I worry about my cholesterol and sodium levels

this has not worked for me. at the time I put the weight on, I was exercising daily and I have always not eaten "enough", the type of person who can go a day without food because I don't feel like eating when I'm not hungry. Going from that to actively trying to minimize how much I eat + exercise, neither worked for me.

I have asked my doctor, she was very adamant that it doesn't matter what or how I eat (literally to every question I asked). She didn't even tell me about the cruciferous/soy etc. issue, I actually read that myself. When I told her I was working on my feet 40 hours + commuting 4-5 hours a day and only eating salads for…

I may or may not have PCOS, I was told that I do not show enough symptoms needed for an official diagnosis. I experienced consistently rapid weight gain (30 pounds) over the first 4 months that my cycle 'stopped' until I began treatment.

Updating, after adjusting my quantities I am left with 1g fat deficit and 1g sugar deficit, however with a large 500 calorie deficit. I have 1 cup of salad with 3 oz. of chicken breast for lunch, and 1 cup of mixed vegetables with 3 oz. of chicken breast for dinner. Surely I will tire of the chicken but I do not like much…

Thank you for this suggestion, I did pick up honey as a sugar alternative because I am weary of the 'truvia, equal, splenda' etc types of sweeteners because they are unfamiliar to me. Surely I can stop drinking coffee as an option however I am a college student and will most likely have difficulty staying away from it, so…

Thank you. I believe the WalMart "Great Value" bag of frozen fruit says no sugar added. I will try to find a more natural peanut butter as well however for ease and budget I am listing things that I can easily find. I am avoiding Carb foods as well, I will only consume what is picked up via vegetables and etc.
