I changed my diet because I feel better eating fruits and vegetables. I still eat meat, red meat only occasionally and chicken, mostly fish. I try to eat fish at least twice a week. . If it was guaranteed that if you ate a vegetarian diet with the right omega 3 fats then no healthy women who followed that diet would ever get breast caner and all the over weight women who eat hamburgers and ice ream would get breast cancer. We know this is not rue, but there is evidence that a healthy diet can help your body’s our immune system fight cancer cells. Below is information I got from a nutritional, it is much too strict for me but the guidelines are worth sharing. One thing to note is that sugar raises insulin so if you want to eat cookies go for it but do it after a full meal NEVER on an empty stomach.



Your daily diet should be primarily plant-based. The vegetable kingdom is filled with cancer-fighting compounds like flavonoids, terpenoids, carotenoids, and hundreds of other phytochemicals. Eat more vegetables: 10-12 servings per day is the therapeutic ideal, according to the NCI. Practically speaking, of course, this is not feasible. A variety of whole grains, legumes, and vegetables is always a good idea nutritionally speaking. Try to emphasize variety in your diet, not eating the same thing every day. This is better for you nutritionally and for your digestive health. The overall plan is a light breakfast, then a substantial lunch (emphasizing protein from healthy sources, and plenty of vegetables), and then a lighter dinner, with more vegetables, pasta and less protein. Lower your intake of animal protein (except for whey protein) as much possible. If you have animal protein, have it at lunch and then take a walk or, if feasible, engage in some form of physical activity afterward; also, eat your vegetable protein (legumes, nuts, seeds) at dinner. Poultry should be kept to a minimum; fish is a better source of animal protein for regular consumption.
