Hi, I "cured" my PCOS using a low-carb/keto diet. Previously I had been vegetarian for 13 years so I focused on vegan low-carb options. When I say cured, I mean my symptoms have been gone for several years now, my cycles are super regular, I lose the excess weight, and my hormones have reset. I don't even have a strong…

Alcohol. A glass and a half of wine = a meal. After a 10 hour work day, it seems I have to choose between dinner or a glass of wine. Thankfully I don't drink that much.

This is a great idea!

I'm 5'6" but very skinny (size 0 jeans), and 118 lbs has been my weight for most of my adult life (until recently) so my calorie cap is generally lower too. I'm starting at 1600 but plan to lower it eventually (calculators say I should be around 12-1400!) Feel free to add me!
