You don’t just get cancer, everyone has it which does clean up work in your body and they are supposed to die when finished. Sometimes cancer cells don’t self destruct and will mutate. The general thought is the mutation should be stopped by your imune system. So fixing your imune system will prevent getting cancer in the first place. If you have Chemo or radiation they will almost always kill your imune system. Cancer is diet related which started me on this quest. My lovely wife went out of her way to find me low carb recipies and i owe her my life, she was cooking two seperate meals a day. Wendy has now changed to low carb as well. Your body turns carbs into glucose which cancer lives on. My daily input of carbs was below 15 grams of carbs. Now if you google carbs in one slice of toast bread the answer is 24 grams. White flour has 75 percent carbs so anything made with white flour will be high. most diet people will tell you that a good healthy diet should contain 300 grams per day or less if you want to lose weight. We will post recipes we have tried and improved on in further posts. You must eat fats in your low carb diet as your body will adapt to living off fats so things like bacon and eggs are good low in carbs high in fats. We make a low carb bread in our bread maker which only has 5 grams of carbs per slice. I found eating one slice with butter and low carb jam for breakfast keeps me full to almost dinner time. The recipe for the jam will be put on this site as well.
People think that fruit and vege’s are good for you but some are very high in carbs, generally berries are lower than other fruits and above ground vege’s are lower. If you google how many carbs in say peaches it will tell you. Also packets from the supermarkets will have carbs per 100grams so when you shop google everything it might take a while but you soon know what to buy. remember you have 100 grams of carbs to play with for each meal, If you want to lose weight naturally carbs must be lower. I have lost 14 kilo’s and Wendy has lost 18 and we are keeping it off even having 3 full meals a day, weight reduction coarses advertise on tv only work because it’s portion size they work on once you lose weight and leave the weight goes on, check the back of their meals for sale in supermarket very high in carbs. My day today consisted of one large slice of home made bread (5 carbs) one small avocardo (9 carbs) butter (o carbs) for breakfast, lunch Raw fish in coconut cream (2.7 carbs) 3 krannsky (2 carbs), dinner was lettuce salad (5 carbs) smoked fish fillet (0 carbs) almonds for a snack (6 grams) so my total for the day is 29.7 grams of carbs and never felt hungry all day.
I must point out at this early stage that this is our story and we don’t push anyone to do something against thier doctors or dietitians advice. We found out there was very little information out there (apart from the doctors) which makes decision making very difficult.
So for this reason i will have another line of posts to cover my journey with cancer. If you know someone who is suffering from cancer send them a link to this blogg as it would be good to hear about their journey
