I learned my lesson

Question:

Hi Stacy, I have PCOS as well and my symptoms pretty much disappear when I am low-carbing. It’s amazing how a little bit of weight gain/loss has such a drastic effect on PCOS symptoms. Yet another reason for me to start Atkins again! Meg

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – After 15 years I went to the doctor and found out I had diabetes, pcos (bleeding), gallstones, fatty liver… etc., etc. Oh yeah and I am also morbidly obese which I already knew. I did the Atkins diet for 3 weeks… lost 10 lb…… felt great… stopped bleeding and my blood sugar was down in the normal range…. Man, I was on my way… AND THEN I went and spent a week with my sister who is also obese. She does Low-fat dieting and gets all this super expensive food with all the fat taken out. Well I am a nice person and didn’t want to cause waves so I did her low-fat stuff for a week. BIG MISTAKE! I gained back 6 lb., started bleeding again and my blood sugar went through the roof. So now I am back home with all my eggs, sausages, meats and salads and basically having to start all over again. But I learned my lesson…. low-fat does not work for me. Stacy p.s. thanks to those who recommended fitday.com! Tried it and love it. Works great.

Well after I lost about 10-15 lbs, the acne went away and I stopped feeling so moody. The nasty hot-flashes stopped as well. I’m on The Pill (Dianette) now so I have no idea if I would menstruate regularly or not. Meg

If she’s really lucky, she’ll come and stay with you for a week having the same attitude of ‘not wanting to be difficult’ and discover for herself the joy of LC!
