Eat all your favorite foods so you dont have any regrets. When I went thru rads, I lost 65 pounds. So if you are about 25 pounds overweight now, you do have a little you can lose. I still would advise you to not worry if you gain a few pounds. Try to eat well balanced, healthy meals and not just junk food. Make sure you eat anything that you enjoy that is spicy, like some Chinese or Mexican foods can be. Its best not to go into this with having food cravings as it could be several months before you are able to eat somewhat normally again.
Good luck!!!!
