I've been on and off the keto and sometimes low carb train for years now. This past year I've experienced symptoms of PCOS.. irregular cycles, acne, hair loss, weight gain, etc. I haven't seen a gyno or Endo yet but I'm pretty sure I have PCOS and/or possibly endometriosis (my sister has this) Anyway, I'm day 4 into keto this go around and I've only lost 1 lb and no inches. I know the time frame is different for everyone but typically by now I've lost at least 4 lbs and some inches. So I'm just wondering why? Could this be because of my possible PCOS? Is there anything I need to different than before? I've done some research and I came across something saying keto could spike insulin resistance in the beginning? I know I need to go to the doctor and I'm going to, I honestly just haven't had the time. I homeschool my 2 children, my son has autism so I'm swamped with his doc and therapy appointments, I also work from home and my husband works 12 hour days 6 days a week but I'll eventually get there lol. Any advice, info or suggestions is welcome and much appreciated!
