Hi there, Thanks for the info on meat substitutes, the video was really helpful in several ways including the reminder focusing on the big picture, calcium, sodium, etc.

I understand its important to avoid most of these fake meats/burgers due to high sodium or TVP. In case listeners were curious after hours looking at sodium of meat alternatives, I found that Quorn Meatless Chicken Pieces or fillet were only about 200 mg salt per serving so perhaps less terrible. Quorn is also soy free.

I was curious what you thought about seitan (wheat gluten based “meat”) and miso paste as a condiment (1tsp) for oxalates. I understand miso soup served in restaurants is not recommended.

  Hi Saloni,
  Paying attention to sodium is key. Once in awhile these products can be had. Get your calcium needs met.

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
