Food stuff

I'm still not really sure what exactly I'm supposed to be eating but I've been on a PCOS forum and have asked a few questions on what I need to cut out of my diet.

Usually for dinner I'd have a sandwich with white bread but I've been advised that I shouldn't eat white bread anymore. We don't have any brown bread in the house at the moment so for dinner I had a bowl of cornflakes. I also had a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast.

I'm not sure if that was a good idea but I haven't had a chance to figure out what I'm supposed to be eating yet so I haven't been shopping for some proper food, so I'm just trying to make something of what I have in the house.

I've also been advised that instead of having 3 normal meals a day, I should have 6 small meals a day "as it reduces the highs and lows that you can get with pcos as well".

Here comes the big problem with me. I don't like fruit or veg and hardly touch the stuff, but now I know I'm going to have to incorporate alot of it into my diet and I just don't know if I'm going to be able to. I'm going to have to try, I know that much.

I just wish I had found out about this earlier. Perhaps if I'd found out when I was 16 I would've kept my weight low and would've tried eating better. I was a UK size 8 when I was 16 years old. Now I'm a UK size 16.

I'm also trying to drink more water every day. I don't want to start drinking 6 glasses a day, rather lead up to it. So for now I'll drink 2 glasses a day for a week, and then work my way up to 6 glasses a day.

Sorry if this post is a bit mumbled but I just wanted to get it off my chest.
