PCOS

Hi! I’m trying to lose weight to support my PCOS and I’m looking for support and friends that are also struggling.

    Hey, feel free to add me as a friend :) I also have PCOS and need support/motivation. We could help each other!

    PCOS here too! Although it’s a pain in the butt, I’ve found keeping carbs low (trying to stay away from breads, cereals, pastas) and eating more veggies with protein helps.

    There’s hope! Here’s at my heaviest and where I’m at currently, still actively working on being healthier.

    I’ve been on Pinterest, gathering recipes (just a variety of healthy alternatives) from Paleo, Keto and Vegan dishes.

    Spaghetti squash- pasta alternative

    I highly recommend a spiralizer- to make your own noodles out of veggies. I just got one 😃

    Cauliflower rice, quinoa, almond flour

    There’s many options these days and Pinterest I love it. 🤗🤗

    That’s awesome! You’ve done so well! I’m trying to shift those last 10 pounds and finding it sooo frustrating! My husband and I have been trying to conceive and I know every pound helps. Yes, Pinterest is amazing! And I do have a spiralizer, zucchini pasta is my favorite but I also like to make sweet potatoes fries on occasion.
