How to Lose Weight After a Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, you're probably feeling a range of emotions – including fear and anxiety. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. But one thing you can control is your weight.

Nearly 80% of people who are diagnosed with breast cancer will experience weight gain, reported to range between two pounds and 18 pounds. This added weight can make it more difficult to undergo treatment, increase your risk for other health problems, and make you feel generally lousy.

Don't let cancer take away your hard-earned healthy habits!

This is The Deep Center's three-pronged approach to weight loss. They are simple strategies but not always easy.

-Set realistic goals for yourself.

-Fill your plate with clean fruits and vegetables. ( Choose organic when possible to reduce chemical load. ) Ensure you are eating plenty of protein and fiber and reduce white flour, sugar, and alcohol.

-Exercise regularly – aim for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. We love the plan for movement five days a week. ( those days might include just a simple Deep Release class or Deep Stretch. )

If you are struggling with weight gain or other side effects from your cancer treatment, talk to your doctor. You may be able to adjust your medication or find other ways to manage the problem.

Losing weight after a breast cancer diagnosis is possible – and it's worth it! You'll look and feel better, have more energy to fight cancer, and lower your risk of other health problems. Best of all, you will feel like your "old" self again.
