Weight Loss after Dx

Not enough protein. Get a Plant-based protein powder. Go to GNC and ask what they recommend. I've got a basic, but, on a reco, my next batch will be a slow release powder of plant casing...or something like that. Also, more legumes and nuts, track the amount of grams...you should be getting at least 50-60. When starting radio, I believe the recommendation is up to twice that.

Eat Santa Eat ...mrs clause to Santa on one of those old christmas animated features of 20-25 years ago...member...he was skinny with suspenders...and the yeti made a appearenace...

ddys: That's a large percentage to lose; but from your sig it looks like you had surgery in that time period so maybe that contributed? I agree with adding a good protein powder to your diet. When you are up to it, you might consider adding some weight training into your fitness regimen also.


elipsis master: : The "animated feature" to which you refer is Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. The version now shown annually on U.S. network television was made over 50 years ago in 1964. And it's not a Yeti - it's the Abominable Snow Monster (or "Bumble" according to Yukon Cornelius.)

Thanks guys! Ill be reporting soon with a healthier weight gain.

Andrew, not following any specific diet but I was trying to follow diet by Michael Miliken - excerpts from his book are as follows

Milken’s Nutrition PC Nutrition Guide in a Nutshell
A bare bones summery of the 40 page Nutrition and Prostate Cancer Guide from The Prostate Cancer Foundation, Michael Milken’s organization for raising funds for research, has funded this guide put together by Edward L. Giovannucci, MD, ScD, Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health, and Peter H. Gann, MD, ScD, Professor of Preventive Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.
Keep your body at an optimum weight…loose weight (in a safe manner—consult your doctor) if you are obese
Eat 5 to 9 servings a day of fruits and vegetables without sauce or dressing. Eating at least 5 servings each week of cruciferous vegetables, particularly broccoli, might
help you decrease your risk of developing prostate cancer. Size-wise, this translates into
about a half cup of cooked vegetables per serving
Eat at least two servings a week of tomato sauce roughly a half cup per serving.
Drinking 8 oz of pomegranate juice daily might slow the rate at which prostate cancer progresses
Any anti-cancer effects of green tea requires drinking six or more cups per day
Reduce eating red meat….don’t grill food
Increased consumption of soy-based foods would seem to be beneficial in slowing the disease process. However, because not all soy-based foods are high in isoflavones and some preparations can be high in fat and low in nutritious value, be sure to discuss the value of adding different types of soy-based foods into your diet with your doctor and/or qualified nutritional consultant.
Eat more fish, but take care not to over eat fish considered high in mercury. Consult your fish monger and dietician for advice.
Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes a day at least 3 days each week. Include stretching exercises and resistance exercises and weight training.
That’s about all of the main points in this 40 page booklet. As always, consult with your doctor about any change in diet and/or activity.

Ddyss,

Peanut butter on whole grain bread before bed at night will add weight and are reasonably healthy especially if it's natural/low sugar peanut butter.

Why are you still on a PC diet if you're already thru surgery?

Island time, what caused you to lose so much weight? Also why did did you even opt for surgery to begin with with a small amount of G6?
