NOW WHAT DO I EAT?: A Picky Eater's Guide to Eating Well Through Cancer

You have been told to just eat. But what do you eat when nothing tastes right? When your mouth hurts from treatment. When everything smells wrong. When the foods you have loved your whole life suddenly do not work anymore.This is the book nobody handed you in the waiting room.Now What Do I Eat? was written by a caregiver, a picky eater, and the founder of Islands Against Cancer, Inc. - someone who sat across from her father at breakfast tables all over town during the hardest eighteen months of their lives, watching one of the most enthusiastic eaters she had ever known slowly lose interest in food. She could not find a resource that told the truth about what eating during cancer treatment actually looks like. So she wrote one.Seventy-three recipes built around high protein, soft textures, and real food that picky eaters will actually eat. Every recipe includes the science behind why the ingredients support a body in treatment, an honest heads-up about when a recipe might not work and what to substitute, and the story of where it came from.Inside you will find practical guidance on managing mouth sores, metallic taste, nausea, and appetite loss. A Symptom Quick Reference that maps what your body is experiencing to the recipes most likely to help. A Caregiver's Cheat Sheet with the ten recipes to keep in your freezer and a decision guide for the days when nobody can choose.This book speaks to two groups. Warriors in active treatment who are simply trying to get through each day. And survivors in the months and years after treatment who want to eat in ways that support long-term health. Both groups will find what they need here.Nutritional content reviewed by Rylee Lin, RD, CSO, LDN, Registered Dietitian, Outpatient Oncology at Roper St. Francis Healthcare.Part of the Now What Series by Islands Against Cancer, Inc.
