HDT Weight Gain

I lost 10 percent body weight over 6 months. Followed a “no fun” diet. No desserts. No alcohol. Mostly fruits, vegetables, fish, and only whole grain bread. Combined with exercise with weights 3-4 times a week and long walks daily. Was fortunate to feel well throughout. Very ascetic.

Great diet. Add vitamin D3.

Most cancer patients have deficiency of D3. It helps the body fight cancer. You might want to have your D3 level checked.

identical diet. Like you that diet and exercise has had the same effect and reduced side effects of radiation and hormone therapy. I also have more energy.

Did you do absolutely no wine or dessert for 6 months? I'm thinking about my husband's fortitude on that type of regime. We do Intermittent fasting for 5 days a week. Then on Saturday and Sunday we relax. I'm thinking that's not going to be enough. What do you think?

I am not medically qualified to advise. I was strict. It seems to me it is a case of the closer you can come to the diet the better the chances for good results.
