More than likely if you are having problems losing weight and it seems like you are in this endless cycle or have any other symptoms, you have PCOS already, not just PCO............I ended up going to 10 or 12 doctors before I found one that actually diagnosed me and I had full blown diabetes by then, not just insulin…

Thank You, thank You, Thank You................................ I am demonized and told I have it all wrong when I have been saying the same thing...............

Actually there is debate on the natural occurring saturated fats (animal fats). Saturated fats are not as "unhealthy" as previously thought. I, myself consume quite a bit of saturated fat (love that strip of fat on a thick, juicy ribeye) and I am losing weight just fine - along with my blood work improving…

Everything is good at Trader Joes!!!! I wish we had one closer.

These are anything BUT healthy................... Sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats, which are the most dangerous fats to eat in any quantity). Anything that has to be fortified with nutrients is not nutritional in the first place............
-
Actually fruit should always be eaten with protein to avoid the blood sugar rollercoaster.
-
Yep, you are correct................ Food manufacturers, and the government are getting more creative of keeping the bad stuff on everyone's grocery list........... That is why if it doesn't come from the earth or have a mother, I no longer eat it. so anything I put in my mouth has to be grown.

That is South Beach, which personally I can not do....................
