PCOS and Low Glycemic DietFrom: Philippa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 15 Jan 2003 05:20:51 -0600 (CST)
Hello, I am 22 years old and have recently been diagnosed with PCOS and am on my thrid day of taking Metformin (1 x 500mg a day for first 10 days). Not only this but my doctor has advised me to go on a Low Glycemic diet and take regular exercise to lose weight. I am not greatly overweight (maybe about 7/10lbs), and was wondering if I will still manage to lose weight considering that I don't eat unhealthily and exercise at the moment anyway? Will this Metformin cause me to lose weight? Also I am a little confused about the low glycemic diet, as the index does not say how much of low G.I I should eat, and if I need to cut out high G.I altogether, i.e sugar in foods? I rarely eat chocolate or crisps but it is things like bread/pastry products which I do like to eat, so am finding it difficult to choose food for work considering most on offer are sandwiches?! I would be ever so grateful for any advice anyone has to give! Even practical ideas as how I can deal with this socially, because I would hate to become an annoying fussy eater! many thanks
-- Philippa
