Day 35 of eating wholefoods to balance my hormones as a girl with Hashimotos and PCOS (PMOS). I’ve been experimenting with my diet for years, I tried vegan, wholefoods, carnivore, low fat, high fat, literally everything! This was all to try and manage my hashimotos and PMOS symptoms (if you have either of these I’m sure you know how hard it is to manage weight, energy, hair loss, skin issues, bloating, etc). I found that at the start of these diets, I would start to feel better. But eventually would feel worse again. I think that trying to be rigid and stick to ‘diets’ that didn’t suit my lifestyle were causing more stress than good (eg being so rigid that I’d stop going out to eat with friends and isolating myself or just stressing out over eating a food that wasn’t part of the ‘diet’). Now I’ve taking a much more realistic approach and I focus on eating wholefoods (plus being gluten free), while also not being too strict. I also try to experiment with food and make delicious and healthier versions of foods. This, plus fixing my gut, managing stress and moving my body each day has helped me heal, even with hashimotos and PMOS symptoms. My dr never told me that any of this was possible but I’m just glad I found my way here (even if it took 6 years!) #wholefoods #antinflammatorydiet #whatieatinaday #pcos #hashimotos - @heal.with.becca
