Low Carb - How many per day?
I have PCOS and am in testing for insulin resistance/diabetes so was told to eat a low carb diet but I have been finding conflicting info on what is considered "low carb". I was told 90-150 carbs a day (from all foods) or no more than 30 carbs a day (from grains)...what do you all do that works???

Cholesterol and Fiber Intake
I have borderline high cholesterol (don't take medication yet) but my doctor told me to eat more fibre, less meat products and come back in a few months...I am just wondering if it is bad to eat too much fibre because I am going over almost every day on this category (but my cholesterol is always below my limit)...I just…
