Hostel mein PCOD ka kya karein? Roti-sabzi, mood swings aur acne se tang aa gayi! 🥲

Ugh, yaar. Just finished another sad plate of hostel mess food – aloo sabzi that tastes like it was boiled in yesterday's chai. And my body is like, "Radhika, aapko mood swings kyun ho rahe hain?" 😭

I have PCOD, and my gynae in Mumbai told me to cut down on carbs and sugar, but how?? Hostel mein toh roti-sabzi aur chawal hi staple hai. No control over oil, no option for fresh salads. And forget about meal prepping – my fridge is the size of a toaster.

This week was especially bad. My periods are delayed again, and I had a full-blown crying session over a missing paratha last night. My mom keeps calling from Kerala saying "beta, ghar ka khaana khao" – like I have a choice! 😑

I'm trying to take my inositol supplements regularly, but honestly, the bloating and acne are just not going. Also, stress from work + hostel life = disaster for hormones.

Anyone else managing PCOD in a hostel or PG? How do you even eat balanced meals without a kitchen? Please share some hacks – I'm desperate for something that doesn't involve ordering overpriced salads every day. 🥲
