LE PCOS - not losing weight

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes go ahead and add them now.

I would not make any more changes in protein/fat, let's see if the myo/cinnamon works first if that's ok with you.

Thanks for all your help! I started the Cinnamon for a few days and was good. I added the myo-inositol last night and was still fine. I had my next dose of the myo this morning because I wanted to switch to having it in the mornings...and I don’t know if that was just too close of a time between doses but it’s making me feel a little jittery. Do you think it may have those effects because I don’t actually need blood sugar regulation, since all of my insulin/a1c stuff came back in range etc? Or do those not matter when it comes to this? Only my testosterone and DHEA were high in my most recent labs (they haven’t usually been high in the past...do you think it’s the intermittent fasting causing the testosterone to spike?).

Thanks!

Actually my fasting blood glucose was on the higher end close to the range so I guess I wouldn’t call it normal

No, you should be seeing weight loss at that cal intake and that you aren't indicates to me you have some insulin resistance issues. Of the two, the myoinositol is more important so drop the cinnamon and try the myo on its own and see how it goes.

I ended up keeping both the myo and the cinnamon ... By when would you say I should see the difference on the scale? It’s been about a week now. If it’s not drastic, should I up the myo dosage?
I feel like I read somewhere before that 4000mg/day was good for pcos? Thx!!

No I don't want you to use more than that. We saw a lot of weird stuff happening at higher doses.

It can take time to break past a plateau. I know it's frustrating but I would give it at least a month to see what happens all thru the menstrual cycle (some of us hang on to weight at certain parts of the cycle and then see it fly off later)

Hi! So it’s been like 6 weeks I’ve added the myo and cinnamon. I rly don’t know what is happening but I am not losing any weight. I’ve actually gained in the last few weeks. Is there some sort of other alternative version of the girl diet l? I’ve never had SUCH a hard time losing weight.

Thanks!

We will just keep upping protein in 5 g increments till weight comes off. So try 5 more grams of protein than you were eating with everything else the same.

You can try upping both protein and fat in 5 g increments.
