[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1163151, member: 41816"] No worries! :) I was losing slowly, so it took about 10 months to lose 20 pounds - but I want to stress that we are all different, and I suspect that we PCOSers are likely to find it more difficult than non-PCOSers, because our own hormones fight to maintain the weight. I am still obese, but definitely less so than I used to be! I also have other health issues that affect weight loss (more hormone stuff) which means that I am not typical. Regarding the dairy, you will find that all sorts of different dairy products have different amounts of carbs, depending on how they are made. Milk has a combination of carbs, fats and proteins, and when they make cheese, they usually drain the carbs and some protein out, so that lowers the carbs. Yet when they make cream and butter, they take both a lot of the carbs out, and all the protein... so each one is different. Cottage cheese has less fat in it, so what is left is higher carb. My advice would be to experiment, and see if you can lose while eating the dairy you like. If you can't, then start cutting back. Same with legumes. :) [/QUOTE]
