I Feel So Alone

I feel so alone. No-one I know has PCOS and my doctors are useless
I was diagnosed in April 2015 and was given very little information about it and was told to lose weight to manage it, I've done various different diets/ life style changes and nothing ever happens, I lose a bit and then gain it back again. I've seen a dietitian and she's looked through a food diary and asked me how I cook my food and she can't see anything wrong with the way I eat. I walk a lot of places, I love walks, but… read more

I've had to change my entire diet. I'm off sugar 100%. Don't eat wheat ( Wheat belly diet has some other options) My diet basically consists of eggs, meat, high fat, lots of veggies and fruit with low glycemic index. No dairy ( or very limited- sometimes cottage cheese) and 2-3 L of water every day.
The difference in how I feel is incredible. The first week I thought I'd die. I had horrible withdrawal and migraines but once I passed that it was like I was a different person.

My best advice is eat a low carb diet, no dairy, not gluten, no sugar. Then do strength training if you haven't started that already. This combination is the only thing that has helped me.

I struggled/still struggle to find the right physicians that understand PCOS and will treat me. I would try another doc. I personally stopped taking metformin because it did not help my symptoms, but it does help a lot of people and I was prescribed it without trying to conceive.

I lost a stone then in one week I put back on 7lb and I didn't change a thing in the diet like you and I just wondered what was the point and just live with it... I'm going to go back to the docs and hopefully see someone more clued up on it.
