[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have PCOS? I’d start with a GYN. Also you all probably don’t eat very healthily if you all are severely overweight. [/quote]

OP - I said in the original post that we have had PCOS ruled out. She's been seeing a gyn for several years.

We do eat healthily. I am not overweight and neither is the rest of my family. DH's parents were as is his sister. They actually didn't eat "badly" either at all but his parents were French and did consume a lot of fat in their diets and I think the US food system reacted badly to them because they weren't overweight before they moved to the US despite eating essentially the same foods. DH wasn't overweight for years but then switched jobs in 2020 and began having a lot more stress and less time to exercise and eat at home.

Happy to give you a sample "diet" of what my 16yo eats because I can guarantee that it isn't about her current diet.

Breakfast - nf greek yogurt with raspberries, a bit of granola or nuts/seeds for crunch, or 2 eggs with avocado, slice of ezekiel toast, or similar.
Lunch is usually a salad with protein, or a grain bowl. She does eat out for lunch most days because she's allowed to leave school for lunch. She will also often take leftovers for lunch.
Dinner is a protein (chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, occasionally lean steak like hangar) with 2-3 vegetables such as roasted broccoli, green beans, squash, etc. Occasionally sweet potatoes or winter squash, sometimes something like a stir fry with rice.

She doesn't snack, really ever. She's never been a snacker. She does occasionally have a bit of ice cream or sorbet after dinner, or air popped popcorn with seasoning, or some chocolate (good quality dark chocolate and not a lot).

I did ask for experience and not judgment but I don't think you can help yourselves. I'm trying to help my child here, not create lifelong complexes or set her up for failure.  [/quote]
