Debunking Diets
If you’ve ever thought about starting a diet, you're not alone. Studies suggest that more than 45 million Americans will attempt to diet every year. While it’s easy to find a regimen that claims you’ll lose weight and feel better, how do you know it’s safe or even good for you? The amount of misinformation about diets isn’t just confusing — it can be downright dangerous.
For cancer patients and survivors, this is especially true. Patients who are on active treatment or have ended treatment have different nutritional needs than others.
In this podcast, we address some of the most popular fad diets with Dana-Farber senior nutritionist Stacy Kennedy MPH, RD/LDN, CSO, from the keto diet to intermittent fasting. Plus, we get down to the heart of the matter: whether a patient on active treatment should even diet at all.
