Hi!

Your last reply was good. There are many low-carb "programs" out there. I'm currently doing Atkins. You are looking for a "reasonable" program. That depends on what you think "reasonable" is. Many women with PCOS (including me) have to drop our carbs quite low in order to lose weight. Right now I'm in the Induction phase of Atkins. In the Atkins diet you start on a very low amount of carbs (only 20 grams) for about two weeks and then work your way up to a level that you can still lose weight on. Everyone's level will be different depending on how metabolically resistant they are. Some people can eat a lot of carbs and lose weight and some cannot. You can buy the book at any bookstore for about $5 or on Amazon.com. I also get support and recipes from http://www.atkinsfriends.com. This is a great site. They have boards like this one where people who are low carbing can get support and share info. I've met quite a few PCOS ladies there. Anyway, below I have listed a few sample menu ideas for each meal. Remember, I am in Induction which is the most strict level of the program. No pasta, bread, sugar from any source, potatoes, etc. Remember, I will not always be this restricted! I do not find this difficult to follow at all. I'm always satisfied. Feel free to e-mail at anytime! God bless! Tera jasonandtera@att.net

Breakfast: ** a two or three egg omelet with some sauteed mushrooms and a bit of cheddar ** some smoked salmon with a little cream cheese ** an Atkins shake

Lunch: ** a large scoop of chicken salad mixed with Hellman's mayo (lowest in carbs) and/or a large scoop of tuna salad with a pickle and a small green salad with oil and vinegar dressing ** a few sugar free, non processed cold cuts and a small amount of cheese with a small green salad or steamed broccoli ** a big pile of buffalo chicken wings (no sugar in seasoning) with blue cheese dressing, a few small pieces of celery and a small green salad or steamed green veggie ** country salad made with greens, hard boiled egg, bacon and a bit of blue cheese

Dinner: ** grilled salmon or other fish or seafood and a small green salad or steamed or grilled veggie with some cheese sauce (no flour, no milk) ** chicken cordon blue made with chicken breast, a slice of sugar free ham, and a thin slice of swiss cheese and broiled with a small green salad or steamed broccoli ** chicken caesar salad (heavy on the chicken marinated in olive oil and garlic) with a small amount of cheese and a low carb dressing ** small lean steak with a few stuffed mushrooms and a small spinach salad

Snacks: ** low carb, sourcream based dip with pork rinds (low carbs) ** hard boiled egg ** sugar free jello ** chicken drummie or a few stuffed mushrooms
