Thanks, Tamhuka.
My doctor has run a metabolic profile and many other tests. Without going into too much detail, the items that them metabolic panel measure are all normal, the metabolite profile is normal, the hormones are largely wonky. I never asked about the cause of such a need for fat. She did hint at a slightly elevated CRP indicating a small amount of general inflammation in the body,

I have lots of weight that I haven't been able to shift because of some medical problems. So, I'm aiming for 1200 calories/day, but consistently falling short of that goal and hitting 1400 - 1500.
I'm taking so much fat in the form of omega-3's in part because of strong fat cravings, which weren't satisfied with avocado, nuts and seeds, or olive oil. My D.O. suggested that I continue to up t

Hi Alisonott,
I have a recent PCOS diagnosis, too. I'm not sure the diagnosis is correct though as some of my hormones aren't in line with what is usually seen in PCOS. I've only just started this diet, so I can't tell you about my experiences yet.
Losing 40 lb. is a huge deal with PCOS as it considerably alters your metabolism. It sounds like a move in the right direction. Is this too

Thanks, Bryan. I do keep track of my diet with Nutrient Data and a spread sheet. I get about 50 grams of fat a day, 16 of those from my omega-3 supplement. Why do you think an excess of raw fat is bad? I've always heard that it's animal, trans-, and cooked fats that are bad, but that you can't get too much raw fat.
Thanks, loeve. Are there any fruits high in iodine? I'd only heard that a

Thanks, Frances. I haven't had a bad reaction to anything. I just don't like fruit as much as veg. I never have. The only two fruits I would eat as a kid were apples and watermelon. However, I've never run into a vegetable I don't like.

Ohh, eddo with two d's. Yes, that is the same as taro and quite poisonous raw.
White potatoes shouldn't be eaten raw. They cause stomach ache and are high in solanine, which is partially neutralized in cooking. Sweet potatoes are ok as they aren't actually potatoes.
Beans, unless sprouted.
Soy.Contains toxic phylate and aluminum.
Rhubarb. The leaves are poisonous, but the stalks ca

I take vitamin D. Vitamin D3, the better one to supplement with. I had crippling back pain so that I couldn't walk and when my levels were measured they were about a tenth of what they should be. It took a year of supplementing at very high levels to get my vitamin D up. But, now I only have minor back pain and I certainly can walk again.
I think it's not a good idea for people to assume

400. More Veg, Less Fruit
Are there any nutritional considerations to be aware of when eating a higher percentage of vegetables than fruits? I eat two to three servings of (sugary) fruits a day and the rest of my consumption consists of vegetables, nuts/oils, and non-sugary fruits like avocados, zucchini, etc. along with several supplements.
