Jenn Simmons, MD explains why cancer patients quit restrictive diets within three months: they're hard to stick with. She argues that vegan, low-glycemic diets work only if they're actually palatable and emotionally acceptable, not just theoretically optimal.

Chapters

The best diet for a cancer patient is vegan, low glycemic. We work with doctors, nutritionists and chefs here to design a diet that is palatable for the patients. Because if you read the literature, the best diet for a cancer patient is vegan, low glycemic. And those are very hard, very difficult diets to do. You know, at the beginning, you're afraid and you this is I'm going to do. But at around three months, as if, is is this all I have to eat? Well, then I would rather die. So for us, the best diet is the one that you can do. And so we worked very diligently in developing diet, a diet that is doable, that is palatable, even fun, because diet is a very emotional thing.
