How much do you need to lose and what is your current BMI?I gained 4 stone without trying due to a whacky thyroid and lost most of it once I started on NDT as Levo didn't do much for me. If your thyroid gland isn't up to scratch there isn't much you can do about excess weight. It's one of the main symptoms of hypothyroidism. I then started HRT for menopause and promptly put on a couple of kilograms, then came the diabetes diagnosis and I stopped HRT and went a very strict LCHF diet and lost ten kilograms over a some months. You say you've tried LCHF and didn't lose weight on it. Can you tell us what your diet looked like? You see, even if not everyone lose weight on LCHF most people do if the fat content is high enough and it is said to work very well for PCOS indeed. The problem is that with PCOS you may have to go very low carb indeed as the condition in itself causes severe insulin resistance. And very low carb means very high fat or it may not work as well.</blockquote>
