Lymphedema and Lipedema Nutrition Guide: foods, vitamins, minerals, and supplements

Wow ! Only had the book for a few days. Information is outstanding. Got a lot of reading to do. But so far I'm very impressed with the book. I was told my thighs was just fat by my doctor last year. But you know your own body. When I get enough information. I will be back to see my doctor when I can ( virus is not allowing me to go). To see what help i can get.

I’m a care worker but bought this for myself. It is a ‘ heavy ‘ book to read as it is quite medical and sometimes a little hard to understand. But it is an amazing book, very informative and very interesting. Give this book a go. Stick with it and take your time reading and understanding the book. Excellent.

I have lipoedema and I need this book but it's going to take a few readings to glean the most helpful information because there is just so much to take in. A lot of detail is provided about the physiology/nutrition side and, even though I have a science background, I found it hard going. Perhaps the best approach is to read this slowly, make notes, and come up with your own plan? But I guess I just wanted 'the answers' without too much effort on my part. I didn't find the sample meal plans helpful (a lot of salads and soups, eggs and fish) but then I have other dietary restrictions (vegan) and I appreciate there's never a one-size-fits-all. In summary, it's worth getting but be prepared to do the work of interpreting it in light of your own, individual condition, preferences, and resources. I think trial and error is needed to figure out the right diet for you (but I appreciate, when facing a progressive condition, there's a wish just to know the best answer straight away). The book does include suggestions for *how* to make the dietary changes as well (including food diary, meditation, dealing with saboteurs) so that's an added bonus!

This book is very good and explains how good affects your Lipodema and what how to eat to support this chronic condition

I am finding this book very hard to read, with toon much science and not enough emphasis on communication skill. I get the feeling it was dictated and not proof read before publishing. Just because it is the only book of its kind, does not mean that everyone who reads it will understand it. I am a graduate of English and it’s a tough read. I’m glad they produced lists of foods to eat and not to eat: those I can understand, but I would like to be able to understand it all! A list of recommended supplements would have been good too. There’s so much a book on lipadema could say, and hopefully they will improve this book on future editions.

Appears to be very informative. Although having only just received it, I have yet to read thoroughly

Having self diagnosed and now waiting to have it confirmed, it's been great to get information that at least makes one feel hopeful of a positive out come, and the chance to have some control over things.Informative, with medical info to back it up.Feeling less helpless.

Good photos good recipesHow to keep a food diaryTells you What is good and what is bad to eat for LymphoedemaImportant factors that every sufferer needs to knowTells you more than the Clinics tell youThere are so many foods to avoid especially sugarIts like Having Your personal assistant to hand everydayMissing the receipe for ginger tea

This is more than I hoped it would be. The book covers the two conditions, effects, vitamins and clear foods to eat and those to avoid. I especially liked the section that addresses ways to be successful in changing eating habits. Ntrition is discussed. Recipes are there and even how to prepare fruits and veggies. Photos of lyphedema and lipedema pre-and post dietary changes are shown. There is a clear table on foods to avoid. A lot of information, but going through it bit-by-bit was very helpful.

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.

This book takes into account many aspects such as diet, supplements, everyday habits, etc. and makes you feel like there are things you can do to improve your health problem. Also, you realize there are communities of professionals and people suffering from lipedema or/and lymphedema who are coming together to offer support and find solutions.

hat sich mal jemand mit der Ernährung bei Lip- und Lymphödem auseinandergesetzt.Ich habe das Buch innerhalb von zwei Tagen verschlungen, muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass ich bereits die theoretischen und wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen dieser Ernährungsansatz aufgebaut ist (richtig essen - länger leben, eat to Beat diseases von William Li) mir bereits vertraut war.Im Buch wird differenziert auf die Nahrungsmittel eingegangen, welche das körperliche Leiden von Betroffenen mit Lip- und Lymphen tagtäglich verbessern und lindern können. Mit beispielhaften Tagesplänen, Einkauflisten und diversen Tabellen wird versucht die Ernährung so anschaulich wie möglich zu machen. Auch Nahrungsergänzungsmittel werden diskutiert. Für Betroffene könnte diese Buch ein Wegbegleiter für den Weg der Besserung sein. Es ist leider bisher nur in Englisch erschienen. Ich werde es definitiv an Betroffene weiterempfehlen.
