The study was aimed at determining the blood glucose, lipid, and lipoprotein levels in post-mastectomy women treated with Tamoxyphene. The women's eating habits and effects of health-promoting education on the blood parameters were analysed. A 4-month-long health-promoting education aimed at improving the participants' carbohydrate-lipid metabolism resulted in a statistically significant (P˂0.05) decrease in triacylglycerol (from 145.8±87.9 to 121.3±46.0 mg/DL) and LDL cholesterol (from 135.0±33.8 to 120.8±19.7 mg/DL) levels as well as in a desired individual normalisation of glucose and total cholesterol levels. Additional effects included a slight body weight reduction and changes in BMI (Body Mass Index; from 26.6±4.1 to 26.3±3.6) and WHR (Waist/Hip Ratio; from 0.82 ±0.05 to 0.79 ±0.05). Evaluation of the nutritive value of daily food rations showed an appropriate total protein consumption at a reduced caloric value, the animal protein contribution being, however, still to high. Carbohydrate intake was in a lower part of the recommended range, while fat consumption exceeded the recommended range. A too low intake of dietary fibre, beta karo tene, vitamin B6, and Ca + +, Mg+ + , and Zn++ was revealed. Following the nutrition course, the diets' caloric value increased slightly, consumption of complex carbohydrates with fibre increasing as well. Additionally, an increase was recorded in consumption of the vitamins and minerals taken into account.
