For patients with lupus, we recommend eating less beef. This is because our dietary guidelines for lupus patients are: high protein, low fat, low salt, low sugar, and foods rich in various vitamins and calcium. Since beef is a high-phenylamine protein food, it is advised to consume less of it. Patients can eat some fish, lean meat, chicken, and duck, depending on their financial situation, to supplement the protein lost in the kidneys but should not eat too much to avoid indigestion. The diet for lupus patients should be light, and when cooking, food should not be too oily or too spicy.
