Product Description

Holly Clegg and noted oncologist Gerald Miletello, MD have released an updated edition of Eating Well Through Cancer: Easy Recipes & Recommendations During & After Treatment with color photographs, new recipes and updated valuable information. The book is designed to help cancer patients better tolerate treatment and maintain a healthy lifestyle after treatment. Miletello said he has felt the need for this cookbook for 15 years in order to answer his patient's most frequently asked question, "What should I eat?"

The book is a collection of 250 recipes evaluated with regard to their nutritional value, taste, simplicity, availability of ingredients and preparation time. The book also includes a few medicinal recipes for a basic weight gain shake and substitutions. However, most of the recipes are familiar everyday dishes with a healthy twist. Recipes include chicken scampi, blueberry pancakes, spinach and cheese tortillas and vichyssoise. "Nutrition is important in prevention and sustaining a healthy lifestyle," says Clegg.

The book chapters include: Day of Chemo, Neutropenia, Diarrhea, Constipation, Sore Mouth, High Protein-Weight Gain, Snacks, Caregivers and Post Healthy Eating. Each includes an introduction from the doctor, doctor's notes, menu planning, shopping lists, high calorie variations, nutritional analysis, diabetic exchanges and a cross reference list.

Regarding the cookbook, Miletello says, "This is a good, healthy cookbook that can be used by anyone to prepare everyday meals," Now, when my patients ask me a question about what to eat, I can say turn to page 23."

Dr. Gerald Miletello is a board certified oncologist and has been treating patients for more than 20 years. Holly Clegg, author of the Trim & Terrific cookbook series, does national media and speaking, writes for cooking magazines, and is a frequent spokeswoman and consultant for healthy eating and lifestyles.
