Chronic Kidney Disease HEALTHY EATING

I think we should have some dietary guidelines for people with the different stages of renal failure who are trying to lose weight, but also eat properly for their particular CKD stage. I’d be willing to even pay additional for that benefit!
Maybe include a disclaimer that IT IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, but a guideline and should be ultimately reviewed by a renal dietitian or Dr. Thanks.

In this section of the Community, you're just mainly speaking to other MFP users like yourself, who have no power over the software or other official MFP content. All we can do is post here, like you.

The MFP staff doesn't read every post in the Community - not even close - so they're unlikely to even see your post.

If you want to suggest this as a feature for MFP to consider offering, post your suggestion in this section, which the MFP staff do read:

GLP1 users. Need a diet plan for this said group. I would really like it for myself

Why do you believe the diet plan would be different for GLP-1 users vs. others trying to lose weight?

For example, for GLP-1 users, a JAMA article outlines recommendations:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2836527

That and other sources basically say to choose an eating plan that is high in protein and fiber, and nutrient-dense in other ways. That would mean putting a priority on eating lean meat/fish, vegetables/fruits, and whole grains, plus hydrated adequately and limiting intake of high-fat, sugary, and processed foods or foods that cause digestive distress.

That's essentially the same advice given anyone who wants to lose weight in a health-promoting way, especially if doing so on aggressively low calories, including people not taking GLP-1 drugs.
