Diet restrictions with DCIS diagnosis?

Posted by kikay @kikay, Dec 15, 2023

I just want to know if there are any diet restrictions or any suggestions of diet. I was told by my oncologist to eat plant based and no sweets. Fish and Turkey. Fruits and veggies. This is something new to me all these diet . If you guys are craving for sweets, what is the alternative sweets if no sweets diet?

I used to love sugar, but I’ve managed to overcome my cravings by brushing my teeth right after meals. I also make sure each meal includes protein (2 grams per kilogram of my body weight), healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, and plenty of vegetables—especially since I need good calcium due to the effects of hormonal therapy. This simple habit has helped me go weeks without craving sugar. If you give it a try, let me know if it works for you too!

Look up this book:
Be A Plant-Based Woman Warrior by Jane Esselstyn. One of the female docs at Mayo Jax who has had breast cancer promotes it with NO animal products btw.
