Dietitian who specialises in breast cancer
Was wondering if anyone can please recommend a dietitian who specialises in breast cancer.
Forum Discussion
Hi @Poek78
I am in Sydney bit Melbourne but I was recommended to a dietician by my breast care nurse.
I beli be most if the major cancer centres would have a dietician on staff or else a list of consultants.
I reckon I could almost be one.
I lost the 10 kilos I had put in over 30 years.
I basically worked out how many kilojoules I should have each day to lose weight ( and later on maintain that weight).
Then I make a meal plan with meals containing essential food groups ( fruit, vegetables, protein, dairy, nuts, oils etc) and cut out food and drinks with “ empty” kilojoules like soft drinks, alcohol, processed and “ junk” foods.
After I lost the 10 kilos I added the occasional treat like wine a couple of nights a week and the occasional sweet.
I know many people swear by various “ miracle” diets to stave off cancer / recurrence but it’s really more basic than that in my view.
