Re: PCOSFrom: anonymous@obgyn.netWed, 1 Nov 2000 01:12:11 EST
Hi Kelly! Good to hear from you again! I am donig the Type 2 Diabetes diet. More for the health and PCOS reasons than to lose weight. I only have 20 or so to lose. Like I said, I know how hard it is. I could eat a full "good for me meal", be full to the gills, and still crave those carbs...its awful! But after a week and a half it was so much easier. I know what its like to try to quit smoking now!!!! I was having "carbo fits"!!!! The diet I am on makes you be very strict with your carbs for the 1st month or so then you can gradually increase. i think you start at 40 and can go to 100 or so if I am correct, I dont have the book w/me right now and I am not that far yet, anyway. What I really like about the book is it has meal plans and recipes, and a whole lot of motivation. Also so exercise ideas. That is my hardest thing, I will eat like a good girl...mostly....and not exercise!!! I really have to make my self do it, and I havent been. I have also been looking into this "glycemic index" stuff,too. I have read about it a bunch from the other ladies on the list and it is very interesting. But it conflicts with some of the things I have read in my Diabetic diet book. So I am a bit confused myself. My diet says that dairy is pretty much a no-no, but then certain dairy foods have a really low glycemic index....Also, I hardly ever get my period. I started looking up certain herbs and I started taking Vitex and using a progeterone cream. Within 2 weeks I got my period....I dont know if it would have happened anyway or if it was the herbs, but I was happy either way. Its getting late gotta go!!!! Jamie
