[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 487684, member: 84"] I survive on using more fresh fruit and veggies too. V8 juices are a huge help as well, and I go for the diet and low salt kind. (it's the only diet drink I do and it tastes good) The v8 is popular coupon wise, which is nice too and stores much better than fresh. The two books my doctor had me run out and get are called: The One-Dish Vegetarian-100 recipes for quick and easy vegetarian meals by Maria Robbins (my biggest complain is they go a tad heavy on spices, but I've learned they're good even if you don't use as much which I don't) 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains by Andrea Chesman - this one is great because it tells you absolutely everything you want or need to know about them including recipes. These are both heart healthy, diabetic healthy, and renal healthy books. And yeah, they lean heavily toward vegetarian but I'm supposed to avoid animal protein completely (not happening) as it's harder on the kidneys than plant proteins which are still restricted for me. They give you proper portions, nutrient value and calorie count. I use them as a guideline. I can't cut out animal protein completely. I might as well cut my wrists. And I don't see the logic when once I do start dialysis I have to switch from a low protein diet to a very high protein diet. So when I'm "strictly" following the diet I'm cooking this way probably 4 days of the week as a full meal, the other 3 days I'm still watching it but will have meat. (and a person does need meat protein or you have to take all sorts of supplements) One of those 2 books has a recipe for sweet onions and pasta that is to literally die for. It was so good I ate it for 4 days in a row because I had to make enough for 4 people and no one else wanted to try it. It had wine and heavy cream included. I was like really? lol I am soooo hunting down that recipe and buying the ingredients for it again and making some up. I couldn't believe past and sweet onions was going to be good and filling but it certainly was! :) It was a bit expensive to make, but the wine keeps for a long time so you could make it again and again. lol For a long time my breakfast consisted of 2 boiled eggs and a slice of toast with either one fresh fruit or an 8 oz glass of v8 fruit jc......if I knew I'd eat lunch that was cut to 1 egg and I'd repeat it for lunch unless I had fixings for a salad or something else.
