I cant handle those 'new' milks... LOL. I grew up on real, unpasteurized co's milk from our milk cows, and it was a rough transition to go to 2% later in life. I l7mit myself to 1/2 cup or so on my a.m. cereal, and about 6 oz w supper. I also eat low-fat cottage cheese, and no-sugar yogurt. I love cheese, but lotsa cholesterol there, so I try to limit myself and tend more toward the white cheeses like provolone and mozzarella in limited amounts. To be frank, my biggest challenge is being aware of how much Potassium and Phosphorus is in fruits and veggies. Was a big disappointment to discover that oranges, avocados, tomatoes needed to be limited. Its a work in progress. And I am not giving up my once or twice a year huckleberry cheesecake! Just, without sugar. I use monkfruit when I bake. I have no diabetic issues, but I don't want them either!🙃

@gangcarotid1 so good to hear, I too read labels. For the past 5 months my main focus is on fruits, love the mini watermelons, I cut it all up, store in Tupperware so it's easy to grab for lunch and dinner along with a green salad, my fav now is chopped romaine mixed with arugula, cucumbers, green onions, red pepper olive oil and rice vinegar topped with sunflower seeds. Yum! Happy eating. My taste buds have adjusted over time, I look forward to fresh foods more. In Dec my egfr was 44 creatine 1.25 high. After hydrating and eating fresh egfr 60 creatine 1.02. Very happy about this. This is my new healthy lifestyle. It's good! Actually it's great!

@gangcarotid1 I understand the milk thing being raised on fresh farm. I'm not a milk drinker per day but if I can get close to 500mg in 8 ozs. An easy one. Lot fat cottage cheese I like. Mozzarella too. That is disappointing to have to watch fruits and veggies, geez ... Would you know of a reliable source to get those ingredients on f & v on the internet? I agree I limit my processed sugar. I have hypoglycemia, when it's low I start my meal with watermelon or a bite of apple to raise it then continue to a lean protein and salad and veggie meal.
