Food Question
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Which types of fruit and vegetables are best for us?

I like plain stuff, if i eat cauliflower, i just eat potatoes and cauliflower for example. I dont like making things that take hours to prepare.

I dont eat meat, fish or any other animal. I am a vegetarian, i only eat eggs, drink milk. I eat veggie burgers and alike.

Vegetables (spinach, potatoes)

Raw cacao (my favorite source of magnesium!)

2. Vitamin D

A good resource for you since your English is impeccable: draxe.com. Really reliable & informative resource you can use to find out more about the foods @A myPCOSteam Member showed you, or about fiber, Omega-3s, antioxidants, etc. Dr. Axe is my go-to source for anything & everything food/herbs/fungus. Plus, he has a Judeo-Christian leaning so guaranteed everything you see on his site his wholesome, and he even includes sometimes tidbits about Biblical food history!
