How to Know What Foods to Eat

One of the best ways to know which foods increase your blood-sugar levels is the glycemic index (www.glycemicindex.com). This index lists foods according to how they affect your blood-sugar levels. The higher the number, the more it increases your blood sugar. The lower the food is on the index, the less it affects your blood sugar.
So the general rule with cancer is this — avoid sugar — and all the foods listed high on the glycemic index — as much as possible. Instead, focus on low-glycemic vegetables, as well as meats, fish, and poultry.
Eat All the Good Fats You Want
Some health gurus say you should limit the amount of fat you consume. I don’t place any restriction on the amount of healthy fats you should eat. But notice I said “healthy fats.”
Healthy fats include monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and coconut oil. They also include animal fats, as long as the animals are not fed grain. This includes fish, lamb, free-range chicken, grass-fed cows, and eggs that come from free-range chickens.
