Hi ladies,

Looking for some friends who have PCOS who are looking to make serious changes. I have it and recently developed yet ANOTHER terrible symptom and enough is enough. I am going to completely re-work my eating, following a low-carb/low glycemic index diet and add in a lot more exercise.

Who's with me?! Feel free to add me as a friend :)

    PCOS really, really blows. And it means that we need make more of an effort than the average woman. but that also means that our victory will be that much sweeter!

    In solidarity! POCS can be a major downer, that's why we have to lean on each other. YOU GOT THIS!

    I think we can all agree.. PCOS sucks. I'm not trying low carb specifically, but more low GI and cutting out most refined sugars. Trying not to jump right into it, don't wanna scare myself back to junk food. Lol. I'll add ya :) anyone can feel free to add me too!
    Weight loss is so much harder for us, that darned insulin. :(

    I also have PCOS. The struggle is insane. I also have thyroid problems. I did the whole 30 and whole 60 and it helped a lot. From there I eat almost all paleo but I reintroduced dairy (just greek yogurt and very little cheese), The no grains is what helped me insanely. There are a lot of low carb "junk foods"/snacks out there. Seaweed snacks, quest bars (not really junk food but it tastes awesome), kfc grilled chicken, buffalo wings (watch the sauce), tacos made with low carb tortillas(easy for high protein, load up with shrimp or whatever meat), sunflower seeds, nuts, cheese, cold cuts, pork rinds, protein shakes, etc.... my list is super long lol. I hoped that helped a little. I sent you friend request.

    I was diagnosed with it 12 years ago...hello cysters! This mess sucks...just plain sucks. And part of me is led to believe that all of this junk in our food now days is a major contributor to a lot of bad health effects and not just a contributor to obesity. But, we can do this!

    Feel free to add me ladies!
