Abstract
Not only does good nutrition during cancer recovery help you to feel better, it has also been proven to improve treatment outcomes, lower your risk of complications and help you to heal and recover faster. If you have a good appetite and your weight is normal then a healthy eating diet will provide you with the nutrients you need to fight your disease. Unfortunately, eating and maintaining weight can be a difficult task for many cancer sufferers. Weight loss during cancer treatment has been proven to negatively impact recovery and is also distressing for patients. This book has been created by oncology dietitians to provide patients with advice on how best to combat cancer-induced weight loss and other eating related problems that are encountered on a day-to-day basis. We strive to translate this information into simple, nourishing meals. In this book you will find a bank of quick, easy and energy and protein-dense recipes that have been created specifically for people who find it hard to maintain weight. We hope you find this book helpful and enjoy experimenting with the recipes provided.
