I got this beautiful thing to track all my meds and vitamins. The MORN is just my thyroid pill and I take that the second I wake up. The NOON section I take with breakfast, EVE with dinner, and BED at bedtime. It really helps me keep things straight and I can pop one little section out to take with me to dinner, school, or…

Lol I'm off to Florida in a couple of days to visit my folks and I can't wait for…

There are foods we aren't supposed to be eating? (Besides watching carbs, I mean.)

[/quote] Thank you - My husband does not get why I am sad because of this. We have three beautiful children and likely we would not have any additional at this point with the struggles even getting pregnant. But I feel that was a choice he and I should have made and not one made for me by the doctors. I get the why but it…

waving hi from louisville :)

[/quote] My last delivery was very traumatic ending with the strong advise to not have any additional children. [/quote] I'm really sorry to hear that. :(

[/quote] Spiro definitely helped me with my acne and hair growth! But, do not take if TTC! :) [/quote] Why no spiro if ttc?

Very helpful! Thank you!!

That's great that you found a good doc. I've got a GP who's willing to prescribe some stuff but doesn't really do well with all the hormone stuff.

Louisville, KY here! Hi everyone :)

42carrots, I'm not vegetarian but I also don't believe a meat-heavy diet is healthy. (Maybe I'll change my mind through this process but I'm betting not.) I'd say I am low-meat, vegetarian-friendly. I've been drinking protein shakes for breakfast (almond milk, frozen strawberries, and a combo of whey protein and Arbonne…

That's the real trick, isn't it? Finding a Dr who will listen and work with us?

I don't think I could do the full LCHF diet either but after understanding exactly how insulin resistance works, I know that the less carbs and more exercise, the easier it is on our bodies to deal with the glucose and insulin it is producing so I am aiming to be under 150 carbs/day.

thanks!

My husband is about 30lbs lighter than me, and a foot taller. o_O He is still not healthy though so I try to get him to eat healthier but it's a big joke to him. Makes me want to slap him. Lol

Very interesting. I'll have to look into that. I'm a short but large-built woman (thanks to my German ancestry) so not adding bulk is a big deal to me.

What do you mean by heavy lifting?

And I should add that I have PCOS, insulin resistant type 2 diabetes, and hypothyroidism.

Do most people see a regular endo or a reproductive endo? I'm debating where I'll get the most help.

I've tried to lose weight 100 times so after the first couple, yeah my husband would just be frustrated, especially if I was spending money on WW or something like that. THIS time is different because I'm going into it with a whole different attitude after being diagnosed type 2 diabetic, and he can see that. I'm…

Looking forward to similar results for myself, especially mood and energy increase!

Hi! I'm new to this group too. I've had PCOS for MANY years but am just now finally trying to take care of myself. I've been taking vitex off and on for a couple of years and that had only helped me have less heavy periods and them stop sooner. (they were lasting 3 months at a time!) I'm definitely curios about the…

Yes, your percentages was what I was looking for. I don't think I'm ready to go that extreme but I definitely want to up the fat and lower the carbs. Thank you.

I just joined! Thanks! I've had PCOS for many, many years but i just started trying to do something about it. I'm loving this group already!

How have you adjusted your MFP to reflect the style of eating you want? Such as percentages or goals of carb/fat/protein?

I'm new here and trying read a bunch of posts. What is LCHF?
