EATING TO PREVENT CANCER

My before-cancer diet consisted of juicy medium-rare steaks, jerk pork sausage, stewpeas with PIGS TAIL, crab by the dozens, pomegranates, ALL KINDS OF CHEESES and on and on......The blood type people say i musn`t eat soft cheese, the live food people say no cheese, can`t seem to find a healthy diet advocating eat all the cheese u want......Which is what i really want to hear. I can keep on wishing AS eating when u have cancer is interesting to say the least and u need to go back to school to work out what's best for u.
U see pomegranates in there and say but thats good for her, lots of good things to fight cancer, well,if you are B blood type pomegranates are poison to your system along with coconut (so there goes coconut water) avocado and tomato.
I agree with moderation being the key to everyone's diet but some of us don`t know the meaning of the word...for instance i used to eat red and yellow coat plums all day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, isn`t something a little wrong with that? Were guineps made to be had all day, everyday while in season? I didn`t get the memo so that was standard fare for me........Is it as bad as eating junk food 3 times a day? Maybe, as it must have kept my body acidic.
Some of us are serious about our health, the Live Food people will tell u fruit juice in the morning, nut milk at noon and veggie juice at night and your greens etc. in between. I try, but the real world is geared for bacon and eggs in the morning, chicken salad with dressing for lunch and fish or chicken, lamb or pork chops with potato , rice or a tossed salad for dinner, don`t forget the dressing, the potato would have butter or sour cream depending on how its done - something i can`t eat. The chicken or fish may be cooked with an oil i can`t have or done in a sauce, like tomatoes, can`t have that either.........does that mean i have to stay home?
Trust me if I eat wrong I feel it sooner or later. NEVER GOOD I CAN TELL U!
Then every day the news comes out coffee is good for u then next month coffee is bad for u. Fish is good for u then we hear certain types of fish have too much mercury, they are not to be eaten. Then i eat papaya in the morning as they say that's good for me right? .... Well i`m so glad to hear that, i sometimes eat 2, then i hear NO, u cannot do that, too much sugar you are to squeeze lime on it to make it alkaline....... and eat a half of a papaya, NOT 2!!!PURE CONFUSION!
We know sugar is bad for u as cancer follows sugar, so we use the substitutes and learn THEY cause cancer, solution - wean yourself off sweet. Anything bleached out white cannot be good for u...... but don`t bother with the brown one either and if u must, try moderation, one teaspoon, not 3 tablespoons of sugar.
ONE OF THE FIRST RULES OF EATING PROPERLY IS TO CUT OUT EVERYTHING WHITE, WHITE SUGAR, WHITE FLOUR AND WHITE RICE......IT'S ALSO THE EASIEST WAY TO START LOSING WEIGHT!

Step#5 EAT FRUIT IN THE MORNING OR SKIP THE MORNING MEAL
From "THE RAW SECRETS" by Frederic Patenaude

The morning meal is the easiest to switch to raw. Most people find that once they start listening to their bodies ,they are actually not truly hungry in the morning .
I`ve watched how many children generally don`t eat in the mornings if they are left to themselves and not being force-fed.
My suggestion is that u can skip the morning meal altogether or replace it with a smoothie or some fruit.I know that this goes against all the advice you`ve heard about " never skipping meals" or that breakfast is the most important meal of the day" what i`m telling u is that this advice isn`t based on any solid facts.
The breakfast is when u break the fast of the night and this doesn`t have to be till noon. In fact the French word for breakfast means lunch because for thousands of years the French didn`t eat in the morning. When they started doing so, they had to come up with a new word for that meal so they called it "small breakfast"(petit dejeuner)
Skipping the morning meal or eating some fruit will help u get in touch with your true sense of hunger, which will make it easier to eat raw. Plus,it will be good for a while to help u detox and lose some weight ( if that's an issue for u)
As you start excercising more, you will eventually get hungry in the morning, believe me!

Interesting, eat your fruit in the morning, and remember when eating melon, eat ONLY melon....its a fruit that shouldn`t be mixed!
