Practice Change? Weight Loss Advice for Breast Cancer Lymphedema – Medscape

Image
Contrary to expectations from clinical experience, a new study found that a weight loss program, alone or in conjunction with a home-based exercise intervention, was not effective in reducing lymphedema symptoms in breast cancer survivors. These results contradict recommendations in current clinical guidelines, note the authors. In addition, the findings are contrary to their own clinical experience, they add, inasmuch as they have seen patients with breast cancer–related lymphedema (BCRL) whose lymphedema symptoms improved after they lost weight. “Current guidelines from the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Institute, National Lymphedema Network, and others tell overweight women with breast cancer lymphedema that weight loss will help their condition,” commented lead author Kathryn H. Schmitz, PhD, MPH, professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, Penn State College of Medicine, in Hershey. “Our trial is definitive — weight loss does not help with symptoms or ...

The ‘Secret’ to Successful Weight Loss – Psychology Today

Source: “diet scale” by stockcatalog is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Apologies if this sounds like some kind of gimmicky pitch, but I lost 40 pounds and kept them off—and you can too! I never expected to be writing those words. Like many adults, however, I saw my weight creep up over the years, until eventually, about three years ago, I was tipping the scale at an unhealthy 208 pounds. My doctor informed me that I was 25 pounds over the high end of my  healthy weight range , setting myself up for serious health issues going forward. Clearly, I had to do something. Rather than turn to the latest popular diet , I decided to take a reason-based approach.
