I am not sure why you've been put on a diet involving so many carbs??? That seems really weird with this disease. I know many of us were put on typical low fat, high carb diets before and we mostly gained weight on them. Lots of carbs would, I believe, increase your insulin levels and so make your symptoms (including weight gain) worse. Definitely ask your doctor what her reasoning was for giving you this diet and don't let her tell you that the carbs are there for controlling hypoglycemia and controlling a prediabetic condition etc. (I have heard all this before!) You're NOT a diabetic, you have PCOS, and need to stabilize your insulin production. Right???
