Hi all,
Thanks for joining this
discussion. As many of you have pointed out, there is no evidence that women
diagnosed with breast cancer need to follow a special diet or eat, or not eat,
particular foods. Following the dietary guidelines that are recommended for all
Australian adults is recommended.
If you are thinking of
changing your diet significantly, you might want to talk to your GP about how
best to do this, as changes to diet can affect your energy levels and lead to
dietary deficiencies.
You might also like to look
at the healthy
eating page on BCNA’s website which has some useful information and a link
to our Healthy eating and breast cancer booklet which you can order or download
from the website.
