I had a few blood tests done because I haven't gotten a period in about 5 months. The tests showed that I have an overactive Thyroid, low Estrogen levels, and cysts on my ovaries (ultrasound). My doctor said that I'm not eating enough and if I don't change my diet, I could be unable to have children later in life. I usually have cereal with soymilk for breakfast, some kind of fruit for lunch, and plenty of vegetables with my dinner, or a salad for dinner. She says I need to have something from each food group with each meal. I know this is going to be very hard for me. I don't think I can comfortably eat that much.
I've also been losing weight and they think that I'm doing it on purpose. I think that has to do with the Thyroid.
Do you think I really need to have something from each food group with every single meal?
Today I had whole grain toast with apple butter and some low fat yogurt for breakfast, and a mini pita w/ peanut butter, and some strawberries for lunch. How's that?
