PCOS & Atkins: Success Tips/Stories?From: Liz (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 21 Aug 2002 12:44:17 -0500 (CDT)
I am struggling to lose weight on Atkins. The first week of induction I lost 5 pounds, now weeks later I have had no other weight loss. I have been under 20 grams per day. I have read and re-read his chapter on “Treating Extreme Metabolic Resistance”. I have eliminated salads and vegetables to once a day. I am down to eating only meats and cheeses. I am getting desperate and think it might be just easier to eating nothing at all! Searching on the Atkins website gave me the advice of eliminating cheese. If I eliminate cheese all I will be eating all day is meat! I am getting sick of meat…it doesn’t taste good anymore. I am beginning to think I should just go back to my normal way of eating and just maintain. It will take me a long time to accept that I will be 70 pounds overweight for the rest of my life. That there is nothing I can do about it. I am also so very tired. I have 6 month old twins so you can imagine the amount of sleep I get. I hate PCOS and feel cursed. If I could only lose the weight I could maintain easily. I lost all the weight from my pregnancy within the first month after birth without doing anything. I don’t know why…maybe for the first time in my life my hormones worked correctly while pregnant? I am now struggling to lose the weight I gained on fertility drugs and from the time before I knew I had PCOS and all it’s carbohydrate issues. Why is this so hard? Has anyone any advice or similar situations?
