[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I didn't think her diet sounded all that awful.  She has lean protein, fruit/veggies, complex carbs.  And she is eating throughout the day.  If she was just drinking hot tea with some spices thrown in and calling that a "meal" that would be one thing.  But she is eating food.

She is apparently still taking the meds to prevent cancer recurrence so I also don't see why it's so hard to believe that the meds are affecting her body now.  [/quote]

Just some quick Googling shows weight loss is not a typical response to breast cancer or breast cancer medications.  Obviously, we don't know everything about her medical issues, but she's the one putting it out there as the reason for her obviously low weight.

If you received chemotherapy, then the weight gain could be blamed on the chemo.[b] It is well known that, following the diagnosis of breast cancer, weight gain is relatively common.[/b] It is more common in women receiving chemotherapy than in women who do not receive chemotherapy. The question about tamoxifen causing weight gain, in my mind, has been well answered. There are thousands of women who have been randomized to receive either tamoxifen or a placebo in double-blind studies. [b]Not one of those studies, to my knowledge, has demonstrated that the women receiving tamoxifen have more trouble with weight gain or weight loss than those women who receive placebo.[/b] The same thing could be said about nausea and vomiting. Some women complain that tamoxifen causes nausea and vomiting. There's no suggestion that it does so more than a placebo.

Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. Weight gain after breast cancer treatment is one of the most upsetting side effects in women who experience this side effect. It can be hard for women to hear that it's not the tamoxifen. I think they sometimes feel that their doctors don't believe they're gaining weight.

Women with breast cancer often complain of weight gain as an undesirable side effect of their treatment. Premenopausal women who receive chemotherapy are at higher risk for weight changes after completing therapy.

Many women who have chemotherapy for breast cancer have reported an average weight gain of about 5 to 8 pounds over a year. Some have reported gaining less, while others have gained as much as 25 pounds.[/quote]

People with eating disorders do eat food.  They don't not eat anything; they just eat "safe" foods.

This seems to be an actual copy of Giuliana's post about her diet and looks like a lot of "safe" food stuff going on (egg white omelettes, no oils at all, very very low fat, water with cayenne, etc): http://stek.org/nutrition-supplements/diets/celebrity-diets-giuliana-rancics-diet-plan/
