Dear Fellow PCOS Patients:

I am sure that someone in this forum there is the ultimate guide to the correct diet program that will help me lose weight and stop these carb cravings, but I don't know where to start!

Does anyone have any suggestions at all about what books to read, diet programs to begin that are SIMPLE. I am on glucophage-xr and that seemed to help in the beginning as far as controlling some of my cravings, but now it seems that I am a carb junkfood junkie again! I'm gaining back all the weight I lost and I'm at my wits end about trying to plan my own diet. I need someone or some material that will spell it out plainly about how to eat when you have PCOS.

Will diets that work for people without PCOS work for us or do we need to modify the diet?

Believe me when I say that I have the intelligence and the tools to follow a diet like this (I am studying to be a nurse), but, boy oh boy, when it comes to myself all of my education just flies out the window and I reach for that sweet thing or high carb meal. I'm constantly on the go with school and work so I'm extra tempted to grab things on the go also.

Could really use some help. Oh, also, I am not trying to get pregnant at this time (probably within the next 4 years) and I am taking desogen in addition to the glucophage. My cholesterol is a tiny bit elevated at about 214 and my blood sugar and blood pressure as well as all of my hormone levels are good. At one point I did exhibit the hirsutism that is associated with PCOS but since starting the glucophage it seems that that is under control and even becoming lighter again and hardly noticeable. My skin is clear also. Now if I can just get my weight under control.

I am just so terrified that I'm going to continue to gain weight if I don't get my diet under control and start exercising. I just don't know where to begin.

Thank you very much for answering a question that has probably been visited many many times in the past.
