Thanks so much for the video link! I just want to say that I live in Antofagasta Chile and that Chile as a whole is a very poor country. As in many countries, it is a small percentage of people who have all the money. The minimum wage here is $200.000 chilean pesos. Imagine $200 every month as your pay for working 35-40…

I've never been tested for PCOS so I am not sure. The side effects are normal and have passed now but I just need help with a few food ideas. Also some support with anyone going through the same thing would be nice. Diabetics are also told to eat bread, rice and potatoes so I'm not concerned. The amounts I am allowed are…
