I just read your success story... it is very informative and uplifting. I too am older, 68. I am exploring different nutrients that I may be lacking and have come upon several and will add them next month. I won't increase my protein because of stage 3 kidney disease. I can't take the chance. But I am getting plenty of protein. And all the studies I have read say that high protein does not 'cause' kidney failure. But if the kidneys are already damaged the kidneys have a hard time processing protein and it puts more stress on them.

I hope you continue to stay healthy and maintain your weight. It gives hope that it can be done. 😊
