Diana,
I don't have PCOS, but the low carb diet has done great for me and it's
not all that expensive I'll give you the list of Do's and Don'ts my PA
gave me with this diet:
You Can have:
Meat
Cheese
Green Veggies
Salid
Mushrooms
Whole Wheat No sugar bread
Can Not Have:
Sugar(anything that has sugar in it)
Flour(anything that has flour in it)
corn
raw carrots
rice
pasta
potatoes
I am really overweight seriously, and I managed to lose almost 40 pounds
in two months. I wish you lots of luck cause diets can be hard to stick
to at times takes alot of willpower. I know I have had a hard time
lately sticking to mine but I am tring to get back on track, have had
some other health problems and have let them get me depressed but I am
tring my best to work through them. Good luck and take care!
