That does help, thank you!! Just to clarify, whole grain bread, pasta, quinoa, brown rice are fine to have within limits?
I read in the PCOS diet that white rice and potatoes are good to have in the diet. Is that true for what I need to be following ?
-
Yes, within limits.
Potatoes are fine. White rice is ok if you really can't stand the other stuff (it's vastly superior to white bread, cakes, cookies, that sort of thing) or if you don't tolerate brown well, but I would not go crazy eating gobs of just white rice. Have it as an ingredient with stir fries rather than just a plate of plain white rice.

Hi, since I’m
Doing the PCOS diet do you think I would benefit from taking myo inositol?
-
Nope, at your weight you do not need it. You also don't actually have PCOS, but are on the alt. diet due to thyroid stuff, and don't need myo for that reason either.

Is this folate supplement good for me to start on? It’s 1000mcg Methyl Folate
-
I prefer smaller doses over the course of the day to make sure you are always having some available for absorption. I'd get a 400 and take one in the morning, one at noon, and one with dinner.

Ok. Is the methyl folate the one I need just in smaller dosage?
Also, Ive been tracking my meals and I’m getting around 1200cals 60g of fat and protein and around 70g of carbs. I eat around noon (two slices of 12 grain bread with cheddar cheese, veggies, and Mayo). For dinner, I’ll have quinoa with feta and veggies. I drink crystal light and Coke Zero (2-3 servings) in between to help with hunger and I have a black coffee in the morning. No snacking and no chocolate or treats. Anything I should change?
-
Yes just get a smaller dose of methlyfolate.
Very few people need that little food, are you losing too much weight? Noticing any changes in your cycle?
You do not need and shouldn't take myoinositol.

You are petite so would certainly be in the group that might need fewer calories, but just want to be sure we're not cutting back too far.
