I'm not as concerned about weight loss as I am about the LE diet swaying blue for me. While not officially diagnosed, I do have a lot of symptoms of PCOS and the LE diet may raise my testosterone and insulin and sway blue! So AS said there's no harm in trying the PCOS diet this time.
if you research the foods on the PCOS diet-peanut butter, beans, brown rice, whole grains-- you'll see that while a bit healthier than traditional LE foods, they actually still have very very little nutritional value, so that makes me feel better. The powerhouses of nutrition are really meat and whole eggs and the vibrantly colored fruits and fats like avocado, coconut oil, tree nuts, etc.
