Nutrition concerns for women with breast cancer - VI

Vegetarian diet

Although well-planned vegetarian diets tend to be low in fat, high in fibre and include a variety of vegetables and fruit, it's not necessary for women with breast cancer to stop eating meat. Lean meats in small amounts can be healthy.

If you’re following a vegetarian diet, talk to a registered dietitian about whether you need to take dietary supplements to get enough nutrients to stay healthy during and after treatment.
