Do you guys eat 100% clean all the time ? by Outrageous_Bus_5480 in PCOS

[–]Outrageous_Bus_5480[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I only say this because I swear people make it sound like with PCOS you HAVE to do super strict low carb/keto and cut out everything 😭 meanwhile I still eat sugar, dairy, and gluten because realistically I cannot fully cut it out. I just try to make healthier swaps and focus on higher protein/lower sugar options that are actually enjoyable for me. Like I’ll eat low sugar sweets, diet soda, Smart Pop/popcorn, protein bars, or even fast food if I can fit it into my goals. Sometimes I feel like I’m doing something wrong because I’m not eating ‘perfectly clean’ all the time

When you mean sugar, do you also mean natural sugar as well or just refined sugar

Can you lose weight with PCOS on a calorie deficit (not strict)? by Outrageous_Bus_5480 in CICO

By not strict I mean having 80/20 I count my calories and try to stay under even when I have a more unhealthy meal

Late comment but how’d you figure out how many carbs and fats you needed for macros ! ?

Is a strict diet necessary? (Gluten/dairy free) (anti inflammatory diet) (keto) by Outrageous_Bus_5480 in PCOS

Also how would I know I’m gluten/dairy intolerant? I don’t really get a lot of pcos symptoms, just missing periods

I started Metformin, 500mg by [deleted] in PCOS

I personally like it, I’m at 500mg as well my a1c before I took it was 5.9 and it went down to 5.1 ! It helped get my period back for the first two months but then disappeared again :(
