Another PCOS here, though my insulin resistance developed into T2 years ago. (Stay ahead of that if you can!) I went to a dietician in 2007, and she perscribed a high carb diet. I was already a big girl due to the PCOS and thyroid issues, but after following her horrible advice I added another 15 kilo's. I stopped weighing myself at 102, but I know I was bigger than that. Once I got the T2 diagnosis and learned low carb/high fat could get my bloodsugar numbers down, I went for it... And later went farther, going Keto and adding intermittent fasting. My bloodsugars are good now, and I lost weight without significant excersize. I'm 78 kilo's now, so dropped a fair bit, and am still losing weight. Dietdoctor.com has loads of info on diet and PCOS/Insulin resistance, so you might want to take a look around their articles. All in all, it's not so much the calories, it's the carbs. With insulin resistance we can't process them very well...Hiya everyone i have just joined this evening. I have Pcos and i am insulin resistant, could this be stopping me losing weight. I am training at the gym and burning thousands of calories each week, my diet is healthy but i have remained the same weight since september 2017. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it. i am only on high blood pressure medication at the minute nothing else. Thank you and any advice greatly appreciated
