Maybe you are at a plateau for just a bit until you begin that downward spiral once again. Don't lose hope yet. Take it as something positive and just part of the transition before you see some success again. :hug: Dee-How did you do this past week? :mag: Ana-what is your hardest food to give up that you know isn't really good for you to eat? Mine is ice cream, only because I can never eat a little. :eating2: My weigh-in today shows down 3 lbs. Yippee!!!!! :carrot: Come on ladies, I know you can do it too.

Dee-regarding your comments about Soy and Cancer, you may want to review these articles: American Institute for Cancer Research http://www.aicr.org/foods-that-fight...ww.google.com/ Because soy contains estrogen-like compounds, there was fear that soy may raise risk of hormone-related cancers. Evidence shows this is not true. Soy’s possible effects on health is an active area of research. ================================================== ===== Susan G.Komen http://ww5.komen.org/KomenPerspectiv...astcancer.html Does soy increase the risk of breast cancer? If there’s one solid conclusion from all the data on soy and breast cancer, it’s that eating moderate amounts of soy foods very likely does not increase the risk of breast cancer. The majority of high-quality studies and analyses have found that soy foods do not increase risk, even when eaten at levels much higher than those typically seen in the U.S.3-4 Does soy lower the risk of breast cancer? Although there are not enough data to know whether soy may help protect against breast cancer, many studies suggest that it does.3-4 However, it seems the benefit only comes with a pattern of intake that is seen in most Asian countries, where women begin eating soy early life and eat it in amounts many times greater than typically seen in the U.S.4 In Japan, for example, soy intake ranges from 25 mg to around 50 mg per day. In the U.S., intake ranges from less than 1 mg to 3 mg per day.5 Results from an analysis that combined findings from multiple studies in Asian populations found that women who ate high amounts of soy had a 25 percent lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who ate lower amounts.6 When the same analyses were done in studies of U.S. and other Western populations, there was no link between soy and breast cancer risk.6 As a survivor, is soy safe? Though the estrogen-like properties of soy seem like they could increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence or mortality (death), current studies suggest that eating moderate amounts of soy foods is safe for breast cancer survivors.7-9 As a survivor, does soy improve survival and lower the chances of recurrence? Current evidence suggests that a diet high in soy may improve survival and lower the risk of recurrence in women with breast cancer.7-9 The benefits don’t appear limited to Asian populations either. One analysis combined data from three large, long-running studies of survivors from both Asian and Western countries. It found that women who ate at least 10 mg of soy per day after a breast cancer diagnosis had a 25 percent lower risk of recurrence compared to those eating less than 4 mg per day.9 .................................................. ...................................... .................................................. ........... Summary There’s been a lot of study on a possible link between soy and breast cancer. Current research suggests that eating soy at higher levels typically seen in Asian countries may lower the risk of breast cancer. Eating moderate levels of soy may also lower the risk of recurrence and mortality in breast cancer survivors, but more studies are needed to confirm these findings. In moderation, soy can be part of an overall healthy diet that focuses on more plant-based foods and less red meat. What is Komen doing? According to Komen Scholar, Carol Fabian, M.D., Professor, Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, “After more than three decades of asking questions about the role of soy in breast cancer risk and recurrence we still do not have the answers. Thus Komen’s role in funding research on soy and other weak estrogen-like substances in plants is very important. It is possible that the soy may help prevent breast cancer if soy ingestion is started at a young age, but the primary concern has been in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors and the potential for soy to have an estrogen like action on the cancer cells if any remain. Although research is ongoing, there is little evidence to suggest that there is danger in consuming moderate amounts of soy in food even for survivors. However, until more is known it is probably best to avoid soy supplements after a breast cancer diagnosis.” Komen has invested more than $3.3 million in research investigating the effects of soy, and its components, on various aspects of breast cancer. Studies include: Determining how soy effects breast cancer risk, including studies on high soy or soy-supplemented diets. Testing whether soy, or its active components can protect against genetic damage and prevent the development of breast cancer. Testing whether soy can enhance the effectiveness of breast cancer treatments or prevent drug resistance. |
Hi everyone,
My eating over the weekend was off, I skipped meals & I grazed because of our frequent rain. Dh & I watched TV & napped. Corinna, Thanks :) for the soy info. Trying to keep up with current data has to be a continuous circle for the doctors to read while treating their daily patients. It's nice to read when food is healthy instead of harmful. I remember when studies said to limit eggs to 4 weekly also, red meat is harmful, etc. There are errors within all studies because everyone is a individual with their own genetic code. Don't eat this & that :dizzy: Just like the childhood vaccination disagreement about autism. My Dh had leukemia & had a recurrence 4 yrs later that gave him a 1-2 week survival death sentence, but a new drug that had just been approved saved his life. He's in his 7th year of remission this time, from taking that drug daily & if he stops taking it he has a 60% chance the cancer will take control again killing him. We make our own choices for our individual lifestyle & health. There are foods that everyone doesn't like the taste of & also foods that affect a individuals health differently. I respect everyone's decision for themselves, it's their body & life to enjoy. Renee, I found grooming horses very enjoyable :smug: I wish that I could've spent the day with you & at the horse show. How about sharing some horse photos here with us ;) I hope everyone has a beautiful day :hug: When I do errands today my goal is to not eat fast-food, to eat when I get back home. I wish I had apple slices to take with me or some nuts & raisins... |

Sounds like you are having a terrific week. I hope your kitchen floor gets installed quickly and smoothly. How exciting for you. Have fun judging at the fairs. :) Dee-I am glad that your husband was able to find an alternative drug to help him fight the cancer and help him stay in remission. Little snack packs of nuts & raisins are very helpful in those times when you need a quick snack when you get hungry. I try to keep something in my purse just to have when I miss a meal or may eat late. It helps me avoid getting a migraine and eating things I shouldn't. They are a good item to put on your grocery list. ;):carrot::dust: |

Off to a local fair this morning to judge the flowers, then I need to move my washer, dryer, stove and fridge and clean under them before the flooring gets done tomorrow.
