Re: Newbie looking for Recipes and Resources

Welcome, Glad2BHere! I am the Registered Dietitian on the site (amongst a multitude of very knowledgeable women). I am always excited to hear of someone who is ready to take control of their health. You have already received some good advice. I will add just a few things. There have been a few good, large studies in the last few years that have looked at breast cancer and diet. Specifically, the focus has been on the benefits of a low fat diet and increased fruit/vegetable intake coupled with physical activity. You would serve yourself well to follow a plant-based diet and if you choose to keep animal product in your diet then make sure they are lean choices. As for recipes and nutrition information I really like the American Institute for Cancer Research website (www.aicr.org). You can sign up to recieve a weekly recipe from them. The American Cancer Society also has a couple of good cookbooks. Best wishes to you!
