Yes small amounts of meat are fine especailly on the PCOS-type diet.
There's not a specific limit as different dieters have different needs. Let your weight loss be your guide, if it's flying off, eat more carbs, if it's not, cut carbs.
I would not recommend something to you that swayed blue, of course. Of 13 people who took it, 12 got girls. I can't recommend it for most people as it makes them lose too much weight (so please anyone reading this thnking "I like those odds LOL" please don't take it unless you clear it with me first) but I do believe it sways pink for those who can take it.

Awesome! I’m going to keep things as I have them then with my diet.
I usually lose weight with whole grains, even have with very small amounts of white carbs here and there, but that was also on a 1000-1200 calorie diet so I guess I will see how things go this time around!
Is coffee ok on the alt diet? I usually get a iced coffee with almond milk and two sweet n lows from Starbucks.
For future reference if I do need to cut out carbs, what is a good alternative to up cals? I’ve tried (for a day) to completely cut out bread and whole grains and always went over in protein and fat.
Thank you for the clarification on the myo, I was honestly confused as to what it was and what it was used for, but that makes sense being that I have a bit of weight to lose. ( and I do like those odds) now just to find it. I’ve been googling it, the things that pop up are myoinositol and inositol, are they the same thing?
Thank you again for answering my questions! I appreciate it

Yes if you reduce cals enough you'll lose weight even eating birthday cake but we want this to be a healthy diet.
Coffee is ok and so is almond milk BUT do be aware that sometimes in Starbucks-type drinks, the "almond milk" in it is actually quite a large serving (so 1-2 cups of almond milk) which often has quite a lot of cals and nutrition in it. Just be sure the almond milk is just there to whiten up the coffee a little and is not like a lattee where the milk is the main drink and the coffee is practically a flavoring agent.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh fruit, and fat.
What limit were you using for protein and fat?
there are a couple forms of inositol, d-chiro and myo. The body makes the d-chiro version from the myoinositol and some think people with PCOS ~may~ have ~slightly~ less ability to make the d-chiro. BUT the thing is, if you take enough myo, you can make enough d-chiro ANYWAY even if you do have less ability than average to make d-chiro. And most "myoinositol" supps have some d-chiro in it and so I just use myoinositol to make it easier on everyone rather than launching into an unneccesary explanation (since if we take enough, even those with impaired ability to convert can still make it and most have both in them to start with.)

Yes I definitely want this one to be healthy! I’m trying to give everything my best shot this time around without barely eating!
My coffee is usually pretty dark, I’m not sure how much they put in but for now on I’m going to be sure to say just a little almond milk. I also don’t know if they used sweetened almond milk or unsweetened, if they used sweetened, do you recommend cutting the almond milk out? I don’t want to inadvertently be having something I shouldn’t.
My fat and protein have both been 57-60 daily. That’s not including the protein and fat in my veggies.
I’m going to try to find the myo on Amazon. Most things I’m finding are like a powder to put in drinks. Like fertility support and they’re about 35$ the only myo’s that I found are around 24-30$ is that about the going rate? I found just inositol capsules for around 8$ but they’re not myo.
At this point after my loss my husband is fine with spending the 30$ if that means better egg quality!

if it's sweetened I'd have it with a meal.
Those are good amounts of pro and fat, but if you have to go up to 65 that's not the end of the world! Still likely very different than when you got boys.
Yes the myoinositol is a powder, that's how it comes most of the time. I've honestly not ever purchased it myself and not sure what people are paying, I know the brand names are higher than that, though.

I actually ordered my coffee black with sweet n low today and it wasn’t bad, I’ll probably continue to do that!
I literally used to eat absolutely horrendous before I conceived my son. I actually ate more protein and fat then what is recommended on the HE diet! It was bad!!!
are hard shelled tacos ok to eat on this diet? Obviously not all the time but once in a while?
I’ve found myo pill form, the only powder I found was fertility support, I guess it has myo in it and they just renamed it? The one is fairhaven myo-folate and the other powder is premama fertility support. I should just go to a store and see if they have it at this point lol

You can have some kind of cream or milk in the coffee, it doesn't have to be totaly black!
Hard shell tacos are fine - ate em when I got my girl.
If you post a link I'l tell you if they're ok or not.

I actually don’t really mind it black, I have unsweetened almond milk at home I could always add. Would adding milk or cream be more beneficial? I think I read somewhere in here that almond milk sways, do cream and milk sway too?
These are a few I found online! There’s a lot of cheaper inositol but I don’t know if that’s the right kind.

Sorry to hijack, but Atomic - is there a benefit in taking myo even if you don't have PCOS and weight to lose?

No they're all fine, whatever your preference is.
Same with the inositol, all those are a-ok. Reliable name brands are what we want!

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
