The perfect healthy diet tool for those suffering renal failure |
|
This is great for my father. Because his kidneys don’t function well having less fat in his diet keeps them from over working. The odd thing about this type of disease is he can’t eat anything that is, get this, “wholesome.” He has to eat foods that are a bit more processed.
So when he craves fries, I cook them in the NuWave Oven! I coat it with just a touch of good olive oil and herbs, a bit of sea salt and he’s happy! Moist and crispy. He also needs a bit more protein but without the extra fat. I take a great steak, chicken or pork filet, just season a bit, add some veggies he can have and make a complete meal fast, tasty, and less fat. There is so many things he can’t have: anything with too much phosphrous (the worst enemy of all to the renal patient), fiber, and too much potassium and iron is also not good. So I have to create recipes that I can use in the NuWave. And because his meals are timed due to his meds (need to be taken with 3 square meals a day), the NuWave makes it easy. I work and am a full-time student at our local community college, the NuWave is a big help! I’ve been in the culinary field for over 20 years, but I burned out. Believe it or not the NuWave has made me love cooking again. I know it sounds wierd. Because his 3 favorite things to eat are pizza,chicken, and fish. Thank you NuWave for making it easy and getting my creative juices flowing. Oh two more things, I baked a cake and it came out great. And Thanksgiving is sooo much easier now because the turkey comes out perfect.
