Weightloss for better survival chances

I will add my two bobs worth to this discussion.!I have actually read some Valter Longo stuff,but I thought it was more for tumour management,not for when we have had the cancer removed,and are trying to build our bodies back up again.But I'm probably wrong! I attended a nutrition course at LifeHouse,after my treatment,and it was very much focused on greens,red berries,water,fish,and generally,all the stuff that we already know nourishes our bodies.I was 62 kilos when I started chemo,and I am the same today.I have worked really hard at maintaining my weight,because if I had let it get away on me,it would have been one more thing that I would have to deal with.We were also told about no alcohol,and the HUGE importance of exerciseI have also stopped drinking coffee,because caffeine strips calcium from your body,and this is important for me now with my osteoporosis .So for me,it is about eating only what I know is good for me.I think we have to put good food into our bodies EVERY day,as they have been through so much already.i don't go for the treat thing any more.A treat for me now is fresh fruit and veggies,and cakes,sweets etc.are just not an option any more.I don't know if this helps Jessica.Its not easy is it,and you just have to keep trying .At our course it was suggested to keep a food diary,and I think this is a good way of tracking exactly what you are eating,and let's you see where there are areas that you can improve on.Take care,and I look forward to hearing how you are getting on.Cheers Robyn
