I was always HWP until I had a rare type of breast cancer at age 49. I opted for a bilateral mastectomy with 6 months of chemotherapy. During the chemo I actually gained 20 lbs. That was over 3 years ago and I'm still struggling with the weight. I read "The China Study" and then began "Eat To Live" by Dr Joel Fuhrman and really liked it. I've also been to a dietitian who recommends focusing on eating 7 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily realistically and between 9 to 13 servings optimally. My downfall is not planning my meals daily. Also, I blew my ACL skiing this spring and just 2 weeks ago I had surgery to replace it. Therefore, my exercise is very limited at the present time.
