Can anyone recommend dietary changes to decrease risk of recurrance?

Read Chris Beat Cancer or look at his videos.
Read dr William Li “Eat to beat the disease” EXCELLENT!
Theres a lot on Instagram… with caution.
Best!

I'm three and a half years past diagnosis. No doctor has made any suggestions. However, I suggest a common sense healthy diet in the Mediterranean style--fruits, vegetables, lean protein. etc. The main research I've seen suggests not drinking alcohol. However, there are a lot of extreme suggestions out on the internet, which I'd avoid, along with fringe theories. My best advice is see a nutritionist, talk through your concerns, and get some guidelines. Personally, I emphasize generally healthy habits but want to retain pleasure in eating, particularly with my family.

I agree with the other comments about reading Chris Beat Cancer. He also has a cookbook filled with delicious, whole-food, plant-based, organic recipes. And yes, read Dr. William Li's “Eat to Beat the Disease”; his feedback is also constructive. I think all of these survivors/doctors basically recommend the same thing: and that is to eat a whole food, plant-based, organic diet. Eliminate all processed foods, sugar, and alcohol. I know it can seem like a lot, but once you do it, everything changes, and you'll enjoy your food/life even more than before. Your taste buds will change and improve dramatically, and the added benefit is that you'll feel fantastic and empowered, as you're supporting/boosting your immune system, which is critical in fighting cancer. Sadly, this aspect of our health is often overlooked or ignored by the doctors treating us, and I believe it means everything to our success/survival.

A longer window between dinner and breakfast was shown to lessen likelihood of reoccurrence in rat studies and there are lots of articles about it. 13/14 hours seems to be the sweet spot per the research.

Low carb., no sugar, no flour or grains ( which turn into sugar)

Basic rule: do not eat bread or pasta or cakes. Skip the bakery section completely. Potatoes and rice are also bad as they are a starch. Also stay away from fruit which is full of fructose (also sugar) except for blueberries. Organic

Cancer cells have 10 times more sugar receptors than regular cells. This is known as the Warburg effect (named after scientist who won the Nobel prize for medicine in the 1930s). The body runs on either glucose or ketones. Dr Thomas seyfreid recommends a Ketogenic diet to manage and treat cancer. I am following these guidelines by trying to not run my body’s fuel system on glucose. Good luck in finding your path. 😊

I agree....I've been following a keto diet. Meat and vegetables, fruit only if its in season and absolutely nothing processed. IMO processed = poison
