Re: Losing Weight

Did anyone receive this program through e-mail? I'd like to take a look
if at all possible... :)
I am not sure how long I have had PCOS, but from the types of symptoms I
have had I would say for the past 6 years. I have had the weight gain,
the hair growth where hair shouldn't be growing, and discoloration of
parts of my skin. I haven't lost any hair...that I know of yet.. but I
have also had only 2 periods in about 3 years.
I started off the beginning of the year counting my carbs, and lost 18
pounds that way. I am just curious about other types of diets that have
worked for ladies with PCOS though. If someone can forward me this, I
would be way appreciative.
Thanks so much,
Jacqui
