Prevent further weight loss
Hi!
I was hoping to keep a couple of pounds above my minimum to lose just before ovulating in our attempt, but I’m at my minimum and don’t want to lose any more. I’ve just ovulated and will TTC next month, so just trying to hold fast a bit longer.
I’m doing PCOS LE vegan, plus 1 hour walking five days a week. I’ve been aiming at 40g protein (which I’m almost always under) and 50g-60g of fat. I don’t have much in the way of carbs (I don’t eat bread or pasta), so what should I do to stop further weight loss? I’m going to make sure I get to my 40g protein a day. Should I have more carbs and stick to a max of 60g fat? Animal protein isn’t an option.
Thank you!

What XX said. Try also eating more veggies to help stop weightloss (remember low carb veggies are free) and for protein adding in more beans, tofu, and grains. It's important you get enough protein on LE especially with PCOS.

Thanks ladies. I’ve been eating loads of free veggies. I think more grains is the way to go. That should bump up my protein and hopefully keep my weight steady. Thank you!

No, on PCOS Diet you need 50-60 g of both protein and fat.
You're going to have to increase carbs, that's the only way I know to stop weight loss. Fat doesn't help.
