I keep reading that low to moderate carb diet are best for PCOS ladies... I can deal with moderate but not low. But for me since i've been taking Metformin... the problem is sugar.... any types of sweets I have a hard time with. Gimme gimme gimme... I have cravings and they just won't go away and when i cave in, its bad... and i mean really bad. So far I have managed to lose 45lbs and I really don't know how I have done it because i can, (i swear i can cause i've done it 2 days ago) eat a tub of ice cream or even a full bag of oreo cookies.

I guess what I am looking for are tricks to kick the cravings for carbs and sweets. And please don't tell me to eat something else because that just doesn't work..

Help!
