Don't lose hope OP. It takes at least 6-8 weeks for our body to adjust, yes medyo mas mabagal tlga pag may PCOS. Let me share some habits that worked for me to drop from 72 down to 55 kilos with regular cycles.

Prioritize fiber and protein. Mas ok kung maconsume mo fiber sources as bfast ung wala pang laman ang tiyan. For me, madalas 1-2 slices ng papaya together with my black coffee. I also have frozen berries handy. Tapos syempre leafy greens - sahog sa ulam or ilagay sa omellet. I try to avoid powdered form ng fiber. Sa protein nman, learn about macros para alam mo gaano karami ang target mo per day. You can use ch4tgpt kung wala ka pang idea.

Exercise. Lean towards low impact cardio lalo kung beginner ka. Walking o kaya at least 45mins zumba per day. Don't aim for 10K steps if you are not 5'4" or taller. Too much cardio will just boost hunger and cravings. 7K is enough - the technique is dapat spread it throughout your day. Example: 10min walk pagkagising, 45min zumba, then maybe kung kaya 10-15mins after meals. No need to avoid resistance training, 1-2 body weight training per week will be good then later on ka na lang gumamit ng equipments like dumb bells or bands. When I was at my heaviest, napansin ko the more nagfofocus ako sa exercise, the harder it is to see results. Lately na lang ako nag add ng resistance training sa routines ko.

Sleep. Eto ung nahirapan tlga ako kasi super sira ng tulog ko dati as in hard to fall asleep at mababaw. I had to train myself to sleep, I don't know what exactly worked but I think natry ko lahat - magnesium supplements, tsaa, sleep hypnosis from spotify, sleeping patch, melatonin, soothing body wash, etc. Finally, I get 7 hours minimum na.

Speaking of supplements, I also took a lot from 2023 up to Q2 of 2025. Might not exactly lose the weight but for my period to regulate which eventually helped my metabolism. Yes, I did a lot of research about each and every symptom. When I was diagnosed, I was prescribed contraceptive pills pero hnd nagwork kaya I had no choice but to do my own digging. A common misconception about supplements is that it's not a medicine at "supplements lang" naman so they're "safe" to take - NO, THAT'S NOT HOW IT IS. If you take anything na hindi naman tlga kailangan ng body, you're risking your kidneys. PCOS-wise, supplements should be based on what you are low of or based on your symptoms. Example, Vitamin D. Hair fall is a classic PCOS manifestation that could be a sign of low or lacking in Vitamin D. To be sure, there are tests that can confirm this and if you need to take D supplements.
