Not everyone will understand my choice to switch up my diet, but I’m okay with that.
Make sure and watch to the end to hear my full explanation of this change in my diet, why I did it, how I did it, etc…

I think this is a great thing! I have always admired people who can do a plant- based diet, but it was never for me. As a Texan, I love my bbq, egg and bacon breakfast tacos, ribs, hamburgers, chicken quesadillas, grilled salmon, and steak. It's part of my DNA. It brings me joy in this life! I don't eat them a lot. I lean a lot more towards chicken on a regular basis. Everything in moderation, a healthy balance. Don't be deterred by the KZfaq "nutritionists" Thanks for sharing Meredith. We support you. This is your body and your life!❤😊

Unless you have been told that and given that type of diagnosis, you really can’t understand or relate. We have to take care of our bodies in a way that also allows us to live well, with the best quality of life that we can have.

Everyone is different, every cancer journey is different. Thanks for sharing, and I thought your sourdough looked beautiful! I just had two skin biopsies done which came benign… so happy, and this marks 15 years melanoma free for me. Have a great week!❤

I just found this study done by the NIH published January 30, 2024. Vegan diets versus Keto diets changes to the immune system. Remember, the immune system is designed to look for, hunt down, and kill cancer. "Switching to vegan or ketogenic diet rapidly impacts immune system, study shows" "According to the authors, the results of this study demonstrate that the immune system responds surprisingly rapidly to nutritional interventions. The authors suggest that it may be possible to tailor diets to prevent disease or complement disease treatments, such as by slowing processes associated with cancer or neurodegenerative disorders." "Each person ate as much as desired of one diet (vegan or keto) for two weeks, followed by as much as desired of the other diet for two weeks. People on the vegan diet, which contained about 10% fat and 75% carbohydrates, chose to consume fewer calories than those on the keto diet, which contained about 76% fat and 10% carbohydrates." "Switching exclusively to the study diets caused notable changes in all participants. The vegan diet significantly impacted pathways linked to the innate immune system, including antiviral responses. On the other hand, the keto diet led to significant increases in biochemical and cellular processes linked to adaptive immunity, such as pathways associated with T and B cells." medicalxpress.com/news/2024-01-vegan-ketogenic-diet-rapidly-impacts.html My mom had T-cell lymphoma. Doctors here told her that it was a very rare form of cancer and that as soon as she felt well enough she would start chemo. She never felt well enough.

When I was first diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2016, I went to an oncology nutritionist. She said to eat a well balanced diet of meat, carbs and vegetables. She also said sugar doesn't promote cancer growth, it's a myth that I verified with 3 other oncologists. Eat what makes you happy and feel better. You'll get all kinds of advice. It's your life to live however you like. Enjoy!

My mother is 89-yrs old and one of her favourite foods is McDonalds fries 🍟 she has never been sick she isn’t diabetic and never exercises … she’s just lucky 🍀 but all I’m saying is I don’t think your varied diet gave you cancer and look at you now sweetie ❤ you’re doing wonderful ❤️❤️

Just an inquisitive question in regards to your cancer treatment and journey. If you have two areas in your body that haven't progressed or grown in so many years, is radiation or even surgical resection to remove what's visibly left now an option? Not saying your doctor is wrong or you're going about the treatment the wrong way, just curious if anything has changed with how you're fighting this disease.
@Meredith_Feira
@Meredith_Feira 4 ай бұрын
This is definitely a question that I’ve asked. From what I understand, they feel confident that my immune system is still doing its thing. So they don’t want to put me through a surgery or radiation. Originally they thought the cancer was only on my lung, and they were planning to remove it surgically before starting immunotherapy. But since it was in other places, going straight to treatment made more sense.

I think everyone should do what makes them comfortable and feels right for THEM. I understand your point of view, I respect it, and I just hope that others show the same respect to me as I’m doing what feels right for me. ❤️

I feel you should eat however you feel is working for you. Not everyone is the same. I’ve seen several people on KZfaq who ate a plant based diet, many for years, including Jenny Apple. She still got cancer and no amount of plant based foods could help her. I have followed several others too. I know people who have been on Keto diets and did well. So, yes, you will hear claims on both sides but I honestly believe it’s the person and possibly the type of cancer the person has. I don’t believe it one size fits all.

I was using Jenny as an example and perhaps that was the wrong choice of a person to use as an example here. I’ve know people and had a couple hard core vegan and vegetarian family members who developed cancer and had no gene mutations. Meats are only carcinogenic if they have nitrates, are cured or are cooked too well done. I’m not sure how eggs can cause cancer since they’ve been around since who knows when. We would all be dead by now if that was the case. But as I said before… everyone and everyone’s body is different. Please stop trying to make this person feel bad for her decisions.

I appreciate your concern. But to be honest, I personally haven’t noticed a difference between when I’m eating animal products and when I’m eating plant-based. My tumors have shrunk or stayed stable in both cases. And like I mention in the end of my video, it’s really about eating what makes me feel good, when it comes to living with stage 4 cancer. If I cut out everything in my diet that people have attributed to causing cancer, I literally couldn’t eat anything lol. So I try not to stress about it too much anymore… it’s not worth the stress (stress also isn’t good for cancer, so they say)
