After doing massive amounts of research and also working with a nutritionist who specializes in fighting cancer with nutrition, I began following a dietary regimen to fight my cancer. These are the basic guidelines.
The Breakdown:
- 70% - 80% organic fruits and vegetables
- 10% - 15% protein
- 10% - 15% fat
The Rules:
- Eat way more vegetables than fruit. Veggies are the healers. Fruits are the cleansers.
- Buy organic when possible, but don't fret over it. If it's not organic, use an organic vegetable wash to remove pesticides, or wash with white vinegar.
- As much as possible, eat produce raw.
- Eat a big salad a day.
- No wheat or gluten products.
- No refined sugar or artificial/chemical sugar substitutes.
- Agave Nectar and Stevia are acceptable natural sweeteners.
- Use ONLY organic animal products. This includes all meat, eggs, and dairy. NO pork.
- Use only olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and sunflower oil.
- No processed foods with preservatives and chemicals.
- Eat all nuts (except peanuts) liberally.
- Fat should come from healthy sources (avocados, nuts, olive oil, etc.)
- Allowable drinks: green tea (drink liberally), unsweetened black tea (or naturally sweetened with stevia or agave), homemade lemonade (with agave or stevia), WATER!
