I need help with Low carbing? If you dont agree to low carbi

If you are going to go LC then you need to read the Atkins Diet book. They reccomend zero carbs during the induction phase, which I believe is 2 weeks. You should be able to find the book for about $10 most anywhere.

I have an Atkins book, can't remember the title, and it states that 20g of NET carbs per day for two weeks for induction and then to add 5g of net carbs per week after that until you reach a point where you are no longer losing weight. That is when one cuts out 5g net carbs to keep losing weight. So let's say I'm finally up to 35g net carbs and I am no longer losing weight. I will commence to consume 30 g of net carbs until I reach my desired weight. Then will again re-introduce carbs to where I am no longer losing or gaining weight.

Exactly..............Atkins teaches a person to know at what level of eating a person can lose weight, maintain and gain weight.

This was in the REAL Dr Atkins books that were written by Dr A himself, not the stupid Corporation that took the company after his death.

Atkins Nutritionals Corporation is more into pushing their processed junk along with whole foods eating............it makes me SMDH

Is there any book that talks about PCOS and what one should eat ? I want to get it for my niece

Carbohydrates are not the enemy.

They are when you have PCOS and are infertile and have tried EVERYTHING else to lose weight.

Thank you all again I really appreaciate it.

Ok the plan of action is lots more water (I have been drinking 6 cups of decaf coffee with 2 teaspoons of sweetner a day) and I have been counting the coffee in my water amount also.

Give up the low carb wraps for now and quit the bars

I will do the induction 100%.

Now I do have a question of Flax I have seen posts for MIM (Muffin in a min) is Flax seed allowed on induction?

Drink more water! When you are low carb, this usually is low in fiber too. To help flush out everything, drink a LOT of water. Don't count anything but clean fresh water. I am high protein, low carb and low fat. I've had to really drink a lot of water to make up for not getting moisture from my foods. I also add benefiber to my protein shakes to help too.

Hope this is helpful!

Im going to send you an add request. I have P.C.O.S too and experimented a lot.. just as you are doing. Yes, lower carb does work but you have to eat some.. you will still loose. Anyway, Ill add you and you can check out my diary

Yes, exactly.

Now as far as fruit........I stick to berries and melons mostly. Then comes apples, pears, peaches, kiwi, etc............

I eat far more vegetables than fruit though.

I'm working on doing the same. I mean I do eat a ton of vegetables already but I love fruit so probably eat more than I should some days which obviously has a negative effect on my sugar intake - fructose or not, it's still sugar! Love berries for the low sugar content!

Have a look on amazon, there are cookbooks as well as just general guides on there.

Nobody mentioned your fat intake. I just looked at 1 day but it was looming there over 100 gms. You need fat but healthy fat. Try adding almonds, avocado, walnuts and olive oil. When you have healthy fats your body will be more likely to get rid of the stored fats.
The other thing you might want to try is Stevia instead of other sweetners...0 on the glycemic index.
I don't know if these are allowed for someone with your condition so I'm sorry if I'm off base...just trying to help.
