Hellooo!
I was diagnosed with PCOS before falling pregnant with my 1st child last year and since giving birth I feel im bigger than I was when pregnant! anywho... I just wondered if anyone who has PCOS found that cutting out/down on white carbs helped them a lot?
Im planning on eating carbs but wholewheat versions of things and in small amounts.
Any advice would be grateful...

I have PCOS. I tried lowish carbs diets and didn't last 3 days. My problem was mainly the fact that low carbs mean higher fat and I had my gallbladder removed 7 years ago. Also the low carbs really depleted my and I was unable to train.
I just accepted that my weight loss is slow.
Good luck0
