Thank you Paula for responding the first time I posted this, ------------------------------------------------------

Hello. I went to a new Doctor last week, and he confirmed my PCOS ------------------------------------------------------ diagnosis. ------------------------------------------------------ Under a previous doctor I was put on BCP and Aldactone. I was on for 4 years - over which I changed many brands of pills.

When I started I was around normal weight / 135 lb. After meds.. have fluctuated between 145 and 160 until the last pill I went on - Ballooned upto 175 in a few weeks. I started shedding hair on Mircette like crazy. I quit all meds about 3 months ago.

So now the new Dr. thinks I am IR... and suggested low-carbing ( having testing done to confirm IR status). This is the worst thing for me... Rice is the staple of our diet everyday. That is going to have to change.

Here are my questions... Sorry I have so many!!!

1. I need to lose 45 lbs. Which of the low carb diets would be best for someone like me whoc does not want to measure everything. Unfortunatly for me, I am a real 'Foodie' - I love food!! Anyway, I need something practical I can follow. From what little I know about Atkins, I do not think it is plausible for me.

2. I know that individual weight loss varies, but how long do you think it will take for me to acheive my goal... keeping all else the same? Are we talking months... years?

3. How come I still had hirsuitism, absent menses, etc. when I was normal weight before going on the pill?

4. Is it possible for me to correct the PCOS by low -carb dieting alone?

5. Does the low carbing help with scalp hair loss?

I know there are a lot of questions here. I do thank all of you for your time and responses. It is a real asset to have this forum.

If you can refer me to an article which may answer some of these questions that would also be great!

Oncae again... THanks a lot!! Jauna
