same being said when we try to 'add' something to a product otherwise in it's natural state. humans, cant just stop touching things :smiley:

I have no advice for you except to be patient. The change in met or the change in woe or both can affect your cycle and it takes time to adjust itself. Patience is not always easy tho, so I'll also add big HUGS and say hang in there.

Not disturbing, empathetic. I get it, I do. Raised around animals my whole life also, dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, rats, fish, even had an endangered Desert Tortoise stay in our yard for a couple years when I was a kid. Have paired down on my pet list now, only have ferrets, cats, dog as in the house type pets. But we…

Depends on your macros and what works for you. Most of us PCOS women need to LCHF to some degree to lose weight, so there are quite a few fruits and some veggies you would have a hard time fitting into your WOE. Wheat/gluten and dairy also can cause some issues with some PCOS women, both in how they feel and in weightloss,…

No problem and dont be intimidated! That wasnt my intention. But i know when you go into a new board, it is like a world of its own with its own language, so id rather let you in on the secret of the abbreviations now so you better understand what you read. :smiley:

I can use any AFs with no problem and often use them if i bake with almond flour or something, but daughter gets a bad headache from any AF but stevia. So we adjust what we make or eat for her but I dont count stevia as an AF as most of what we use i grew myself.

Oh reminds me, we make a dinner with sauteed kielbasa or smoked sausage pieces mixed with butter fried cabbage. OMG so good and low carb if you watch the amount in the kielbasa

Hopefully @Dragonwolf will chime in here again too as she's the most knowledgeable about PCOS but It isnt a low carb high protein diet, it is a low carb high fat diet, or LCHF as @KnitOrMiss Pointed out. Your body uses carbs first, then fats as fuel. High protein can cause problems. Can be hard on your kidneys depending on…

I use met, keto and Inositol to help with the insulin levels. They all seem to be meshing well and helping me also.

I like the ones from Aldi. We raise and butcher a pig every year and their cracklin is very hard, so I usually only use it in the place of bread crumbs. Aldi's Clancy version are very puffy and tasty, i think they have flavored ones too but I like the plain. Dipped in ranch or guac or something they are very good.

Often with PCOS and Insulin resistance, you have high insulin and normal blood glucose. I know I am not the only one on the PCOS boards who have had really high insulin and my blood glucose is smack dab in the middle of normal along with my A1C. So weird right?

I do net carbs, but that is because to me, veggies with some butter are ambrosia, food fit for the gods. But Ive never been a huge meat eater, even when I was a kid, so the LCHF has been a transition for me. So net lets me eat the veggies I love and keep within my carb goal. Seeing as it is 20 net carbs, I still dont get a…

Amazon has a few powdered and pill versions for very cheap. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OUKPC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 lasts me about 2 months, at 6g a day and is about $15

Oh dont take it that I was picking on you! I wasnt at all. You asked and I answered. We'd all love to take animal's feelings into consideration I am sure, but we've got to eat in a healthy way for our bodies. So we do what we have to do. Feeding yourself and your family is more important, imo, than where you get the meat.…

Made a chocolate and peanut butter wedding cake with it once. Chocolate cake with PB2 in the frosting for the peanut butter part.

Yes, raise my own pork, beef, chicken, duck and turkey. Ok dont raise my own...yet. Family wont agree to a milk cow. Something about my RA not letting me milk it and they dont want to do it everday twice a day. Wimps....lol Yes, raise my own chicken, duck and turkey eggs.

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 does not…
