Hi! I’m starting my mediterranean diet today and here’s what I got: Oatmilk (for my Matcha), Coconut Juice, Pocari Sweat (I need my electrolytes 😅), Parmesan Cheese, Salad dressings (Mango and Thousand Island), Cassava chips, Non-fat greek yogurt, Fusili pasta (I’ll try pasta salad for the first time), Trail Mix, Unsalted Walnuts, Dark Chocolate, Corn kernels, Pork and Beans, Iceberg Lettuce, Marble potatoes, Mangoes, Oranges, Pears, and Chicken Breast ♥️
I hope to incorporate more fruits and veggies this week to, so how did I do?
I’m diagnosed with PCOS and I think I found the right ‘diet’ for me that’ll help me change my lifestyle. I hope it’ll also help me regulate my PCOS symptoms 🥹

Good job on picking up some fruits and vegetables, but you’ve still got a lot of processed foods here. When you shop, pay attention to the back labels–the ingredients and nutrition information. You want to avoid oils that aren’t evoo (like in the chips and salad dressings), added sugars and corn syrups, pretty much coconut everything,, and processed meats (like the pork in your pork and beans). You also want to make sure your pasta is whole grain, not white.
You can make up quick and easy salad dressings with evoo and vinegars with herbs. Mary’s Gone Crackers, Wasa Crisps, and CrunchMasters are all good for when you need crunch. Plus, popping your own popcorn with evoo is good. Be mindful when you shop that the front of the label is for selling so those labels will contain all sorts of claims that the ingredients don’t back up.
