Get his latest book 2001-2002 edition, I think all titles are the same. You may want to try Protein Power or Carb Addicts or Sugar Busters if you must have white rice. Can use switch to brown? I don’t know much about PCOS but if giving up the rice will help you conceiving would that not be worth it? Desiree

Stephanie, how are your insulin levels? I read a study in an OB/GYN journal that said miscarriages among PCOS patients were at 50% if they had high insulin levels. The study said when the insulin levels were brought down (they used metformin but I would think a diet could do the same) the levels came down to 10%. In fact, that’s why I’m trying to lose weight & bring my insulin down, because I knew in advance this might be problem in any pregnancy I might attempt. Hope this helped in some way. Lisa
