Subject: anybody successful with low carbing? Guidelines?
Message-ID: <200204161629.g3GGTDg02352@mail.medispecialty.com>
I'm 99% sure I have PCOS due to a family history of annovulation, weight
issues, whacky hormones, etc. and I'm trying to conceive #2 (DD was
conceived on Clomid). I'm still nursing, so I can't get Clomid, so I'm
in the process of weaning DD slowly, but in the meantime, I'm lowering
my carb intake. I really want to get pg fast as I miscarried 2 wks ago,
and I can't bare the thought of not being pg when my due date rolls
around. Has anybody had their cycles resume after low carbing? How
quickly did you see a difference? I'm not overweight, will that lower
the liklihood that I'll see a difference? And 'how low is low'? I'm
trying to stick to around 60 grams of carbs a day, is that low enough?
If you can post any good sites, I would really appreciate it.

Shelly,
I have a question. I have pcos and i was put on birth control pills to
regulate my periods. My doctor told me that birth control causes
insulin resistence. I was also told by a doctor a few years ago that i
am very likely to get diabetes. If i took a Chromium Supplement would
it help me balance out my insulin resistence and help my metabolism?
Please email me back as soon as you can. Thank You for your time
Sincerely,
Leah

Message-ID: <200204170239.g3H2dpC10661@mail.medispecialty.com>
I was on a low-carb but free calorie diet (eat all the meat and cheese
you want) for about a year, and I was down about 35 lbs, but had totally
plateued. I hadn't lost even a pound in three plus months, and was
getting desperate. I was still obese at 213lbs and wanted to be
"normal". Sooooo then, last year I went from 213 lbs in early February
to 178 lbs in mid April, losing 35 lbs in only two 1/2 months! At 5'7",
I wasn't skinny, but I wasn't fat either, and boy, was I having fun!!!
How did I do it? LOW FAT, LOW CAL and LOW CARB- I got serious, plain and
simple. I'd have a protein shake OR scrambled egg whites for breakfast,
grilled chicken breast, 2 pieces of sliced tomato and steamed veggies
for lunch, then more grilled chicken or fish, steamed veggies and salad
(with balsamic vinegar as dressing) for dinner. Snacks? Boiled egg
whites. You would think I would have been starving but I wasn't, I was
too motivated by the rapid loss, losing a clothing size every payday and
shopping all the time :) But then, I made a HUGE mistake. I thought
"you can't live without carbs forever, it's not good for you". So I
went off the restricted carb diet and guess what...now I've gained 60 of
the 70 total pounds back. I gained 40 of it in less than three months.
When you have PCOS and Insulin Resistance, these changes have to be
forever. I may have been able to increase fat and calories, but not
sugar. I have proven that eating 3000 calories a day and less than 30g
of carbs kept me at a stable weight, where 1500 calories with 90-120
grams of carb packed on all this weight. And, it's a vicious cycle. The
carbs make you hungrier, crave more, etc. and the gained weight makes
you depressed, so you eat more. I am getting back on track now and
going to see a Rep Endo on the 29th of this month. Hoping glucophage
will give me better long term alternatives. Anyway, this drug on
forever, but I just wanted to save someone else since I've been through
the pain of gaining all this weight back myself. Trust me, nothing
tastes as good as skinny feels!!!!
--
Good luck and take care,
Kyra
