Hello! I also have PCOS and have been working with a nutritionist. My diet echos the low-carb (including starchy veg) and low/no dairy. I'm a vegetarian and eat lots of nuts, fruit, and veggies. I'm not insulin resistant. I've given up alcohol almost entirely. What has helped me most is staying active. I exercise every day…

Hi Amanda! I also have PCOS (only found out in December). I understand the frustration and admire your fighting spirit! Some things I've found helpful is pushing to be active every day, even if it's just walking during my lunch break. Eating a mostly vegetarian diet with whole grains. I take Inositol to help with insulin…

Oh @Nerdycurls, I have been in your shoes. Before my diagnosis, even doctors were griping at me that the only reason I'm not losing weight must be X (with mild implication that I was lying/doing something wrong). Whatever you do, don't give up! In addition to the advice above, I recommend thinking in terms of Non Scale…
