Hey @Hendrix I lost 7 kgs before chemo because the onc warned me the dexamethasone would cause weight gan, so I started a diet right away after my diagnosis. I gained 9 kgs with chemo, and then once I started to feel good after chemo I began my diet again, lost 32 kgs since and have kept it off for over a year, apart from a trip OS late last year where I put on 5-6 kgs but then lost it again when I got back home. Pics before and after the 32 kg loss are below (although my hair is now straight).
I used the anti inflammatory diet to choose which foods to eat. I started by counting calories for a couple of weeks while I 'retrained' myself in eating right After that I didn't need to count calories as I stuck mostly to lean meat, vegetables LOTS of salmon and berries. I also limited sweets to two small squares of dark Lindt high cocoa choc a day, and reduced carbs (no pasta, rice, noodles or potatoes). Arthritis meant no exercise.
Lots of changes in the last 2.5 years, but as long as I am consistent with choosing the right things to eat I should keep the weight off. I still weigh myself twice a day to make sure I hold myself accountable for my food choices. If I want something, I have it, it just means I might have a small amount of smiths chips and not a whole packet and then I will cut back on something else that day. I would love to lose another 10 kgs, but at the moment I am ok with where I am.
Hope you find what works best for you.
