Fat shamers.

I've had PCOS and various symptoms since 1985 and once I ended up with a desk job I was up to 316 pounds in 2000. Low Carb High Fat + Calorie deficit + Strength Training = Lessening of symptoms for me and weight loss I'm not sure where people get this 'cure' thing, there isn't one for PCOS. If you address the symptoms and…

They will shame me just as much for eating very healthy, exercising and being my best as much as a thinner person would shame me for being an ugly lazy sack of lard.

Your body is getting what it needs and blood sugar isn't getting spiked and crashing. Satiety started hitting me like a bus after the first week of Whole30 and I love it!

Snacks were only at birthday parties and those were few in my world. Now everything includes a snack. Kid going to go take a dump? Better send them with a snack!

I'm losing weight while unable to walk or use my left foot. Eating right = win :)

Eat healthier and try to get in some walking after each meal...that helped me keep my blood sugars and energy stable during pregnancy. I also did some pregnancy yoga from a dvd, that will help you later on when you are more uncomfortable. I guess the goal is to not lose muscle while pregnant. You will be really…

Advice given to me a few years ago that helped was to make sure you are eating enough fat and protein. I'm currently sitting on my rear for the tenth week with a broken foot along with ruptured planar plate and am losing weight. I log everything I eat and make sure to meet my macro goals each day. I'm eating around 1600…

Make sure to keep an eye on your carbs/fat/protein and not just calories. Protein powder helps and adding that along with coconut oil or even MCT oil to whichever type of breakfast 'cereal' you are making will help keep you full a bit longer. A carb overload with low protein and fat will have you gnawing on the desk by…

A pressure cooker works great for veggies and you can get a really great meal made in very little time (and it tastes better than a crock pot). Beans cook super fast, no more overnight soaks. My crock pot is now in storage. No need for it! Insta Pot is a great pressure cooker, but can be pricey.

Grilled steak on a stick with whichever marinade you can eat. Same works for chicken. Stew or soups with veggies that work for you. If you have a pressure cooker, there is a 30 minute chicken soup that is pretty darn good and you can add or leave out whichever veggies you want. I've made it about 20 times and it freezes…

I'd say for a basic answer is to try and eat more fat and protein. Olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, etc. will help. My carbs are around 100-120 grams a day and I'm eating 1500 or so calories a day and am full. I have 100 pounds to lose and am not active due to injuries and am still able to lose while not feeling like I'm…

I stopped buying processed food and learned to plan the week of meals ahead of time. On Saturday I shop and on Sunday I prep all the meals and snacks that can be made ahead of time. This way I have 'quick and easy' food choices for the week. Mark's Daily Apple is what got me pointed in the right direction.

Feel free to add me as well. Over 100 pounds to lose.

Mmm diet coke belly fat.

Paleo is eating a ton of veggies. Apparently people assume it's all fat and meat, but nope. Paleo is not a fad. Paleo eating habits also have nothing to do with the fact that our ancestors had zero access to modern medications. Of course they had much shorter life spans. Duh. I guess nobody has noticed that when one…

Just say no.

I plan meals on Friday/Saturday for the following week and do a lot of food prep on Sunday. Most days I already have the entries for the next day or so already entered. Those pint and a half jars sold on amazon hold overnight oatmeal and dinner salads pretty well and those meals can be made ahead on Sunday. Recipes for…

Some are creeps, others are nice people. Haven't had those topless women try to friend me yet though. :D

Rodney Yee power yoga when I was seriously out of shape. My back took forever to recover.

Doctor visit > forum answers :D

Living with it is a combination of the right healthy foods, exercise, laser treatments, etc. and is different with each person that has PCOS.

*twitches* Y'all are killing me! :D

Yes! The less processed and junk sugar packed your food is, the better your body will respond. Make sure the exercise you do is something you enjoy.
