Hi Pam,

I follow CALP (Carbohydrate Addict LIfespan Program) - it is the revised version of CAD (carbohydrate addicts diet). I have heard of the IR diet and had a look at it, but it has too many carbs for me spread during the day, so it wasn't appropriate for me. CALP is working great now that I added metformin to control my insulin so after quite a bit of trial and error, I have found what works well for me.

Regarding veggie protein - PCOS women need to avoid soy because of the phytoestrogens present in soy products. You may need to rethink the veggie thing. The last thing any PCOS patient needs is additional estrogen. Please have a good think about changing perhaps to fish or eggs, etc rather than soy.
