PCOS and Diet

I also have PCOS, Type 2 diabetes, and Congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Losing weight has always been a struggle for me. I also lose very slow, to where I just give up. CAH prevents my body from producing cortisol, so I have to take cortisone, which causes my blood sugar to rise, which then causes my hormones to be even more imbalanced. I'm a mess. I'm learning to live with it, and just keep trying. i've just started a 90 day challenge with Body by Vi, and I'm satisfied with the weight loss, so far. It's been slow but steady, which is something I never was able to have.0

I have PCOS and am pre-diabetic too. I haven't noticed any correlation between gluten free diets or anything. What I've started *trying* to do is to focus more on lean-healthy proteins, and the fats/carbs take care of themselves....that's what a nutritionist told me anyway, and it seems to be pretty much true.0

I have PCOS and I try to not eat to many simple carbs.. I also try to keep my carbs to a minimum but I really like fruit. It is working. I am trying to get pregnant, and I know my body does not let me unless I am under 200 lbs so that is my goal right now. About 4 months ago my doc upped my metformin from 1000 to 1500 a day and I have seen a huge difference. The growth of unwanted hair has slowed down and in just under 2 months I have lost 20 lbs.. I had it a platue a while back and gave up. I started back up again in Jan and feel so much better. Anyone can feel free to add me.0
