When I first got diagnosed of a kidney problem, I was told by the doctor to reduce/ not have protein and salt.
While in Germany, food without salt wasn't a problem. But it was hard to get something vegetarian without cheese/ yoghurt dressing or some other form of dairy products or eggs.
Circumstances then got us on a flight to Bangalore. Indian food without salt is like Italian food without Olive oil. Everything has loads of salt in it.
Worse, 'dal' and other legumes being a staple with every meal was forbidden cos of its protein contents.
So here I am surviving on tons of vitamin tablets, no salt, no lentils, no legumes, no milk, no cheese, no eggs...Doesn't leave me with much of a choice eh?
*sigh!*
