Is Anyone On A Keto Diet Who Has Pcos? What Are Your Results?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have heard that some people who have PCOS went on a keto diet and their disease had reverse.
Many women had not fertility issues.

Ive been keto since the end of may and after 12 years of not having a cycle on my own i got one! Full blown! Cramps were horrible but i cant complain. I would only get my period when i took provera. I would spot randomly like when i was active and losing weight, but never a full on period, and without meds.

I love the keto diet. Surprisingly bread wasnt as hard to give up! I thought it was gonna be so hard. But i have had days where i ate stuff i shouldnt and let me tell you you feel like crap. If you prepare and go into keto with a plan it will be a lot easier.

Yes, some women have great success with it! I tried it and although I did lose the weight and lose it fast, I gained it all back and then some because I love carbs and could not maintain the diet. I've had success with a moderate carb diet, watching my sugars, logging my food on myfitnesspal.

I don’t want to say for sure that my cousin has PCOS but she and her husband were trying for over 5 years and finally got pregnant a few weeks ago. She has been on the keto diet for almost a year and lost over 100lbs. I really want to ask her if she has PCOS, but my husband and I are currently hiding it from our family. I was just diagnosed after our wedding and really want to get pregnant so if she does have PCOS, it would give me more hope on our TTC journey.
