Hi,
I have PCOS too.  I am on 1000mg og metaformin.  My endocrinolist suggested
the Zone diet by berry sears.  It still resticts certain carbs but allows
alot more than the Atkins diet.  I have been doing it for twelve weeks and have
lost 32 pounds.  I feel incredible.  I hope this helps.  I slo work out three
days a week with weights and do cardio 5 times for 30 min when I can.
