@fromthehill Diets are a challenge, given the different things we need to be aware of for different conditions. I often tell people I can have apples, oatmeal, and cardboard! Never discount eating healthy, and feeling good. Following a sound renal diet kept my kidney function up for more than 10 years, and even though the doctors said there was no need to restrict myself the way I did, I did. It's a small price to pay for having some control over your health situation.

Moderate and comfortable exercise, along with a sound diet for your lifestyle, is definitely something to aim for. As kidney patients, we know all too well about how a little change can make a difference in how we feel. It's okay to splurge once in a while, but then get back on track. Once every couple of months I have a milkshake, child size. It is a treat or reward, but I know that later I am going to perhaps feel bloated. But it sure tastes good going down!

Connect is a great place to express yourself. So, no, you're not "grabbing" too much!
