--preferably using organic ingredients.  This way, you have better control over what you're putting into your body.  You'll avoid all the MSG, phosphates and preservatives.

For example:  Although it's easier to cover your ribs and chicken with store-bought barbecue sauce, I make my own sauce. That way, there's no added salt or high fructose syrup.  Plus, it only takes a couple of minutes to make.

I'm not really on a "dialysis diet."  I'm just eating healthy.  My phosphorus and calcium levels are spot on, and my last albumin was 5, so my scam is working.  This is the "IHD Cheat Every Day UN-diet!"

how do you eat heavy cream, cheese, and butter every day and not have a high phosphorus level?

[Hubbs]
