I have Pcos,which diet better?
I have pcos,have been to the gynaecologist,who say i am not in need of any tretament,unless i have probs trying to conceive in future,i am taking the pill and metformin to aid symptoms of it,and have a facial lotion to use twice a day to help with acne,which is at mo i can say under control,i've only managed to lose half a stone,and things are going very slow,also because i feel i am not really trying with one thing more than another.
The dietician i saw a few months back told me to watch by count sugar and fat intake in a 100gms,but i was concerned that although she told me to reduce my starchy carb intake that under the levels she's told me to follow,that i could still stuff aload of other stuff day to day,or to fill up and replace things i've had to cut out.
The gynaecologist told me there was no specific diet to follow,but then said as your body is resistant to things,and insulin carbs and insulin don't go well together,so i was to reduce these,but then also not over do my calorie intake no matter what method of eating i try!!
So should i just reduce my calorie intake,as this is what my cousin did although she is not known to have same probs,and ate less and went gym and has lost stones,looks great,or shall i just reduce my carb intake?!
I'm sort of doing a bit of both genrally i think and although its keeping weight down,i juts feel like i will never get to where i want.
Any advice please,thankyou.

PCOS is a condition that has a strong impact on a woman’s fertility, and affects between 5% to 10% of women of child bearing age. Because a woman’s body doesn’t produce enough eggs when she suffers from PCOS, it can cause infertility and contribute to difficulties in falling pregnant.
Most cases of PCOS are not genetic, but they are all related to hormonal abnormalities. The reason not enough eggs Read the rest of this entry »

Just by watching an hour of TV, or flipping through your favorite magazine you know of the thousands of weight loss “plans” or diets that are around today. For women with PCOS, it may be a bit misleading or confusing…. we know we’re supposed to watch our carbs, only eat “good carbs” as this is what best controls our insulin resistance, therefore controlling our PCOS. But the question is, which Read the rest of this entry »

I have elevated androgens, acne, mild hair loss, excess body hair. My weight is perfect though. I also have mild hypoglycemia due to insulin issues.

Herbal treatment for PCOS?
Has anyone benefited from herbal treatment for PCOS? If you have could you give the name of the medical herbalist or the herb that helped you to regularise your period?
The number one cause of infertility in women is called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Five to seven percent of all women are affected by PCOS which is a metabolic disorder. If it is left untreated, PCOS can greatly increase the risk of endometrial cancer. To make matter worse, women with PCOS are at a higher risk for such conditions as diabetes and heart disease. In the past, diet was never thought of as an important role in the treatment of this condition. Since the discovery of the benefits of insulin resistance, many experts now are sure that diet plays an important role in the treatment plan.
Even though there is still more research to be done it is still believed that with a proper diet, insulin levels can be reduced which will not only help with unstable menstrual cycles, acne and hirutism, it may also decrease the chances of diabetes and heart disease. Below are some diet recommendations that may help you to control your PCOS.
o Low carbohydrate can cause dehydration so it is very important to drink at least 8 cups of a non carbonated drink. Of course water being the best choice.
o Stay clear of carbohydrates by themselves. Instead, try to combine your carbs with a fat and/or protein
o Make sure you space out the carbs you intake daily. This will ensure that you will have less of a rise in your blood sugar and insulin peak, rather then taking all your carbs in one sitting.
o Make sure you exercise regularly, to help keep you performing at your peak levels.
o Try to not lower your carb intake so low that you go into ketosis. Most pharmacies sell strips that you can test your urine to see where your ketone levels are at. Eating less than 40 grams of carbs per day can start ketosis.
o Make sure to choose foods that are lower on the glycemic index as they will ensure blood sugar to rise more slowly.
o Stay away from the carbs that trigger more cravings and/or hunger such as pasta.
o Suggested mineral and vitamin supplements:
o Take a daily multivitamin with minerals and if you are trying to get pregnant then make sure that it contains a folic acid of at least 400 mcg.
o Try to take two to three 500mg of calcium daily. It is important to space them out as your body can only absorb so much at one time.
o Keep your intake of saturated fats to a minimum for a healthy heart.
As with starting any new diet, be sure to consult the advice of your doctor, to make sure that you are doing what is right for you and your condition.
