PCOS Meal Plan

What is Melissa like to work with as a Nutritionist?

To start off with, Melissa, The Delicious Nutritionist, is great to work with. She really listens to what you want to achieve, and then shares her ideas and expertise, as well as dispelling myths that I had heard about diet and nutrition, and especially things around PCOS and hormone imbalance. She was really quick to reply to questions or messages through Instagram, which is great if you need some motivation for a meal plan, or have quick questions about your meal plan.

How did you find the plan?

The meal plan itself was great, and clearly laid out, with shopping plans, and all that you need to get. I liked that the meals weren’t all really different. What you would have one evening for dinner, would also be for lunch the next day. It just helped with not making the food shopping costs high, and keeping time in the kitchen down too; I am all for cooking in bulk. The ingredients weren’t odd or expensive either. Just really normal and natural ingredients. I do like to cook, and cook from scratch, so that definitely helped. But Melissa does ask you how long you have to prepare meals, so a meal plan really is bespoke for you and you exact needs, as well as the goals that you have.

Did your PCOS improve?

After 2 weeks, I had lost five pounds, and felt like my PCOS symptoms, although not all gone, were under more control. I won’t go into too much detail, but I know the things that feel more under control than ever before.After a month of the meal plan, the results mean that I am now eight pounds down, and the PCOS symptoms continue to be under control. I have felt really energised and not as lethargic as I often have before. I have also been really pleased with the plant-based food knowledge that I have been given, which will help going forward. I look forward to using the meal plan again and again, so I think that the results are really positive.
