Description of Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition Guide PDF

Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition Guide PDF: Eat to starve lymphedema and lipedema by having foods that fight these conditions (and cancer) and avoiding foods that contribute to symptoms or related conditions. Learn how food choices affect both conditions and how better nutrition can improve symptoms (including pain) and delay changes associated with progression to more advanced stages. Intended for anyone with, or at risk for, lymphedema or lipedema, caregivers, lymphedema therapists, and other health care providers.

Signs of lymphedema and lipedema (painful fat syndrome) include swelling (edema), abnormal fat accumulation, pain, skin changes, and infections (cellulitis, wounds or ulcers) in affected areas. Lymphedema and lipedema are progressive conditions that can be depressing, disfiguring, disabling, and (potentially) deadly, without treatment. This guide explains why nutrition is an essential part of treatment and self-care for these conditions, what to eat, and how to change your eating pattern. It also covers vitamins, minerals, and supplements that may be beneficial.

You may be at risk for lymphedema if you have chronic venous insufficiency, other venous disorders, heart disease, obesity, a cancer diagnosis (especially breast cancer, reproductive system cancers, or melanoma), or a family history of lymphedema or swollen legs. Eating wisely and maintaining a healthy body weight can help reduce your risk of developing lymphedema symptoms.

This guide includes all the information you need for changing your eating pattern including ways to increase your motivation and build support for changing your eating pattern, meal plans and recipes for recommended foods, a shopping guide, cooking tips, suggestions for eating away from home, and much more. It also includes detailed information on lymphedema and lipedema including risk factors, signs and symptoms, treatment, other health care considerations and over 40 photos showing different stages of each condition.

The authors include experts in lymphedema and lipedema treatment, nutrition research, and behavior change. Recommendations are based on published medical research combined with the clinical experience of the authors. In addition to sharing their clinical experience, Emily Iker and Linda-Anne Kahn share their personal insights from living well with lymphedema and lipedema, respectively.

I have very mixed feelings about this Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition Guide PDF . Obviously a lot of research went into it but I find it to be a bit poorly organized. The thing that throws me is some of the inconsistency-coffee and tea are listed under foods that one should ‘eat primarily’ and also under ‘eat rarely or never’. Which is it? Also, in a past 2015 version of the recommended eating plan that was published, fish and eggs were under ‘eat primarily’ and now they are under ‘eat in limited quantities’. Potatoes and raw nuts and seeds have also moved categories. My question is, between 2015 and 2016, how much has the evidence changed to influence the categorization of these foods, and therefore, are first two categories arbitrary?

I expected more from this Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition Guide PDF. The latest research is proving that a Keto or LC HF diet is really doing wonders for Lipedema & Lymphedema sufferers. I have Lipo-Lymphedema and the Keto diet is working for me. This book recommends an entirely different way of eating, more like the standard american diet of high carbs. I completely disagree so I found the book relatively useless. FYI, I’ve lost 30 pounds in 3 months on Keto and a lot of it from my Lippy areas. Just saying.

I bought this book with the expectation that it would define the best foods and way of eating to manage & improve lymphedema and lipedema. It does offer a lot of useful suggestions, but there’s still a lot of room for interpretation and personal trial-and-error to know exactly what’s best for you. I’m glad I bought it, but I am a little disappointed that some of the suggestions conflict with other research and reading I’ve done as to what’s good for you and what is not. The section I found most interesting was Ch. 2, Physiology and Food Choices, which goes into detail about how certain macronutrients (e.g. fats) are broken down and processed in the body. If you’re starting from scratch, this book might provide a nice starting point to formulate an eating plan and research some supplements. If you’ve already done a lot of research and have a well-defined way of eating to manage lymphedema and/or lipedema, it probably won’t tell you anything you didn’t already know. The main advice would benefit anyone: cut down on sugar, wheat, and simple starches. From there, two different options are presented: a plant-based diet with low-meat emphasis or a high-fat diet with low-carb emphasis. The book pushes the plant-based lifestyle but does discuss keto a few times. (If you’re a staunch keto advocate, you might disagree with some of the advice here and there). It did give me some motivation to try some new foods and do more research. Overall, if you have the time to read it you’ll probably find a few nuggets of helpful info.

I mentioned this book to my Vascular Surgeon who treats me for Lymphedema these past 8 years – and he said this was a great book. I learned about it though from a Group on Facebook which is all about this terrible incurable result of damaged lymph drainage system in the human body brought on by many different types of causes. One thing this book taught me right away is that a gluten free diet will REALLY help and I am now starting mine. This one thing alone if it was all this book had to recommend it would be great, but it also tells you all about the most modern understanding of it (as of 2016), and teaches you about what to do to help yourself in it, as well as recipes, food choices, etc. Great Book and I HIGHLY Recommend it.

I have finished reading the first 50 pages, and am very disappointed. Maybe the rest is better, but I certainly would not buy it again. There are numerous typos, mostly “the” or “an” missing in front of a noun, which is ridiculous. It is bursting with acronyms like VEGF, which is first used on page 45, but not defined until page 46. It has a lot of very technical language, which is understandable, but poorly written, awkward sentences make it very hard to follow. I haven’t gotten to recipes or food lists yet, so maybe there is some valuable information that is more user-friendly. I purchased this because a family member was recently diagnosed with lipedema, and intended to pass it on after reading it. I can’t give her this–not only is it frustrating and hard to follow, it contains graphic medical pictures which are very hard to look at. If a person has already been diagnosed, they need practical advice and encouragement to help them learn to deal with their situation, not disturbing pictures of what might be in store for them.

Lymphedema is a horrid disease. Previously it was treated by manual lymph drainage performed by trained therapists, and by wearing special compression garments. Within the last few years, surgical treatments have been developed. It turns out, though, that it can also be treated through proper nutrition. This book is a treasure of information on proper nutrition for sufferers of lymphedema. If you or someone you know has lymphedema, this book is a must read.

I am newly diagnosed. This book gives immeasurable help, support, suggestions with very specific details. All of it is superb. It offers alternatives, options, honest insight into the disease and how to best deal with all the issues associated with the disease.
If you have lymphedema, lipedema, or Dercum’s you need this book.
