    Happy Holidays everyone Planning to very loosely begin PCOS LE diet after Christmas and go more "hard core" after buying a plan around April..anyone have good tips for estimating quantities, or is the only way to know reading ingredients/keeping track? I have no idea at this point what, say, 50 g of protein looks like. I want to stay within limits but worry about getting obsessive with counting. Thanks for any tips :P

    I often wonder this! I’m not swaying at the moment but when I start the diet I obviously want to keep track so I know I’m within the limits. I have downloaded the app my fitness pal, but I find it a bit tricky to use and it’s not always accurate with portion size. I’ll be interested to see what advice you get!

    Good luck for next year with your pink sway.

    Just read the ingredients and keep track, but you'll only need to do it for a few days before you'll start to recall about how much protein, fat, cals is in the things you eeat the most of. It is really quite a lot easier than you think it will be.

    My advice is just to use paper and pen. It takes less time than figuring out MFP and the quantities are more reliable since you're getting them straight from the package and not from info that someone else may have entered incorrectly.

    Thanks! I'll give it a go starting Jan 1 Hope you (and everyone else) enjoyed the holidays. Does LE diet-pcos version include the same "restrictions" re minimal snacking and skipping breakfast (if one chooses to include that)?

    Thank you! You too!

    Yes with PCOS-type LE Diet you still need to avoid snacks and skip or push back breakfast by a couple hours.

    One more for you....I see that PCOS diets in general seem to avoid caffeine? I know you can't answer for a specific individual until you go over their history, etc., but in general--weighing in PCOS-tendencies (only cysts and weird/absent periods), would you avoid?

    Thanks again!

    We don't do that on here. We have regular coffee with PCOS + an otherwise PCOS-friendly diet.

    The advice to avoid caffeine is based on some old studies that coffee raised blood sugar (temporarily). But these were badly done studies and subsequent studies have found that over time, coffee actually improves insulin response and helps prvent Type 2 diabetes. We have great results using coffee for pink sways with PCOS. But def. follow a PCO-friendly diet...don't just add on massive sugary lattes onto a very carby diet and expect it to help your sway. Unsweetened coffee with a PCO-friendly diet.
