[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was diagnosed with PCOS while a longtime vegetarian who was running marathons. It is possible for starch content to be too high for you, even eating whole plant foods. I also started losing hair which has been linked to insulin resistance, as is PCOS. I had brain fog.

On an omin diet with a lot of animal protein, my fasting insulin dropped and my hair grew back. My hypermobile joints also stabilized and brain fog went away.

If you are happy with weight and metabolic health as well as clarity and moods, keep on, OP. Otherwise, and probably for the sake of maximizing nutrients, I'd mix things up a bit. It's especially key to get bioavailable protein as we age, both for bones and to prevent sarcopenia. Eggs have a lot of choline, which protects the brain. Consider adding grilled chicken or salmon to the chickpeas, over greens. [/quote]

Not op, but I wish I could talk with you. I am a vegetarian with hyper mobile joints and some metabolic wackiness.[/quote]

Changing the food completely changed my health. Beef has a lot of bioavailable carnitine, my doctor suggested that may have been helpful. Not a sprain since. Hoping I don't end up with arthritis from prior damage. [/quote]
