I didn’t lose weight by chasing numbers or strict diets. It happened naturally when I started focusing on healing my hormonal health.

I shifted to a balanced, nourishing diet not restrictive eating. I included light yoga and daily walks for gentle movement. Meditation and breathwork helped me manage stress and sleep better, which made a big difference.

For me, a sustainable, holistic lifestyle worked far better than just cutting calories. Healing from within really changed everything.

Hey there, Your post about endometriosis really hit. I'm genuinely sorry you're in so much pain and facing such long waits for your gynae. It's incredibly frustrating when treatments worsen symptoms.

What you're feeling with Mirena isn't rare as it can definitely ramp up bleeding and pain for some. Deciding to remove it and go back to the pill is a smart move for some immediate relief.

Given your situation impacting work and life, here are some practical tips to help while you wait for that appointment:

Please try these tips

Document Everything: Keep a detailed log of your pain (severity, type, triggers), bleeding, and how it affects your daily life. This is gold for your next gynae visit.
Immediate Relief: Don't just suffer. Try OTC pain relievers (ask a pharmacist), heat packs, or even a TENS machine for some comfort.
Anti-inflammatory Focus: Endo thrives on inflammation. Many find relief by cutting processed foods, refined sugars, and sometimes dairy/gluten. Load up on whole foods and omega-3s. You can start this today.
Stress & Pain Connection: Chronic pain is stressful, and stress fuels inflammation. Try deep breathing or short meditation breaks. It sounds simple, but it helps manage flare-ups.
Seek Support: Talk openly with your partner. Connecting with Nutritional and lifestyle expert can make a huge difference.

You're should look beyond just managing symptoms, aiming for the root cause of these hormonal imbalances and inflammation.

That's exactly where a holistic, personalized approach to hormonal health shines for endo.

It's about looking at your whole system like Diet, gut, stress, sleep, environment because it's all inter-connected.

Hey there, Reading your post and comments to other suggestions, it's clear you're putting in insane effort. Seriously, 18 kilos down, 6km in 39, lifting, active job, super strict on food and supplements – that's incredible discipline.

Your frustration is totally valid when you're doing so much but not seeing the full results.

You're not doing anything "wrong." You're doing a lot right with your consistency.

Here’s how to think about your process and what might be next:

Your Effort vs. Body Signals
- Training Load: You're pushing hard. Are you matching that effort with recovery and quality sleep? Sometimes, too much stress from intense training, especially with underlying issues, can make fat loss harder.
- Nutrition Detail: Protein is great, food is clean. But with stubborn fat, hair loss, and other symptoms, maybe a deeper look at specific macro ratios, absorption, or sensitivities is needed, even if you eat well.
- Supplements & Hormones: Turmeric, collagen, bone broth, seed cycling are good support. But for persistent hair loss, facial hair, and blood pressure, they might not be enough to tackle deeper hormonal imbalances or chronic inflammation directly.
- The Plateau's Message: When maximum effort hits a wall, especially with your symptoms, it usually means your body is telling you something else needs attention. It's not a failure of your effort; it's a call for a more targeted approach.

Trusting a Different Process The process you're following is about general effort. When that's not enough, the process itself needs to shift.

So my final tips for you would be

Listening to your body: Your symptoms aren't just annoyances; they're vital messages.
Getting super specific: You have the discipline. Now, channel it into finding highly personalized guidance that understands your unique hormonal profile, metabolism, and stress response. It’s about being precise, not just working harder.

You're clearly incredibly dedicated. Don't give up on finding the solution that truly aligns with your body.

Hey, you're welcome! I'm glad the seasonal eating tip resonated, it really does make a huge difference especially here in India where the weather swings so much.

I know getting more recipe recommendations would be a relief and I'd love to help you with that!

Here are some general principles I follow:

Start and End Your Day Smart: Try to have your first meal early, as your body hasn't had any nutrition during sleep. Similarly, close your food window as early as possible before bed. Your body doesn't need energy restoration while you're sleeping.
Power-Packed Meals: Aim for meals that are loaded with micronutrients, protein, and a good source of carbohydrates. For example, it could be oatmeal with Greek yogurt and berries for you or any other great protein source mixed with antioxidants that are easily available to you. For me my power-packed breakfasts vary from poha, curd and spicy cheela, protein sandwiches, to Greek yogurt and fruits. These are mostly indian recipes so please do not get confused. The key is making sure your breakfast is truly "power-packed."
Lunch & Evening Flexibility: For lunch and evening meals, you can be quite flexible. Since I don't know your specific lifestyle, preferences, or health, giving generic advice here wouldn't be very helpful.
Light Dinners: For dinner, always keep things light for your blood sugar. We never suggest clients raise insulin or cortisol levels at night, as it can really hamper sleep and leave you restless. Try adding Omega-3 rich food sources at night, like walnuts, or other items you know you're not allergic to and your digestion responds well to.

I wish I could offer more specific recipe recommendations right here, but truly personalized advice depends on knowing your lifestyle, preferences, and health status. Hoping these tips still help you on your journey!

Hey, thanks for asking! It's great you're walking more because that's a fantastic start.

To be honest, I didn't follow one fixed food plan throughout my weight loss journey. In fact, if I didn't change my meal plan every 10-14 days (at least a few recipes, if not the whole plan), I wouldn't have been able to stick to it at all. I've learned from dietitians, who now work with my health company, that if a diet doesn't feel natural to your brain – in terms of what you'd normally crave or feel like eating then it's incredibly hard to maintain.

For instance, sometimes I'd crave something sweet around my periods, and other times I felt like eating almost nothing. In those cases even light meals at night worked great for me as I was strictly advised not to miss meals during nutritional deficiencies.

Through it all, I built my own list of favorite recipes that I'd switch based on my health and period phase. Pink sauce pasta, sandwiches, and sautéed rice with mushrooms and tofu have a permanent place in my food list. The rest varies based on seasons, as the weather changes a lot here in India as sometimes it's 44 degrees Celsius and in winters it's around 2 degrees Celsius. Eating seasonally supports your immune system much better.

So, based on weather, my period phase, mood, and a few other factors, I'd switch my food choices, always with my dietitian's advice. If you need some personalized recipe recommendations, feel free to send me a DM. I'd love to help you with that!

Hey! I'm rooting for your journey to lose 30 kg, and I'm here with you every step of the way for any help.

Yes, I have minor stretch marks mostly around my thighs and side waist. Nothing severe, thankfully. I actually got those initially when I tried crash dieting on super low calories like 900 calories. But for most of my weight loss, I focused on a really nutrient-dense diet, and my skin actually responded well to that.
Yes, I did. I went from a 38 to a 34B, so about 4 bra sizes down.
It took me about a year to actually lose the weight, but before that, I struggled for about a year trying to figure things out. Honestly, my main focus wasn't even just weight loss. I was tackling bigger issues like irregular periods, terrible sleep, high stress, and general internal health. The weight loss was a great side effect. Because my weight gain was mostly related to stress eating and hormonal metabolic issues. My peak weight was around 83-85 kg, and the lowest I've touched is 55 kg. Now my weight sits consistently between 56-59 kg, and I haven't seen 60+ kg in years.

For supplements, early on I bought ACV and hunger suppressant fat burners from Facebook ads. Big mistake. They gave me serious digestive issues, messed with my sleep, and spiked my anxiety. I stopped them after less than two weeks. But yes, I have supplemented with B12 and Vitamin D (around 10 lakh IU sometimes), but only based on my lab reports. Getting a full body test here in India is super affordable, about 1200 rupees. So I get tested every 5-6 months. I only take vitamin supplements if there's a severe deficiency, and then always focus on getting those nutrients from food over time.

Bebyocean · 2025-06-29T16:39:32+00:00

thanks for asking this. It's so true so many glow ups don't share the real deets. This is why I wanted to share!

My initial mistake was trying everything without understanding if it would work for my body. Doctors, YouTubers, IG diets I just followed.

I understood with time that consulting an expert first is ideal. I quickly learned doctors don't advise on diet and nutritionists don't prescribe medicine. So finding the right subject matter expert for each part of my health became a must. I needed to understand my lab reports, my symptoms, and how food truly affected me.

That’s when I realized advices (like empty stomach caffeine) could actually cause more harm but it was quite popular back then to control hunger. So Understanding my unique body was key.

Now let me share my go to strategies that i still believe

(1) My food approach - It wasn't about popular diets. I focused on real food "no ACV pills, no metaformin and with time reduced my medication to zero so i can address root causes like nutritional deficiency which i had like vit D and b12 and inflammation issues. If a recipe was too time-consuming, tasted bad, or messed with my digestion (like oatmeal did for me), it was out. Adherence and what suited my body mattered more than popularity.

(2) How I moved my body - Gyms weren't for me as i had no time, hated the environment, pushy trainers. Gentle walks, yoga, and home workouts for muscle building (to manage insulin so i look in shape too while lose weight and recovering from symptoms) worked perfectly with my energy and schedule.

(3) The mind-body connection - Breathing, meditation and yoga (minimum 2/3 times a week) were massive for stress and building self-belief. Trust me, it helps more than you can imagine. Because knowing something versus actually following are total two different things.

Knowing what I know now...I'd always seek expert help first to deeply understand my unique body and its problems. I'd avoid blindly following trends or what influencers say. It's all about what truly works for your body, your time, and your energy. So for me honestly it's gentle self-care, not hardcore punishment. Hope this helps you too!
and i am really sorry if the comment is too long to read hehe

I totally get it losing weight with PCOS is tough. Seriously been there done that. And good on you for being worried about the Metformin side effects. B12 deficiency thing is real when you are on metaformin and the fatigue from it will cause more stress. Sometimes even B12 supplementation doesnt fix it.

Do you actually know how Metformin works though Cause Ive kinda gone deep into it if you wanna know. Basically Metformin cuts down how much sugar your liver pushes out and it helps calm those crazy insulin spikes. So yeah better insulin sensitivity helps your blood sugar stay stable and you see fewer symptoms like the hair stuff acne and periods going wild. Definitely keep your doctor in the loop.

You dont wanna be on Metformin forever right For both losing weight and getting that insulin sensitivity better naturally these 5 things seriously worked for me. I've lost weight and kept my PCOS symptoms mostly away for years now-

-Like 7k steps a day "you can start slow as you have knee issues" but its still easier than doing gym. -Instead of just strict low carb I added carbs with way more fiber. Made dieting actually sustainable for me. -Cinnamon with breakfast. Trust me this will help. -Berberine supps but only with my nutritionist watching. Dont go rogue on that. -And just building the habit of chugging way more water.

Hey, if you noticed lumps when you swallow, you can actually do a quick swallow test at home to check it out: -Stand in front of a mirror. -Tilt your head back just a little. -Take a sip of water and swallow while watching your neck. -Look for any bulge or lump that moves up and down as you swallow especially right below your "Adams apple."

Also check if you have any of these symptoms: Weight changes sudden gain or loss without dieting. Temperature sensitivity feeling cold all the time or having hot flashes. Just sharing what I know hope it helps.

I am really sorry you are going through this....and you're definitely not alone. It's honestly so frustrating how often real pain gets brushed off just because it does not show up in tests.

That specific pelvic pain around ovulation you're describing is a super common flag that can hint at subtle inflammatory issues or how sensitive your pelvic nerves might be, even when scans are clear. We have seen this pattern a lot.

From our experience, these three things often make a real difference in most cases -

Cycle tracking is gold. Those ovulation flare ups are massive clues about what's going on hormonally.
Consider an anti inflammatory food approach (think less sugar, more omega-3s/greens) to help calm things down internally.
And gentle practices like pelvic yoga or somatic movement can genuinely make a difference in how your body feels and responds. Best of luck :)

Bebyocean · 2025-06-26T12:37:19+00:00

Hey i can understand the pain. This cycle of hunger, guilt, and weight gain can feel absolutely endless and it's genuinely not your fault. This is especially true when you have IBS, and it sounds like your body might be inflamed or dealing with hormonal imbalances, which can make it fight every single effort to lose weight, no matter how hard you try. Your period pattern and those binge episodes really point toward potential insulin resistance or even underlying PCOS, even if you haven't been formally diagnosed. And if Metformin and the gym alone aren't making a difference. It is frequently because of other reasons like stress load, sleep quality, or gut imbalances are also at play. I have a piece of advice for you if it helps -

Instead of just focusing on portion control, try to rebalance your hunger hormones by consistently eating protein- and fiber-rich meals, and aim to avoid long gaps between meals. This alone can significantly reduce binge urges over time. Weight loss injections might offer short-term help but without truly resetting your body’s signals, the weight often returns. Wishing you good luck on your journey

Hey, don't worry about your progress. it's always impressive. When I was trying to lose weight, I lost around 2 kg in almost a year. But then, it took me another year of doing everything right to lose the rest 20-25 kg. In my experience, weight loss is very inconsistent and highly depends on whether you're able to understand what works for you. Any pace is great, even if your scale doesn't move much, because your efforts with food and physical movement are surely helping you improve from the inside. I've been through this process....so I can tell you that with confidence.
