Struggling with appetite
I have insulin-resistant PCOS and I’m currently taking Ozempic to manage it. My appetite has been really unpredictable lately, and at times, just the thought of eating makes me feel nauseous. For those of you with PCOS, you know how exhausting it can be! I’m looking for your go-to easy, quick, and relatively healthy vegetarian meals for lunch or dinner on those days when cooking feels like too much. Any suggestions?

    I totally understand where you’re coming from! Managing PCOS along with appetite fluctuations can be really challenging. Here are some easy and relatively healthy vegetarian meal ideas that you might find helpful for lunches and dinners:

    1. Vegetable Stir-Fry: Toss your favorite veggies (like bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas) in a pan with some olive oil, garlic, and soy sauce. Serve it over cooked quinoa or brown rice.

    2. Chickpea Salad: Mix canned chickpeas with diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add some feta cheese or avocado for extra flavor.

    3. Veggie Wraps: Use whole grain tortillas and fill them with hummus, spinach, shredded carrots, and sliced bell peppers. Roll them up for a quick meal.

    4. Pasta Primavera: Cook whole grain pasta and toss it with sautéed seasonal vegetables (like zucchini, asparagus, and peas) in a light olive oil and lemon dressing.

    5. Lentil Soup: Make a simple lentil soup with vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, carrots, and spices like cumin or coriander. It’s nourishing and can be made in big batches ahead of time.

    6. Avocado Toast: Top multigrain bread with smashed avocado, a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Add sliced tomatoes or a poached egg for extra protein.

    7. Smoothie Bowl: Blend spinach, a banana, and a scoop of protein powder with almond milk. Pour it into a bowl and top with granola, nuts, and seeds.

    8. Stuffed Bell Peppers: Fill halved bell peppers with a mixture of quinoa, black beans, corn, and spices. Bake until the peppers are tender.

    9. Zucchini Noodles: Spiralize some zucchini and toss with your favorite marinara sauce or pesto. You can add some cherry tomatoes and spinach for extra nutrients.

    10. Couscous Salad: Prepare couscous and mix it with chopped veggies, herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice for a refreshing meal.

    Feel free to adjust these ideas based on what you enjoy and keep everything simple. Listen to your body and eat what feels good for you. Take care!
