Agreed!! Don't cut out sweet potatoes. There are plenty of foods to cut out or limit, but this ones a keeper ;) Vitamins Low glycemic index (complex carb) Potassium Fiber * Just eat with a protein to offset carb calories.

Could be a couple factors: 1. Did you use the same scale and weigh yourself at the same time from the week before? 2. Water weight from salt retention over the holidays 3. Did you weigh yourself after using the Lou or before? I'm serious. It is unlikely to gain 4 lbs of "fat" in just one week. However, muscle weighs more…

Remember you still have to eat enough calories if you're exercising more! Otherwise your body will think it's "starving" and you won't lose...

@Nicole_kayy , thank you for "friending" me on here and I feel your frustration. Were in this together! I disagree with the above commenter about blood glucose levels and her suggestion for pre-diabetes. It is very normal for blood sugar to raise after eating a meal and drop a couple hours later. Most people need to eat…

How completely frustrating for you! I'm so sorry you had those bad experiences with that dr and staff. In my research of PCOS, I've found it can manifest SO many different ways... and as long as you have 3 symptoms out of a very long list, the doctors will diagnose you. Have you tried Metformin yet? I suggested this to my…

There's evidenced based literature out there that YOGA is actually seen to increase insulin sensitivity in PCOS subjects. Don't have a link but you can use google scholar to search. I'm thinking bt trying that :)

I have been on every diet program out there since I was 10 (Which btw isn't recommended anymore at that young an age). I've seen nutritionists, trainers, lost, gained, you name it. After recently putting back on weight due to a mix of inactivity of nursing school/studying, stress, and eating the wrong foods, I am motivated…

I wish I had only 27% body fat! Seriously though, you still need good carbs like those found in fruit and whole grains. Try Ezekiel bread, quinoa, and brown rice. Just use portion control. Very low carb is not maintained long term for most people.

If you have higher C intake, your iron will be more readily absorbed... not negated.

Dr or Nurse Practitioner is fine too. You may have calculated wrong or it may be a discrepancy in the scale you are using. Either way, best to let them do an assessment and then you'll take it from there together ! :)

2 Eggs sunny side up with a slice of Ezekiel bread OR plain Greek yogurt/frozen blueberries/oats. Every am one or the other :)

To answer your question...While sugar in fruit signals insulin to increase, so your cells can take the glucose in for energy, there are lots of vitamins in fruit and veggies we absorb better than supplements so we still need them. If you are someone who has to worry about insulin, it's best to eat a protein with the fruit…

Hi Nicole Kayy, I have battled this my whole life and have yo-yo dieted, lost, and gained. Currently, Im in nursing school and am generally less active and not eating as healthy as I should. So I recently went to a dietician who had experience and success working with clients with PCOS. I wanted a healthy eating plan as…
