The main part of your food should come from proteins such as meat, seafood, and eggs. And, good sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats like olive oil, canola oil, nuts, and avocados.
Next you want to eat phytonutrient rich leafy green and brightly colored vegetables like tomatoes, romaine lettuce, artichokes, eggplant, broccoli, green beans and more
Supplement with delicious cheeses, nuts, seeds, butter, and low glycemic fruits
Use VERY rarely bread, potatoes, pasta, sweets, rice, and high sugar fruits like bananas, pineapples or oranges

I've added a link to this post in the sticky So You Want to Lose Weight.... it definately gives anyone new to low carbing a clear visual picture of a low carb diet and how it differs to what they may have been eating!

Thanks!!! That is very helpful for a newbie like me. One question though... I don't like to eat much meat (I used to be vegetarian but have been trying to eat meat some for health reasons.) Do you have any suggestions for a non-meat protein diet for if I do end up finding out that I have PCOS? | |

That pyramid is a great help! I'm a beginner on the low carb diet, and I'm making my first grocery list. That (and a few other resources I've found) definitely help. | |
