A free diet and exercise program for men with prostate cancer who currently take or who have taken androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; also known as “hormone therapy”) for their prostate cancer. iLIVE uses the latest research to help you lose weight, get more active and improve general health. Through an online program that includes self-paced guidance, you will learn how to eat healthier, move more and manage your weight.
iLIVE is a research study funded by the National Cancer Institute. The goal of this study is to discover which healthy lifestyle programs work best for men with prostate cancer. Your participation may help you and help future cancer survivors.
iLIVE helps you reach your weight loss goal to improve your health. Because iLIVE is based on the latest research, we believe it can help!
Eating to lose weight is more than a diet plan. iLIVE will teach you about food choices and take with you every step of the way. You will learn the facts about sugar, calories, and more.
Regular daily movement helps maintain muscle and manage your weight. By moving, you can reduce fatigue, improve strength and balance, and boost mobility so that you can keep doing the things you want. iLIVE’s simple exercise and movement plans support your needs.
“I'm a 68 year old prostate cancer survivor. Before I started iLIVE, I was completely washed-out. I could barely walk a hundred feet without having to stop and catch my breath. I have enjoyed the program. I'm feeling better now. I am eating and sleeping better, and have lost weight.” — Mr. C.
Mr. C has dropped 16 pounds (roughly 10% of his body weight), was able to rise from a chair and walk much quicker, and improved his endurance by walking 27% more steps during a 2-minute testing period.
