Hi Everyone,

I was diagnosed with PCOS about two weeks ago after trying to conceive for nearly two years. My RE suggested that I change my diet and I will be meeting with a dietician next week. I've been a vegetarian for the last 12 years and my RE and family are saying that I will need to start eating meat again if I am to follow a diabetic diet as recommended. UGH! There has got to be a way to do this veggie style. Is there anyone out there with any suggestions? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

I have been a vegetarian for about a year. My gyno told me to keep it up, especially since I have high cholesterol, but to cut back on processed grains and starchy vegetables. So I eat mostly brown rice rather than white, fewer potatoes, things like that. I also don't eat too much fruit due to the high amount of natural sugar. My gyno also recommended the book The Schwartzbein Principle to me, and there is a vegetarian cookbook for it. I am not diabetic and only very slightly insulin resistant, but I feel very healthy eating like this and I have lost about 20 pounds.
