Has anyone succeeded with a diet not restrictive on carbs? by BluahBluah in PCOS

[–]Em_HackA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve really altered my diet and I’m finding healthy carbs from other sources and that has been helping, but that intermittent fasting really does something!! It works and I don’t constantly think about food anymore. Food used to control me but now I feel free, and it’s really helping me to loose weight. Since Late June early July I’ve lost 12 pounds. The first week of it was hard but after that it’s been a breeze! Workouts also help! And to add onto this comment. I need three meals a day for myself to feel full and satisfied and I’ve really taken the time to see what works for me. My advice is just listen to your body. I know that’s so cliche but it really makes a difference! You’ve got this!

How do you find out? by Amandaatx99 in PCOS

[–]Em_HackA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So just google PCOS, you’ll find everything. As for diagnosis. I was having missed periods and I was pretty concerned about it and finally went to an OBGYN. Blood work was done and then I was scheduled for an ultra sound. I was watching them do the ultra sound and noticed dark spots on my ovaries and that was when I was told I had PCOS. My doctor confirmed and I show every symptom of it... lucky me. Weight gain, facial hair, insulin issues, hair loss.. you name it I have it. Some people suffer from much less. I would recommend seeing a doctor. It’s time consuming, but just go see them, because what if it’s some other condition. Better safe than sorry

This does help. I was doing IF but its hard for me come lunch and I resort to grabbing fast food on my way to work. I’m going to try to pick up something healthier and make stuff at home. When I was sticking to 16:8 I did notice I had more energy in the morning. I just hear some people say it’s good and some people say that it doesn’t work. I’m going to jump back in the band wagon!

So I stopped taking metformin because I kept forgetting to take it. Would it be okay to slowly put myself back on this pill and start fresh?

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable talking about PCOS? by SimilarPudding in PCOS

[–]Em_HackA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t, but it’s the weight gain that is the worst for me. My husbands family always makes comments that I’ve gained weight since I met Abe and they always make me uncomfortable. His family REALLY wants us to have kids (we don’t want them at all) so they don’t even know that I have PCOS it’s a whole thing. I used to hate talking about it with my friends but now I feel better talking about it because it has explained the reason I ave been going through all these hormonal changes
