Lose fat and prevent further problems with insulin and pcos- diabetes runs in my family, type 1 & 2.

I do indeed have insulin sensitivity recently diagnosed with pcos will I fare better on low carb? I am not overweight btw :)

How did you originally find cutting the carbs? Did it leave you tired and hungry? As that's what puts me off low carb most of the time. Thankyou!

Sorry can you please explain to me about muscle glycogen depletion does this mean I will lose muscle mass? Thankyou your answer was very helpful :')

And I know but it's likely that when I do reduce my carbs it will be easier if I've transitioned off grains and into mainly fruit

I am small but hold excess fat in the things and have read this is often due to carb/sugar storage.

The middle is meant to be carbs not protein.

I just said above, but you answered the thread just as I posted so you wouldn't have seen it :)I want to lose body fat and maintain current muscle mass as I'm hoping to build a little more when I have shed fat.

Loss of body fat whilst maintaing lean muscle. I strength train 3x a week doing interval circuits with weights for 45 minutes- 1 hour a time then finish with 15 minute Hiit after that. I also do Hiit for 20 minutes 3 times a week.

You need good carbs and more protein. Try Breakfast: try porridge for breakfast with berries, a teaspoon of honey and cinnamon Lunch: try quinoa- a grain that gives more protein if you don't want to give up grains, choose quinoa a vegetable of choice & some healthy vinaigrette or something. Snack: try Greek yoghurt. 170g…
