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,1 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! Here's how you lose weight from cancer.

When it comes to weight and your overall health, what you eat and the amount you eat over the entire day will generally be a higher priority than any single meal. But if you skip breakfast due to an absence of time or motivation or find yourself grabbing unhealthy snacks later in the morning that’s probably not the best idea for your health.
