LE PCOS - not losing weight
Ok so I've had quite a few "off" days from the diet...but regardless I really just feel myself getting fatter on this diet :0
even though i'm usually at the very least staying at the 1200 calories......
I also had a blood test done and everything was normal BUT my testosterone was high for the first time at 49 (range was 0-48) and also my leptin was 24.5 which also seemed to be pretty out of range. My DHEA also was 688 when the max is 701, which seems functionally out of range. Now I'm all of the sudden panicking like I won't be able to ever even start to try with all these wacko levels!

So in this case, the issue isn't the weight loss but what the weight loss is telling us, if that makes sense.
I don't think you need any blood tests necessarily. You can ask for a diabetes screen but the blood tests really aren't that informative. We'll see what happens with the change in diet.
I want to see what happens when we change the diet before starting any supplements.
