Fasting and Cancer Diet

A Metabolic Strategy to Starve Cancer and Support Healing

Introduction: Why Your Diet Matters

Cancer cells thrive on sugar (glucose), certain amino acids from protein (like glutamine and methionine), and iron. When you control these fuels, you make it harder for cancer to grow and spread.

Combining fasting, low-carb, moderate-protein, low-iron, and high-healthy-fat eating creates a metabolic environment where cancer struggles — while your healthy cells stay strong. This approach can boost your immune system, increase autophagy (your body’s natural clean-up system), and support recovery alongside medical treatment.

How Fasting Works

Fasting means eating less often, which helps your body switch from burning sugar to burning fat for fuel — a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body makes ketones that healthy cells use well but most cancer cells can’t.

When you stay fasted long enough, your body also increases autophagy.

What Is Autophagy?

Autophagy is your body’s way of clearing out broken or dangerous cells. During ketosis and fasting, autophagy helps:

The fasting and cancer diet acts as a powerful detox for your cells.

Remove precancerous or mutated cells
Break down cancer cell debris
Reset damaged mitochondria
Reduce inflammation

It’s like giving your body a daily internal scrub—cancer cells hate it, but your healthy cells thrive.

Daily Rhythm: How to Structure Your Day

Here’s a simple plan:

Time	Phase	Purpose
Morning	Fasted oxidative therapy	Starve cancer, promote autophagy
Afternoon	OMAD + antioxidants	Fuel healthy cells, support recovery
Evening	Gut repair (bone broth)	Heal gut lining, reset for next cycle

Morning: Stay fasted to keep glucose low and oxidative stress high for cancer cells.
Afternoon: Eat One Meal A Day (OMAD) within a 1–2 hour window.
Evening: Sip bone broth (“Bone Glue”) if needed for gut healing — but only after your oxidative kill window.

How Much Protein and Iron Should You Eat?

Protein: Keep your protein about half of 0.39 grams per pound of body weight.

Example: If you weigh 150 pounds, aim for around 29–30 grams per day. This low-to-moderate level supports autophagy while giving your body enough to maintain strength.

Iron: Cancer cells thrive on iron. Keep your daily iron intake around 8 mg for men and up to 13 mg for women, unless your doctor says otherwise. Always monitor your labs to avoid anemia

Test	Why It Matters
WBC	Immune strength
RBC	Red blood health
Hemoglobin	Oxygen transport
Hematocrit	Blood volume integrity
RDW	Inflammation/deficiency
Lymphocytes	Immune targeting
Immature Grans	Early immune response

These markers help me adjust protein/iron intake safely.

Gut Health: The Role of Bone Broth

Radiation, fasting, and oxidative stress can irritate your gut lining. Bone broth — often called “Bone Glue” — is rich in collagen, gelatin, and amino acids like glycine that help:

Soothe gut inflammation
Rebuild the gut barrier
Support your body’s overall recovery

Tip: Sip bone broth during your non-fasting recovery phase in the evening, not during your morning oxidative therapy window, so you don’t feed cancer at the wrong time.

Sample Cancer-Diet Recipes (Portioned for 150 lb)

Note: I am not a chef — these are simple meal ideas to show you how to keep your protein and iron in check. With a little research, you can find or create even better keto recipes that fit this plan. Just keep the same principles: high healthy fats, low carbs, moderate protein, and low iron.

Approved Foods: Eat This, Not That

Fats (priority):

MCT oil, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil
Ghee, grass-fed butter (if tolerated)
Avocado, macadamia nuts, pecans

Protein (low iron, moderate portions):

Shrimp, scallops, cod, white fish
Small amounts of dark poultry or eggs if you stay within your iron goal

Veggies & Herbs:

Zucchini, cucumber, celery, sprouts, parsley, cilantro, arugula

Fermented (small amounts):

Coconut yogurt, raw sauerkraut

Sweets:

Homemade cocoa butter fat bombs with monk fruit
Unsweetened coconut flakes

Avoid:

Red meat, organ meats, iron-fortified cereals
High-iron greens (like spinach)
High-carb foods (bread, rice, sugar)

Sample Cancer-Diet Recipes (Portioned for 150 lb)

Cancer-Diet Burrito (Extra Option)

Low-protein, high-fat, OMAD-friendly.

Ingredients (Serves 2):
Wrap:

¼ cup coconut flour
2 eggs
¼ cup water
1 tbsp olive oil

Small macadamia handful (15 g) → ~1.2 g protein, ~0.5 mg iron

Total: ~24–26 g protein, ~3–4 mg iron.
Plenty of healthy fats to keep you full and in ketosis.

Monitoring Your Progress

Track your bloodwork every few weeks or as recommended:

WBC (White Blood Cells): Shows immune strength
Hemoglobin/Hematocrit: Tracks oxygen delivery
RDW & Ferritin: Check for iron issues
Lymphocytes: Measure immune activity

Always work with your doctor to adjust if needed.

Final Reminder

This plan isn’t a miracle cure — but it’s a smart metabolic tool to help starve cancer cells, protect your healthy ones, and boost your immune system.
Stay disciplined, check your labs, and make sure your healthcare team knows what you’re doing so you stay safe.

The Dirty Keto Cheese-Wrapped Burrito

This burrito is a high-protein, low-carb, dirty keto treat designed for anyone following a ketogenic, fasting, or metabolic cancer-fighting plan. It’s a delicious way to refuel without blowing your carb limit — and it swaps the usual tortilla for a crispy, melty cheese wrap that keeps you firmly in ketosis.

Why it works:
✔️ Protein supports muscle, immune cells, and healthy recovery.
✔️ Fats keep you energized and full for hours.
✔️ Carbs stay low enough to avoid blood sugar spikes.
✔️ Autophagy naturally slows during high-protein meals — so it’s best used as an occasional “refeed” meal once or twice a week, especially if you’re cycling fasting or OMAD.

Whether you’re fighting cancer, staying keto for weight loss, or just want a hearty, satisfying meal that won’t undo your progress — this cheese-wrapped burrito is a powerful tool in your plan.
