That was a good post... I thought she made those comments out of vanity. I now see the real reason. Thanks for the post.

I did not know that.

Wow! Never knew she had it too! Good post!

Awesome. Love Jillian Michaels and now I feel like she knows how hard it is to have PCOS.

Thank you for sharing this video. I was not aware that she has PCOS. This video gives me hope:) I was diagnosed with it several years ago. It makes it so difficult to lose weight, but, I agree with what she says about clean eating and exercise. It makes a big difference.

Thanks for sharing

Jillians book "Master you metabolism" basically came about from the research she did for her own PCOS.

I didn't know about the book.

After I seen this post( the very first one) .I went an did a search of just Jillian Michaels to see if there was anything else.the poster above said she came at it as a "vanity stand point" or something along those lines(I don't think I am totally quote the person exactly so forgive me... but that was the jest of it.)

I did to a point see that she did come from a stand point of "vanity" side... I took it as a conversation that she was addressing the questions that the woman who she was talking to mentioned. Some of the things that made her uncomfortable outwardly. A lot of us on here express how it has effected us physically, like hair loss, acne, weight gain.... things that has bring down ones self esteem(now I am NOT speaking for every woman on here but many. as well as for myself)

Any whoo. On my search with her name on YouTube.. I came across this talk/mic/ show thing she does where she address many things and one of them in a few of her clips is about PCOS...

She speaks about drinking or taking a pill Vitamin Psylliym Husk. I was like hummm.

( cant take metformin body cant adjust. cant take B.C. because of having blood clot in leg and lung) the only thing I am taking is Spironolactone, which again we all have different results, but for me my skin completely cleared up/ it has looked the best it ever has since, my PCOS has Escalated, no more painful under the skin type boils? and my hair loss has halted to a very minimum, not completely stopped but much better.)

Well back to the vitamin she is talking about. She said it will keep you much fuller after eating for a longer time and on the bottle of (the brand I got was Meta-mucil/ in an orange bottle. I am sure any kind that has that as a main ingredient would do) anyway it says on the bottle "for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Consult your doctor before using if you are currently using medication to control your blood sugar levels"

Now I can only speak for my experience thus far... but I started of with the 2 capsules every meal /6 total. I have to admit I don't feel hungry to quickly and I am not sluggish after a meal like I can get at times (I even have my phone set to remind me to eat at certain times)

**** I didn't mean to slap all this post on the part I quoted of what you said. I am going to check her book out. Knowledge is power. I am the type I hear and listen, and I see. I take what I feel helps me and leave the rest.

So glad this post started. Seeing Jillian having PCOS and those other girls on the Biggest Loser give me hope in losing this weight and feeling and being healthier.

awesome video! :drinker:

I don't have PCOS, but I have a pituitary tumor which gives me a lot of the same symptoms of PCOS. I'm struggling with all the same things you all are! I will definitely be looking into JM's book.

thanks for sharing!
