PCOS & DietFrom: Kim (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 1 Jan 2003 20:40:26 -0600 (CST)
Hi, I have just logged on to this site and it is great that PCOS sufferers are able to talk to someone that understands. I have had PCOS for over two years, along with diabetes and have found it extremely hard to loose weight. I have been on Metformin for a few months, but am not really feeling the benefits. What I have discovered though is an eating plan that seems to help. Over here in UK the eating plan is devised by 'Slimming World' and consists of Original & Green days. I find that by following the Original days (which mainly consist of protein) the weight slowly comes off. It is not like the Atkins diet where you only eat eggs, meat, fish & cheese, it consists of lean meats and fish, plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, low fat cottage cheese, Mullerlight Yoghurts with a very limited amount of wholemeal bread & pasta, thus keeping down the carbohydrate and fat intake. This is a very healthy diet, with plenty of unlimited foods that you can eat, so you shouldn't feel deprived or hungry. Although this may be slightly more difficult to follow this if you live in the US as a lot of the 'free' foods that you can eat are listed in a book which contain UK supermarket brand foods, it is not impossible. I hope that this info can help someone out there. The 'Green' days for this diet also work, but not if you suffer from PCOS as these days involve a lot of pasta, rice & potatoes. I, too have had terrible mood swings and irritability, it's a good job my partner is very understanding!!
-- Take Care, Kim
