Researchers want to understand whether a ketogenic diet—a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan—can change the environment surrounding breast cancer tumors. This small study will ask women with early-stage breast cancer to follow a ketogenic diet for 3 weeks before their scheduled surgery, then examine their tumor tissue to see if the diet made any difference.
Some early research suggests that dietary changes might affect how tumors grow and how the body's immune system responds to cancer. This study is trying to understand whether the ketogenic diet might create conditions that are less favorable for breast cancer—knowledge that could eventually help doctors develop better treatment strategies.

You will meet with a dietitian who will teach you about the ketogenic diet and provide educational materials. For 3 weeks before your surgery, you will follow this diet while keeping a daily diary of what you eat and your physical activity. You will also measure your blood sugar and ketone levels at home each day using a simple test, and log these results using an app on your smartphone. After 3 weeks, you will have your scheduled breast surgery as planned.
