Unhealthy Plant Based Diets and Chronic Kidney Disease

Let's delve into a topic that's crucial yet often overlooked: the impact of unhealthy plant-based diets on kidney disease. While the benefits of plant-based diets are well-known, it's important to recognize that not all plant-based choices are beneficial.

So happy to see you are doing these 30 minute webinars. They are extremely helpful. And I really enjoy being able to focus on just one presenter. Don’t get me wrong, I love Michelle, but it personally works better for me when I can listen to a nephrologist uninterrupted. I’m getting valuable information on one specific topic for 30 minutes , without the bouncing back and forth between nephrology and renal diet. Your other videos with Michelle are also very valuable , and she is an excellent renal dietician, but I’m also glad you are offering 30 minutes of uninterrupted information strictly on kidney health and the do’s and don’t’s. And I also love how you break down the science of how the kidney works. The mechanics of kidney function in relation to food intake, etc. This is what I want to know. Lastly, you explain the information very well, so that non- medical professionals can understand it. Thank you, doctor. I just came across this video today, Friday, which means that this video was done last Friday and there will be another tonight! Yay! I’m in Ohio, so I think it will be 8 pm my time. Looking forward to it!!! I hope you keep these 30 minute webinars going. Thank you for sacrificing your time.

[@semaaral2498]

Totally agree with you. Also very informative & valuable for me as well. Can't thank you more👏👏👏 Who is Micheal pls? French young lady, I think I know her. Thank you. My husband is stage 3 or 4.

Through plant based diet, exercise, and meds, got my blood pressure under control and made my symptoms go away. Make changes and be smart about it and you will see improvements in your numbers like I did. It will always be in your mind but flip your mindset to use that to push yourself and you'll eventually feel much better about your direction.

[@achillesmd2471]

I appreciate how you empower us healthworkers and patients in utilizing food as medicine. Question: How about patients with kidney stones but without kidney disease, can you give them nuts / soy since it is high in uric acid / oxalates. Do you have alternative as sources of protein, considering the patients are not ckd/esrd. Another Question: In CKD patient with stones, how do you manage fluid intake? Thanks alot doc!

[@SELFPrinciple]

Everything is a balance. If you do a 24-hour urine test, you can see where the opportunities for improvement are. The big thing with kidney stones is hydration, hydration and more hydration. Specifically, aiming for 3Liters of water/day. The rest we base on actual results to decide what to limit instead of just a blanket no.

[@jgreen9361]

A little fresh lemon juice can reverse early stage kidney stones. I was given this advice from a nurse practitioner, and it worked, symptoms went after about 3 weeks. You don’t need much, half a lemon squeezed on my salad 3 or 4 times a week and a glass of water with each main meal did the trick for me.

Thanks so much great info

[@glologan7056]

Hello Dr. Hashmi. I came upon your webinars by chance. After this evening's session, a 4 yr old lecture on plant based diet started playing and I watched it through. Within the lecture, you were talking about how everyone is obsessed about protein and you talked about the secretion of albumin as a result of eating protein, emphasizing that protein is not as important as people think. In another webinar, you spoke about muscle and bone density loss resulting from weight loss (especially fast weight loss). My question is, what nutrients are important to recover muscle not only during weight loss not during weight training? I'm confused about that. Even my doctor thinks it's all about protein. Thanks.

[@glologan7056]

Correction: resulting from weight loss but also during weight training...

Dr. Hashmi you are amazing! I have learned SO much from you...I'm a stage 2-CKD, no protein spilling so far, all my GP doctor EVER said was watch your NSAIDS , :( not a peep about diet/exercise nada. Anyway as to fermented plant based...I started buying an Organic Sauerkraut at your favorite store Costco. :) Label says I believe..two tablespoons would have 260mgs of sodium. Am I doing myself a favor by having 1-2 tablespoons a day, or is that amount of sodium going to cancel out any benefits from the sauerkraut? Thank you.

[@imviiku]

You never had protein spilling ever or you stopped it ?

[@randallk204]

@@imviiku Hi, No, so far never had any protein spilling. Only had 4 lab tests however in two years so far, but so far so good. Guess I got diagnosed with stage 2 as my Egfr was 62..Only once was Creatinine a tad high. I posted my question here as I have read fermented foods like an Organic sauerkraut is very healthy. I wasn't sure however if it's just too much sodium 260mgs about, vs any benefits in just a tablespoon or two... Hoping Dr Hashmi can answer this. Best to you...

[@imviiku]

@@randallk204 You're lucky . I was diagnosed with Protein spilling itself. My eGFR is 120 but with Protein Spilling it'll probably lower quickly

[@randallk204]

Yikes Vivek, I dunno. I'm sure no Dr. 120 seems a fantastic egfr number like if you were a young kid. I have no idea how you could be spilling protein at that number?. Anyway obviously best your Dr works with you...and just MAYBE if it was just one test it was an error. I HATE tests but there can be errors..so hoping on a followup you won't see protein again. Good luck I only know CKD sucks to use a nice word...best I can do for me is try to eat better, I walk 2 times a day like maniac about 3 miles a day brisk, try to keep my BP under 130 and now watching sugar as to what I eat carbs, and snacks...what a pain! :)

I have MCD and have just gone through the Prednisone treatment. The proteinuria is reduced by 70% but not gone. My kidneys are (still) in good condition and all b lood work is relatively ok. I eat almost exclusively vegetarian and have for years,. I walk every day (weather permitting), I do not eat meat but eat fish, once a week my Sunday boiled egg, some cheese and I drink coffee, 2 cups a day with milk. How do I get rid of this MCD? The nephrologist frightened me, saying I may have to take even stronger medications and, until I got this, I took no medications at all. I am 80 years of age and have never been sick before - I have not even had the flu!.

I've been on keto 3 times and it gave me high cholesterol and protein in the urine all 3 times. Be careful people with your large consumption of MEAT!! Did I lose weight on keto? Yes, but my organs suffered. If you are able to, figure out what is right/feels right for you. Since I never liked eating meat - I stopped and went plant based and didn't listen to every rule in the book, I did ME, I've got 5 more pounds to go for my 40 pound weight loss, but I want to lose an additional 5 pounds. I don't eat meat, fish, dairy and limit sodium, phosphorous and potassium and sugar intake. This will help your kidneys if you are being challenged with this as I am with stage 2. I've changed everything up and I am doing great and want ALL of you to do great also! Sometimes you have to let your beloved habits go if you want to get better. Yes, I get frustrated, angry and even cry because I am dealing with other health issues that are frustrating and have been going on for 2 years now.

Hi doctor, thank you as always for your advice.

[@secretariatgirl4249]

I am on a very low protein diet...high carb (60-70%) but lower fat...I do eat a few "white carbs" offset, however, by whole grains, esp. limited processed grains like oats and Wasa rye crispbread. I actually walked around my kitchen and computed the ratio of cars:fiber and marked all packages of grains! But, I need calories, so I do use bean threads every day...with the greens I grow in my garden. Overall, stable since 2009, lost weight, BMI 18, no CRP (so low not in range)...I eat NO meat, fish, eggs, nuts, dairy, and very limited legumes...string beans OK, and can deal with some chickpeas/hummus as amino acid compostion is lower than kidney beans, for example. I use pharm grade amino acids and my kidney doctor finally gets what I am doing and am telling people to eat less meat. It's a step in the right direction, I guess! The Walser book got me started and I have since worked out my own eating pattern and use Cronometer to track everything I ingest. (since 2009...can compare my blood tests to various eating periods!)

[@SELFPrinciple]

Yes, if you drink a lot of water before the test, it will dilute the blood test and make it seem like eGFR is better than it actually is

[@ambizytl]

@@SELFPrinciple Well, if that's the case, then not drinking enough water before the test would give a false lower eGFR. You could wake up in a warm room, perhaps perspired a bit, urinate, and maybe your body has lost some water and needs more water! Also, how come the National Kidney Foundation doesn't say not to drink too much water before the test? From the National Kidney Foundation: "Ask your health care professional if there are any special instructions to follow. You may need to avoid eating or drinking anything (except water) for several hours before the test. You may also be asked not to eat any cooked meat the night before the test. It can increase the level of creatinine in your blood and affect your eGFR results."

@@SELFPrinciple Aside from my earlier reply, a vague answer like too much is not very helpful. Be specific, how much is too much? 2 glasses, 3 glasses, 4 glasses? I should hope it is more than one glass! Anyway, one may also have to take into account how much water is lost via perspiration, stress, and urination. signed, ambizytl M.D. (retired mystical detective).

[@ambizytl]

@@SELFPrinciple Aside from my other replies, this may be the "clincher": James Tattersall Former kidney doctor at National Health Service (NHS) (1980-2021)Author has 456 answers and 871K answer views4y "If GFR is low due to dehydration, drinking more water would increase the GFR. The kidneys need to produce at least approximately 1 litre of urine per day to excrete the urea generated by the body during the day. If you do not drink enough to replace this 1 litre plus any other losses (from skin, gut), you will become dehydrated and the kidneys will reduce GFR and urine output to conserve water. If your GFR is low due to kidney disease and you are not dehydrated, you cannot increase your GFR by drinking more water."

I must admit that I still had homemade mayo made with two eggs but it was only a tsp or two. I still followed a low carb diet. I sometimes had some brown rice not much. For years I had tumors in my kidneys and that went too, by going on the keto diet and prayers. Now I have chicken some days and now and then red meat. I keep my portion in control. I drink decaf coffee and tea. I eat nuts again keeping the portion in control. I have keto chocolate fudge sometimes but it's so good the way I make it that I am thinking of making it often.

THE BEST THIN I EVER DID FOR MYSELF. I HAD SO MUCH ENERGY - I thought I gre wings…. Then I quit meat, quit dairy and all of gluten/ wheat products, never looked back - 20 years ago.

I am not sure you understand the video. Its comparing a healthy vs unhealthy plant-based diet

[@hallujahtoGodipraiseujesus]

What would u call unhealthy plant base diet

[@van3363]

Avoid things high in sodium such as the plant based meat alternatives and chips, oreos ect. Eat whole foods plant based, rice, beans, legumes, fresh fruits and veggies. Avoid highly processed foods. And everything in moderation.

[@P55hlthy]

Eat food the way God created it and that's it. Not messed around with. Have a balance

One of the hardest parts of healthy food is bread. If you bake your own , look for organic wholemeal flour. There are also white stone ground bread flours that still contain the wheat germ and some of the fibre but it is difficult to find. There are 5 problems with a lot of commercial bread. 1 lack of fibre ( even brown bread often has no wheat germ and only a small amount of fibre has been added back in) 2 very finely milled down to tiny starch grains so the starch is released as sugar very quickly in the gut when you eat the bread 3 inorganic flour may contain glyphosate from grain conditioning prior to harvest. 4 very short cooking times, often by steaming and then browning the outside rather than proper baking 5 added chemical emulsifiers to make the bread very soft. You can buy inorganic good quality bread flour that is just as good as organically certified flour, it is often from smaller flour mills. Good quality flour has not been pre harvest conditioned, or treated with insecticide while the grain is in long storage, but there is no way of finding out this information for commercial bread.

I don't eat any plants or plant oils, only meat and animal fats. The proof that animal fats are healthier and chemically different to plant oils is that they get the heart logo because they lower cholesterol which is not a good thing if my body is making it. There is a reason why my body makes a certain amount of cholesterol and I don't think ingesting bad things to alter it is wise.

"This is my attempt to just be kind". My motive for going vegan was to stop animal suffering, 51 years ago. You're a very humble, empathetic doc! I've been healthy vegan + clean and sober too. Still welcome hints about best practice. Probably too much salt here.

Dr. Fuhrman recomends a small handful of nuts every day. I put nuts on my salad or on top steamed vegetables.

[@myoung48281]

Nobody in the plant based community says you shouldn't eat nuts, they all support them in a diet.

[@lw6323]

Not true, many in the plant based community say stay away from nuts and fat.

[@harminoffendl]

​@@lw6323this is true. For example, coconuts they stay away from because they are generally harvested by slave monkeys.thats why you might see them listed as "vegan coconuts"

[@Deva-no3dn]

Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Ornish have people not consume any nuts or seeds as well as oil.

[@KenGaskins-nm3gx]

McDougall and Peter Rogers definitely don't support nut consumption. They're also against all oils, salt and junky type carbs along with a lot of other stuff. Not sure if they should just be considered "Whole Foods Plant Based" though. Their diets are pretty extreme (not saying they are wrong or right here).

[@victorloya1590]

Yes ,you are right , for some people it will not only kill your kidneys but your joints, eyes and other organs , but for other people don't, why? , we don't know and doctors don't care, since there is no money involve in knowing or treating it.

SOURDOUGH bread is sugggested!! Ok???

[@eastwood1941]

Not convinced by this, as many plants are rich in oxalates, which are the basis of kidney stones and rheumatoid arthritis. Animal proteins are superior to plant proteins, as they are more immediately available to the body.

[@charlenehernandez8546]

One needs to study all foods they eat, reduce those with oxalates..

[@woodlakesound]

You need to break down long chains into individual amino acids so no, not quickly available. Also the body recycles amino acids up to 200 grams per day, so no worries about plant proteins being inferior. But the old theories are still quite popular, especially amongst carnivore enthusiasts.

[@cheriwilson8672]

Animal proteins are not healthier for high cholesterol and high blood pressure 🤦🏾‍♀️

What lunatic has ever said nuts are unhealthy … you’ve postulated a false position so you can disprove your own erroneous assumption. You could have just started this with “look how healthy nuts are”

[@ellenstephanus]

You could also have just kept your opinion to yourself. You don’t know everything, while Dr Hashmi dedicates his life to research and talks about this subject on daily basis.
