Asianaaaa, I read A Patients Guide to PCOS from Walter Futterweit back in Sept. of 07 when I was Dx. It was eye opening and very informative. It got me started on the path that I am on now. I just dusted it off and starting reading it last weekend, it's like a whole new book because now things actually make sense to me!

As for the Low GI diet.. I goggled and it let it take me to a bunch of different sites and gathered recipes that way which are now on my recipe blog. Here are a few I have run across that are stored in my favorites...

Regarding needing some motivation... it's okay to jump off the wagon for a day.. just jump right back on.. tomorrow is a new day. Keep focused on what's important to you... controlling PCOS symptoms, loosing weight, getting healthy, lowering some levels that might be elevated, feeling good, etc.. I held onto all of those things. It really comes down to a decision, it's something I've commited to for life. I know I cannot go back to my old ways, and I've worked so hard to get where I'm at. All I can see at this point is the scale saying 156 lbs! Find out what's important to you, what drives you! Were always here to help

Some of these have recipes and information about Low GI, some just have recipes... but they are all good.

Good luck Keep me posted on your success!!
