I see alot of you have lost weight with MET -
PLEASE HELP !!!

I am now on 1000mg of MET and can still eat what I want - what should I be eating to lose weight?
I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to eat certaing things - granted sometimes I get messed up on greasy foods..

I am 40 and TTC on just MET for right now - until the Dr. finishes testing...I'd like to loose some weight too - again PLEASE HELP....

Thanks,

Jackie

PCOSers need to eat to control their hormones..and the best way to do that is to eat to keep insulin (the major hormone) in check.

I did that with the Insulin Resistance diet and it's been a HUGE help with the meds. Not only did my hormones normalize after years of meds and high #'s, the side effects from the drug disappeared when I started eating better too.

Check out THIS LINK on the IR diet.

Good luck!

Christy -

I have been following the boards for a couple of years now and have read your very impressive story....

Thanks for getting back with me on this issue....can you please give me a sample menu that you follow - I know you have done this in the past for people, but I haven't been around for a while....plus....
I have gotten married again - last November - and we are nowTTC - I am 40 so I don't have alot of time...

Thanks for your help with this....

The link I gave you has sample menus...as does the book. You just need to pick protein sources that you like and make sure you balance the carbs you eat with protien.

I like crab, so a sample lunch for me would be to bake some crab, wrap it in a whole grain tortilla with cheese and veggies and it is fully linked and balanced.

Also check out the IR Diet support thread. The ladies there will have tons of info.

Good luck!
