Meal plan?

Has any of your doctors suggested a certain diet? Did they suggest adding/cutting certain foods? I'm not overweight and I stay active, but I do have PCOS and I know that restricting some foods can help. Does anyone have any meal plans or recipes they want to share?

    I've done some research and it seems that a lot of the foods that are "good" for fertility/IVF are the ones on the Mediterranean diet, so DH and I are incorporating some of those foods and "idea" into our diet. Basically, just clean foods, whole grains, lean meats, fish, healthy oils, lots of fruits and veggies...stuff like that!

    One of the REs I talked to was very serious about the diet while on IVF: no diary, no gluten, lots of good protein (eggs, wild fish), acai berry powder, coQ10, vit D and omega-3

    I've heard a lot of good things about the Mediterranian diet as well, which is good for me since that's pretty much my normal diet!  I have a friend whose RE suggest gluten free dairy free to decrease inflammation.
