Slowww weight loss!!

[jennypenny]

Just wondering if anyone thinks I'm doing the wrong diet, as in should I be doing the pcos diet.

I don't have any of the symptom of pcos, but my weight loss is extremely slow and is Mostly hovering at the same weight!

I am doing 60 mins cardio 6 days a week also.

Not sure if the white carb option is working for me and whether should try the alternative. I just don't know what else I could change?

Whenever I read of people losing too much weight, it just make me wonder why my weight loss remains static?!

How much do you have to lose? If it's a lot, I'd definitely switch to the PCOS diet.

How much do you have to lose? What is your current weight and bmi?

Hiya,

My bmi is about 24.6 at the moment.

My original weight loss at the start (last July)was ok as I had been eating so badly after my holiday that some weight came off quickly. But since about September it has stayed pretty much the same.

I'm the kind of person who could literally starve for a week (obviously not doing anything like that at the moment!!) And loose 1lb.

I put on weight very easily, and have always had to be on low fat diets to stay the weight I am. Looking weight is soooo difficult.

Have read a bit about pcos diet, and although I've never had any of the symptoms, think I may have pcos tendancies??

No idea why that message displayed twice lol!!

I would switch to PCOS diet based on your tendencies. Just don't lose too much weight or too fast! Are you muscular?

I think you should try the pcos diet. Good luck!

You could have insulin resistance without having full PCOS. Probably worth changing to the PCOS diet.

Thanks everyone!! Definitely gonna try pcos diet , I have just weighed myself an I have put on a pound!!!!! Agh!!!

I'm not particularly muscular, although probably more so than I was before kids (lots of carrying big heavy toddler boys lol!!)

Will need to read a lot about it though, to get an idea of what I should and shoul not be eating!!

[maidentomother]

If you aren't particularly muscular then your body fat should be adequate and I think you'll do great on the PCOS diet. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Yes you need to switch to the alternate diet if you have weight left to lose and it's not going away. You may be slightly insulin resistant which means that you may not get as many benefits for your sway from the standard form of LE. It's not just the weight loss, it actually may be worse for your sway.

[atomic sagebrush]

:agree: totally that whenever you have a history of slow weight loss you can benefit from the alt. diets. It's believed that 70-100% of all ladies would eventually develop PCOS if lifestyle supported it strongly enough so it's a good option for anyone in this boat. :)

[jennypenny]

Thanks everyone. Starting alternative diet today :)

Would be great if it helps to shift the extra weight I would like to lose xx
