I especially love how you lay out that that it's different strokes for different folks, not a cookie cutter solution. Cheers!

I'm getting probably half of what I'd like to be to support the swimming, cycling and weight training I've been doing. I'm at around 12-16% consistently instead of more like 30ish. I eat eggs, tons of veggies, nuts and occasionally seitan and various beans but, any tips for some good vegetarian protein sources? Thank you much! Hey Krista,

There are a lot of articles that reflect as much as 10-year-old knowledge and thinking here. I just have to get around to upgrading them. :) I share your POV. Simma: Yeah, definitely.

Mine has changed pretty drastically. In recent years, I've stopped worrying about consumption of saturated fats from unprocessed, natural sources. Critics of the lipid hypothesis and new sources of information about traditional diets (Weston Price Foundation, etc.) have really changed my thinking on this. Krista,

In the meantime, Google "athletic amenorrhea". Karina, this is something you should really discuss with an endocrinologist. In the meantime, Google “athletic amenorrhea”.

I enjoy doing cardio to help me deal with stress and moodiness and I also weight train but could my exercise be interfering with my hormones? I have PCOS and used to have excess androgens but my recent blood tests indicate that my hormones are more balanced now. Despite that it's been nearly an entire year since I've had a period. My diet is not overly restrictive (I don't let myself go hungry) and my weight is within a healthy range (5 feet tall, 97lbs) I want to train harder because even though I'm able to lift way heavier than I did last year I have skinny looking legs...pretty superficial reason, I know, but shouldn't my gains be more visible? I'm kind of shying away from training harder though because of my chaotic cycle. I know you've discussed PCOS in your nutrition articles but I feel like most information regarding PCOS is geared towards women who are overweight/obese. I've never been overweight, I eat very healthily and I am pretty active so I really don't know what to do at this point. Sorry for rambling but any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated :) Hi Krista,

You can also throw in some yams or winter squash, which are higher in carbohydrate. Karina: Replacing grains with fruit is just fine.
