Hi!
My name is Kelly and I have been suffering pcos for six years now, I
have only recently through my own research that I was following the
wrong diet. Today once again I have been told to loose the weight the
natural way.
I found your e-mail interesting and would appreciate any help and advise
you can give me.
By the way I'm from Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
Thanks Guy's
