Low(er) Carbers...Dreamfields or Not?
I have been watching my carbs for my PCOS. By no means have I cut them out completely. I still net below 60 a day.

Top Heavy....

Oh Carbs, Why Must You Torture Me???
So, I have noticed that my carb intake is ridiculous per meal. SO, I was wondering, who has cut carbs and does it work? And I mean, REALLY, does it work? Can you stick with it, what did you find was the most difficult part?

Belly Fat Burners??
Unfortunately most of the weight I have gained has gone straight to my belly, resulting in some very awkward conversations with cashiers who inquire about the baby I am not carrying... So, I keep hearing all of this stuff about Cortisol and how it makes you retain belly fat. But they also say that there are foods that…
