Sure I can help you
For breakfast try high fiber cereal w/ organic milk, almonds & walnuts (added protein and omega 3) and blueberries
For Snacks throughout the day eat Greek yogurt -- It has less sugar and carbs then regular yogurt and more protien since your a vegetarian
For lunch try greek salad -- this will also help with skin issues
Here's my recipe: Mustard Greens, Romaine Lettuce, Chopped Tomatoes, Black Olives, Feta Cheese, Chickpeas for protien and add any other veggies you like as well
For dressing try- Olive Oil, Lemon and some apple cider vinegar (for insulin resistance) Also add in Flax Seed Oil with Ligans that balances your hormones, aids with weight loss and will help with some of your skin issues
I don't know what your estrogen levels are but mine are low so I try to eat tofu twice a week with mixed veggies.. You can eat that.. also don't eat white bread or white rice..
Stick to brown rice, eat losts of beans, and try buckwheat for breads -- You can make a pizza out of it, using feta and goat cheese, and spinach artichoke and tomatoes
Your skin breaks out for several reasons one is elevated androgens and the other is it's your body's way of releasing toxins
If your diet consists of veggies, fruits, and whole grains, organic dairy and beans (don't know if you can eat fish.. but if you can ADD that it in, it's very important that you get enough protien) your skin should clear up
I'd also suggest taking saw pametto for lowering androgens and women's toner tea or women's liberty tea to aid in that and balance your hormones
Also take an Amino Acid supplement for protien and a good mutli vitamin, if your lacking in anything take an extra individual vitamin
Hope that helps! |
