Get rid of the granola (loaded with calories), steel cut oats and brown rice.  Too much starch and carbs.  You need more protein.  How about a green smoothie with unsweetened almond milk and an egg for breakfast? And no processed sugar, no candy bars.  Just cut them completely out.  Have a piece of dark chocolate instead, a small piece.

Steel cut oats and brown rice are fine...you just need to avoid the "white" carbs.  You need some level of carbs especially if you are building muscle.  Obviously don't make them your primary calorie source, but a serving of brown rice to go with your chicken is perfectly fine.  Keep protein intake to about double your carb intake and you should be fine.[/quote]

I disagree.  Once her system is hormonally balanced and not insulin resistant, she can add a sensible amount of rice a day and it doesn't even need to be brown.  For now she's looking to make the weight loss happen, and would welcome diminished cravings and no hunger, I assume.  She can get plenty plenty of carbs from really healthy vegetables. Rice every other day with one meal should be fine but at this stage rice twice a day not good. [/quote]

It doesn't have to be twice a day, but daily is fine...and brown carbs are better than white processed carbs because they have a lower glycemic index so it takes your body longer to convert them into sugar. I don't think OP is diabetic...or did she mention that earlier? [/quote]
