A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is regarded as an optimal nutritional approach for managing patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The "Forks Over Knives" movement has significantly influenced healthcare professionals, promoting the benefits of nutrient-dense, minimally processed plant foods while excluding refined and heavily processed items, as well as animal products. This dietary approach aids in slowing CKD progression by addressing issues such as hypertension, volume overload, azotemia, acidosis, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition. The study, conducted from April 2022 to February 2024, aimed to compare the nutritional status of CKD patients following lacto-vegetarian and omnivorous very low-protein diets (VLPDs) with the aid of objective assessment tools, including weight, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, skinfold thickness, mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), visceral fat, grip strength, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and skeletal muscle measurements. Patients adhering to plant-based VLPDs showed notable improvements in MAMC, grip strength, and skeletal muscle mass across the body, trunk, and legs compared to those on omnivorous diets. The study excluded patients transitioning to dialysis and included individuals based on creatinine clearance and eGFR levels.
