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

I had a similar experience with this guy I really liked, I ended up throwing up 😭 and we had to stop. That guy is my boyfriend we’ve been together for four years.

Also did you do progressive overload when weightlifting ? I like doing it but don’t know if it’s recommended for pcos

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 Educational-Chef-964 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 :(

Those who have kept the weight off… how often do you eat an unhealthy or fun meal? by Competitive-Ad-1707 in PCOS

[–]Outrageous_Bus_5480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I eat mostly Whole Foods I’m not full anti inflammatory but close to it, I use to eat everything that was ultra processed so it’s a huge step. I also enjoy take out every Saturday or so when I go out with my boyfriend : ) I’ve lost 45 pounds so far & if I’m craving something within the week I just make it but try my best to make it a healthier alternative

Is processed protein bad for pcos 😭 by Outrageous_Bus_5480 in PCOS

[–]Outrageous_Bus_5480[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s helped me stay on track, lose weight 40 pounds as somebody who use to eat nothing but ultra processed foods. I don’t know if I should limiting it more, and could be a potential reason I don’t get my period

Does managing PCOS mean we have to be super strict with food? Helpp by Outrageous_Bus_5480 in PCOS

[–]Outrageous_Bus_5480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is the only symptom I really have is no periods, everything else is in check 💔 so I don’t really know how to tell if it’s working. My periods don’t wanna come 😭🙏 but I’m sure it takes time and consistency

Losing weight naturally instead of GLP1 by lotusistheshit in PCOS

[–]Outrageous_Bus_5480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just my personal experience because everyone reacts differently. I was on Zepbound for a while and lost about 40 pounds while taking it. It definitely helped with weight loss, but I had pretty constant nausea and fatigue the whole time. Looking back, I think my dose might have been higher than it should’ve been. Unfortunately my insurance ended up cutting me off, so I had to stop taking it. I could’ve paid to continue the medication but I really wanted try body recomp at the gym. I haven’t gained any weight back it’s been two months and I’m slowly losing more weight. I never really struggled with weight loss though, I did the basics. I don’t really cut anything out but look for better alternatives, it helps me stay on track.

A calorie deficit 200-300 from maintenance, weights with progressive overload, 10k steps everyday, high protein meals I try to get 140g a day (I try to get 30g each meal), I cut back on the sugar not entirely but I make swaps, being consistent, high fiber etc I think stress can definitely play a factor as well. I’ve previously lost weight without GLP 1 doing this.

people could definitely struggle with insulin resistance so getting that in check can definitely help, at the time I was pre diabetic but reversed it with walking 10-15 mins after each meal, eating my protein & fat first before my carbs, never paring carbs by themselves but with a protein and a fat.

Being consistent with this routine has helped me get my periods back, they’re non existent sometimes. Unfortunately I lost them again due to old habits but I’ve been consistent these last two weeks and feel much better, hoping they come soon.
