These tips help to stabilize your blood sugar levels – the key to ending sugar cravings:
1.Take chromium supplements
2. Avoid and reduce carbs
3. Eat high protein snacks like cheese, eggs, nuts and meat
4. Eat only 85% chocolate
5. Eat a high protein breakfast
6. Don’t eat artificial sweeteners
7. Eat fresh fruit and berries for dessert
8. Clear out sugary foods and baked goods from your house
9. Replace white rice with brown rice
10. Exercise to stabilize blood sugar level
You must quit sugar.
Sugar is addictive, and it has the addictive quality of a drug. You will crave it, but after a few days of no sugar, the cravings go away. The more you eat, the longer it may take to adjust. But you will.
If you are fighting cancer this is essential. Eating sugar makes your body a friendly place for cancer and other diseases.
For example, if you have bread for lunch, don’t have bread products for supper
Limit drinks to 1 per day. Red wine is best, white wine or beer is second best. Avoid other types of alcohol
Bromelain is a digestive enzyme that has shown in studies to protect against breast and lung cancer. It is has anti inflammatory, anti invasive and anti metastasis (spread of cancer) qualities.
Tumours often have a protective covering made of fibrin that can be dissolved by the bromelain. Once this coating is dissolved, the white blood cells identify them as foreign cells and break them down.
Pineapple also:
First, you need fresh pineapple…canned pineapple and canned pineapple juice is cooked, and does not have the same nutritional and medicinal qualities as fresh.
I have been using this breville elite juicer for 5 years. It's the best. It's fast, friendly...but a bit expensive.

Juicing ensures you get a lot of vegetables in your diet. And it’s almost instant. I can easily have 5 vegetables with my lunch. And the veggies guarantee good health.

-Â If you are not used to fresh vegtable juice, start with half a glass or less.
-Carrots and tomatoes are good bases for juice. They are sweet, and not too strong. Go easy on the strong tasting veggies, like radishes, onions, hot peppers, or garlic, and herbs, especially at first.
- If you are really squeamish, or a kid, you can start with 1/2 orange juice, 1/2 carrot, or 1/2 apple, 1/2 carrot.
- Cucumbers are easy to take, so throw one of those in too.
- Drink it right away because it gets weird after 10 minutes.
- You can add a twist of lemon, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or salt to your juice for added flavour.
I use the Breville juicer which I love. It is powerful (1000 W). I bought if 5 years ago, and use it almost everyday. It’s a real workhorse. Most parts are stainless steel, it has a wide mouth so you can put most veggies in without cutting them up, and I put all the parts (except one) in the dishwasher. I can make juice and clean up in five minutes. This one is expensive, but it’s the best.
I drink a combination of veggies, depending on what I have in my garden or fridge. Just wash your veggies and throw into your juicer. Use organic vegetables. Some veggies are sweet, some are bitter, or very strong. Every vegtable has a unique combo of vitamins, minerals, and medicinal properties.
Some veggies are sweet and some bitter. All are good for you. Find a combo that you like
Sweet:
Beet
carrot
apple
cabbage
lettuce
cucumber
red pepper
tomato
cauliflower

- pumpkin (makes me queasy)
- pomegranate skin (tried it, felt like poison)

Yesterday I had dinner (Pad Thai) with my old friend Stella. I was surprised when she said that she thought I was obsessed with healthy food and that I follow a very strict diet.   I don’t feel that I am missing any of the gastronomical joys of life. Here is what I eat in a typical day.)*

My diet was much stricter during, and immediately after, my treatments . ( During this time I ate no sugar, coffee or alcohol, and very little meat). Â It’s been 5 years since my cancer diagnosis, and 31/2 years since I finished my treatment and I can easily maintain this diet.
Sometimes I eat grains, such as rice, home made bread, pasta, corn chips, or home made pizza…but I try to limit these. Sometimes , when I have a bit of time, I make Indian food. Sometimes I go to restaurants, and just try to make a fairly healthy choice. If I can’t get raw milk, I don’t eat diary, except for organic yogurt and natural cheeses.
In addition to all this food, I take a handful of supplements.
What’s your verdict? Is this a luxuriously tasty menu, or fanatically healthy diet?
Eat All Food and Only Food
All food is good for you.
Most foods have healing properties. All food has superfood potential. You just have to think of something you like, do a bit of research, and someone has found out its healing powers. Or, your favorite food has yet to be discovered as the New Miracle Food.
But some things are not food, and not good for you. Do not eat these.
And some foods are too processed or treated in such away that their benefits are destroyed, and they have become harmful. Do not eat these either.
Follow the “Only eat food, and lots of kinds of food” rule, and you will get tons of anti oxidants, minerals, vitamins, and all the anti tumour, and anti cancer chemicals science is just starting to discover. Do not eat filler foods that fill you up, but don’t nourish the body.

Comment if you think of something I forgot on my Don’t Eat This! list
Bon Appetit!
As soon as I found out that I had cancer I quit coffee. Why? Because it was the only food/drug that I was abusing, and I new I was addicted. I missed it a bit, even after a couple of years.
I couldn’t find much evidence that there was anything wrong with coffee. But in my heart, I knew I needed to only eat and drink things that were helping me heal. Like tea.
I started drinking coffee again, one cup a day, about a year ago. And now I usually drink one, or two. I mostly only drink organic espresso. Never use sugar, avoid processed milk.
OK, now studies say coffee is good for some health issues, even cancer. I can enjoy coffee more then ever since I am not an addict and I imagine it is good for me.
I enjoy coffee…now I’m addicted to tea.
I didn’t want my health condition to impact my family. But it did. So of course I didn’t want to take away the foods that my family loves, or make them eat food they (thought) they didn’t like. Living with doom, you want to allow small joys.
But I did change the cuisine of the whole family. To successfully change my diet, everyone had to change theirs. I have to remain a part of the family. I can’t be the exception. I can’t be the outsider. It was just part of our new reality. We were all in this together. These super foods, and good foods are important for my recovery and they are also good for my family. And of course, just about all of them taste wonderful.
I always ate healthy food, and still I can honestly say the the changes I’ve made have increased the deliciousness and quality of our meals. You can develop a taste for the things you are not used to, and you can learn to dislike the unhealthy foods. I never feel deprived.
Someone said to me, “you might as well enjoy life…why not eat whatever gives you pleasure?” She doesn’t understand that I do. But I changed what gives me pleasure.
