    My lunch during my work week is almost always the same--a giant green salad with a protein of some kind. On my days off, I usually have fish or shrimp and a green veggie with a small salad. It sounds boring, but with changing up dressings and proteins, it stays fresh.

    I've been doing this since last Nov. Now, if I miss more than 2 days of having a salad, I begin to CRAVE green stuff. It's crazy--because this time last year, I might have had 2-3 green veggies per week. Now, I have that or more each day.

    For dinner, I aim for a low-carb main dish (many come from the two books below), and at least two veggies with one being green. A few times a week, I have whole grain rice or pasta. But, I've cut all other breads and pastas completely.

    Low Carb Cookbooks I enjoy:
    http://www.amazon.com/15-Minute-Low-Carb-Recipes-Instant-Desserts/dp/159233041X
    http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Dinner-Low-Carb-Way-Shopping/dp/0345478061/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332442701&sr=1-1

    http://www.kalynskitchen.com/ is a blog focused on South Beach eating has a great variety of nice recipes.

    Here is also a great list of recipes that would work too: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-recipes/#axzz1prOzz0JI

    You could also go to pinterest and search for paleo or primal recipes and find lots of great ideas. Here's my "in the kitchen" board on pinterst--filled with ideas that are PCOS-friendly: http://pinterest.com/amanda47/in-the-kitchen/

    Just gave myself a Google primer on what diet is good to follow for PCOS, and mine seems to be pretty good. Feel free to browse my diary and ask if you see a recipe you want.

    Thank you everyone. :)
    I was also wondering is it best to have low carbs for lunch or dinner? And with fruits containing natural sugars is there a certain time of day where it'd be best to have them?

    I have PCOS and hugs are in order first. *HUGS* I post my recipes on my blog here: rillsmenu.com

    You're welcome to any of them. Some are more PCOS friendly than others but I like variety and do my best to make them as good as possible.
