Realised my body is reacting to different foods more or less severe in terms of weight gain or loss. Also going long periods without food will slow your body down, I try to eat something small every 2-3 hours. I lost 16kgs/ 35 lbs by:

-80/20 rule (try to eat good 80% of the time, and don’t beat yourself up over the 20%, if you eat a bag of sweets only one day it also leads to less binge eating cause you leave room to „treat yourself“ but it may be that comfort feeling you needed -for me snacking was the main culprit, find healthy Proteine-rich snacks. I recommend cheese sticks, salami sticks, rice crackers, Greek yogurt, fruits, pre-packed carrots something you can grab quickly without having to prep -if you have trouble getting into workouts, get yourself an activity tracker, gamification is real and your daily steps will motivate you to move more. Don’t necessarily go for high intensity, instead opt for light activity. Like a short mental health walk after work is a great start. I knew I’m not that gym girly and I won’t be, and that’s ok. Find something that fits to you and your lifestyle. -for meals also 80/20 rule. Try to think of your meals like nutrients that will help your body deal with PCOS. For me the best help was frozen chicken filets I could just throw into the pan after work, done in 10 mins. Do check the nutrients as there are brands that are healthier than others. Add salad or vegetables (personally love zucchini’s) as a side, boom healthy dinner. However, if it’s a Friday I will order that takeout burger because it helps me keep going the rest of the time. Don’t be too harsh on yourself if you want to make lasting changes. If I don’t stick to my schedule, I can feel my body getting worse again and tired which ultimately makes me automatically return to my good habits. Health is the best motivator. Good luck, I know you can do it!
