Spironolactone
Question:
Me again Does anyone know whether taking spironolactone (for some of the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome) can hinder weight loss when low-carbing? Though I’m primarily going back to the L-C way of life to get my triglycerides down, it would be nice if I lost weight as well, and I’m trying to work out what might have been holding me back last time. cheers Rachel

Sometimes. I’m supposed to be on it, but my doctor wanted me to wait for three months to see if birth control pills help (she’s an idiot – I’ve been on BC for years). It is a YMMV thing. ~M’isa

I lost 45 pounds in 10 months taking 100 mg of Spiro a day. Sometimes I took 150 mg. I regained the 45 pounds back when I dropped off low carb and went back to my old evil woe.

The majority of my meals are meats/fish/eggs/poultry, green leafy vegetables, oils, and water.

Atkins talks about it being a potential staller. Im 39 and ahem! 10mos (almost 40!) I took it off and on for years for abnormal hair growth from PCOS symptoms that started when I was 15. It is a very mild water pill and it did absolutely nothing for me. Electrolysis is the best bet. Laureen 414/342/200 http://community.webtv.net/larryandlaureen/LaureensLowCarb

I take it and had no problems with it while in the weight loss phase of lc nor has it interfered with maintenance. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Me again Does anyone know whether taking spironolactone (for some of the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome) can hinder weight loss when low-carbing?
