Le diet

What I have people who have had eating disorders do USUALLY is go vegetarian. But I do not want you to do that with the PCOS (I know I gave a different answer in one of your other threads but you didn't mention the PCOS)

Instead, I want you to increase intake of fruit, vegetables (including potatoes and sweet potatoes for calories) and whole grains. Eat more full fat dairy and eggs, fish or shellfish 2x a week, and a small serving of chicken or turkey for dinner on the days you are not eating fish. (like about the size of a deck of cards) Cut back on sugar intake. Have 3 or even 4 meals a day. This is much different from all day eating which sways blue.

Do NOT count calories. Just change your eating in these ways and it will still help sway pink for you.

I eat 2 meals a day, 800 cal each, so 1600 cal per day. I am losing 1lb a week doing this so if you don't want to lose weight because of your eating disorder you need to eat more than 1600 cal per day, probably at least 2000!

Does this sound ok? Breakfast - toast and fruit, lunch- maybe eggs or a sandwich with a yoghurt and then dinner .. just seeing is it ok to have ur snacks with ur meals rather than throughout the the day? Or no treats sugary food at all?

Thanks so much. Yeah I am unsure if I have it or not because one doctor said I did and another said I did not :(

I eat onions a in curries is that safe? Also avocados and oranges? Sorry for asking so many questions x

Last q... can I still eat 3 nutritious meals ? Just read it should be less nutrients when swaying girl :(

If you really have PCOS then you may need to eat more protein and fewer carbs. (so possibly not fruit and toast for breakfast, you would need to have some protein there)

Have your snacks with meals. PCOS means you need to cut way back on sugar.

Onions and garlic, some people try to cut them out but I personally doubt they sway much if at all - too many people eat them all around the world and the gender ratio stays at 50-50 in every country!

Yes, you can still eat 3 meals a day. That is fine. All that means is to cut out things like fortified foods like cereal and power bars and stuff like that.

Hi thank you:) So what could I eat for breakfast? I usually have wholemeal with seeds toast or porridge. I read oats are a no no for girl sway though

Emz, you are pregnant right now, yes? I am not sure it's imperative to get your breakfast for a year from now worked out LOL.

IF you even have PCOS, then you may need to cut back on carbs. You are going to have to keep somewhat of an eye on your diet overall - if you're eating lots of carbs in other areas then you may not want to have the toast, if you aren't, then you can have it. It is overall what you're eating day in and day out - for PCOS, you want less carbs overall, and the carbs that you are eating should be fruits, veg, or whole grains. But I can't tell you from here HOW MUCH of those to eat in one day. That, you have to use some of your own judgement on.
