Question Diet Issues

Hi,
I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago when I was 20. I found out I had it after putting on loads of weight even though my diet hadn't changed so I went to the docs and it turned out to be PCOS. I have since had my first baby (after 3 years of trying naturally and then 6 months of fertility treatment).
The two symptoms of PCOS that cause me the most trouble are weight gain and my skin breaking out. I want to get started on a whole new diet in the new year to lose some weight and get my skin looking healthy again but I'm struggling with what meals I should be making etc as I am also vegetarian. I bought a couple of books on PCOS a couple of years ago but a lot of the recommended meals aren't vegetarian so it's hard to stick to a healthy diet that controls the hormone imbalances etc...

Does anyone know some simple but healthy vegetarian recipes that are low in sugar etc or anyone know of any books etc that can help me?

I have already done well to lose 30 kilo's since the birth of my daughter but I have about another 20 kilo's to go until I'm at a healthy weight.
