Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2265551" data-attributes="member: 401801"><p>The "usual" advice that's given for weight loss doesn't take the hormonal imbalance into consideration that comes with ovarian cysts. PCOS sufferers are usually insulin resistant and headed for T2 (I'm a PCOS/T2), meaning the carbs are the problem, and those put the weight on while we rush headlong toward a T2 diagnosis. Going with a plan like Weight Watchers of Slimming World, or even the NHS's EatWell plate for instance, doesn't take any of that into account, as they're going from the assumption that there's nothing hormonally/metabolically wrong with the body that the diet's going in to. This is very much a medical thing though... And the diet has to be adjusted accordingly. If someone's lactose intolerant, you cut out milk. We're basically carb intolerant. Same solution: no carbs, fewer issues. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
