I am going to tell you on this schedule what to give her. Where is her lunch? I assume 1030am is her breakfast? Please ensure the following because of her age and PCOS:

1) Try and cook all fresh food for her. Try as much as you can, no leftovers, if possible.
2) No fat free, etc. Anything you eat (cheese, paneer, youghurt should be full fat)
3) Ensure she writes down everything she eats. What u can do is for 15 days, private message me her daily recall. I will help u out for 15 days.
4) get all the vitamins and start her on it asap.
5) Ensure u use 1 spoon of ghee daily. She needs this for her hair and skin and joints.
6) allow her one cheat meal per week. Anything she wants. Typically on a sunday or so, for lunch, let her have pizza, samosa, sweets, any one thing for either lunch or eat the prescribed lunch and have that as her first afternoon snack meal.
7) Drink 4-5 L water daily.

8.00am- one glass of plain milk and B complex and B6 supplements

10:00am am-1 roti/veggie sabzi and DAAL (she needs her protein here). Put ghee on roti. (not a crazy amt, but a spoon). Alternatively, if she eats eggs, I would really like to see her have 2 egg whites and 1-2 slices of whole wheat toast instead.

12 pm- handful of unsalted peanuts

2pmLUNCH): roti/sabzi/daal OR if need something quick do veggie poha(add coconut chutney to this) or vegetable and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread (flaxseed oil supplement)

4pm: any 1 fresh fruit

6.00 pm- assume she is home by then. pualo or rice +yoghurt+sabzi (stick to 6 tabelspoons of rice)
(evening primrose oil supplement)
830/9.00 pm- grilled paneer or grilled chicken

At bedtime take calcium supplement

Let me know if that would work and if not, PM me, we can work this out better.
I will also send you the packages I offer, I do online consulting. It may be a good idea to get her on track for a few months.

Hi Nutritiondiva

Nice post.

My daughter also has PCOS. Request you to give me the name of the supplements available in the medical shops at Chennai. This will be very useful since we can purchase it without any ambiguity.

Thanks
Lalitha

Hi NutritionDiva,
Thanks for such a detailed explanation. I am glad that you have included Paneer, Milk and Egg in your plan.
I had few queries about this diet (and I would be glad and ready to start after ur confirmation )

Queries:-
1. can I eat whole boiled egg(i.e both white and yellow portion) in Meal 2.
2. when I found about suffering from Pcos, i read a lot of diets in net. They all suggested to avoid dairy products. So is it safe to have milk(in Meal 1 and Meal 8) and paneer.
Should i have low fat milk?
(I know you have mentioned to have complete protein and to avoid anything saying low fat but I am just so afraid now, I want to clarify before trying. )
3. Is paneer safe because it is another form of milk?

My details: 29 yrs old, first sign of hormonal imbalance was arnd the age of 22, staying in US for past 2yrs(as a student- starting my studies after a long gap... so a bit stressed out)
I am 5ft 2inch , 68 kg

I love Indian food but they are not exactly local here

Awaiting for your reply.Thanks in advance !
