hello cysters i have something similar to this post on the diet and exersize forum"this is what the dr is doin for me". on 9/02/04 i went to to my gyn whom is very reaserched in pcos and insulin resistanse and he instructed me to go on a 3 day fast only water. i hesitated but agreed willing do do anything to get my insulin down so when i get married in april i will be able to get pg. so i started it and in two whole days i have lost 8 lbs.my sugar is not to low. and i am not dizzy anymore (today is the third day) tommorow i start low cal lo carb and i go back in two weeks. i was just wondering if anyone else has done this and the results all replies will be appreciated.if you want to read the posts in diet and excersize it tells what i went threw each day and certain parts of the day.

I have never heard of this.

Did your doctor give you any research to back up the reasoning? I am glad to hear about your success so far. Gook Luck with it!

I've heard about using 3 day fasts to detox, but I've never done them. (or heard of them used for PCOS)

I did read a bit in the other post. I definetly agree that if you eat in the morning, then throughout the day you'll get more and more hungry. If I don't eat, I'll probably be ok. But once I do eat, I have to eat all day.

I've also heard of using saunas to detox. (since you're sweating out the toxins....same premise as exercise)
