1# A big yes to healthy fats. Olive oil, coconut oil and ghee can
be used in moderation. Unsaturated oils like flaxseed oil, olive
oil, macadamia oils and walnut oil are great. Enjoy stir fried
vegetables and fresh salads in these oils. Also take Omega 3 fish
oils.

2# No to refined and starchy carbs. Reduce white flour, bread,
pasta etc. Cut down potatoes and sugars. Since research says that
higher intake of whole grains may reduce insulin sensitivity, cut
down on whole grains a bit. Women with irregular periods are
advised 40% carbs while those with regular periods may limit it
within 50%. Take non starchy vegetables, fruits with more of
berries. Fruits should always be accompanied by proteins!
