hi all

I am burning average of 500cals by exercise , sometimes even 800 a day n my intake cal is 1200
I am having low fat food n non processed ones
Now issue is m not losing weight
Missed my periods 2 months now , doc is checking for pcos ( though I feel I hav it) but even if it's pcos I would prefer to loose weight to reduce it's symptoms as I hav read weight loss effects significantly on pcos

Again coming bk to the qs, anybody has experienced this ?
This last month I havnt loss more thn a lb or so
N non this week

Getting really annoyed

    are you eating back your calories? do you do strength exercises?

    1200 is quite low, but does depend on how much you ar wanting to lose and what your start weight is. deffo make sure your eating your cals back so that you eat a nett of at least 1200, ie 1200 -800 max exercise cals only leaves you with 400 cals nett eaten or 1200 - exercise 500 leaves 700 nett cals.

    Sorry hope im making sense and it doesnt come across like im telling you how to suck eggs lol

    I posted this responce on your other thread too :wink:

    Edit: I wanted to add that I was diagnosed with PCOS 12 yrs ago and since using this site I have been able to assess my eating proportions of carbs/proteins/fat etc and noticed that a 40% carb 30% Protein 30% fats seems to work well for me, I posted a few months back on this subject and noticed that other PCOS suffers had altered their carbs to lower too.

    well done on getting things rolling with the doc, best of luck.
