I would recommend taking your daughter off of bc and putting her on the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet. I was told by a Reproductive Endo in June of 2000 that I had PCOS. I was started on Glucophage XR at 500mg 2 tablets per day. In November of 2000, at that time my weight was out of control. I was weighting close to 350 lbs. I came across a diet in Woman's World mag for the Carbohydrate Addict and went on the diet. It along with the Glucophage changed my life. I'm 5'10 1/2 and I now weight 240 lb. I followed the diet to the letter and within the first three months I had lost 30lbs, within six months, I was down sixty pounds. The diet is published in the 2/15/00 Woman's World Magazine and/or you can purchase the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet by Heller and Heller at Walmart, Kmart or Ebay. If you have any questions or can't locate the diet please email me at NapHart2@yahoo.com
