PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility of following a low or medium glycemic load diet in patients with stage I-III (local-regional) colon cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine patient-reported acceptability of diet. II. To determine nutritionist resources utilized. III. To evaluate the effect of lowering dietary glycemic load on body mass index (BMI), lipid metabolism and pro-oncogenic intermediaries of cellular metabolism.
OUTLINE: Patients are sequentially enrolled in 1 of 4 possible cohorts as needed based on the feasibility of the prior cohort.
COHORT 1: Patients follow a low glycemic load diet with standard dietary intervention (contact with nutritionist in person every 2 weeks with phone contact on the alternating weeks) for 12 weeks.
COHORT 2: Patients follow a low glycemic load diet with intensified dietary intervention (contact with nutritionist in person every week) for 12 weeks.
COHORT 3: Patients follow a medium glycemic load diet with standard dietary intervention for 12 weeks.
COHORT 4: Patients follow a medium glycemic load diet with intensified dietary intervention for 12 weeks.
