Do diets help thin cysters?

Has anyone experienced relief from symptoms after dieting e.g. low carb or low GI?

Esp hair loss/irregular periods.

Hi Sally,
I am not much help but I have wondered the same thing and have asked fellow cysters "what they eat." the whole IR/low- crab is still debated among endos studying PCOS and most of the studies involve higher BMIs. I am hoping people will respond so we can do our own, informal study.

Good Luck!

After I bought the PCOS Diet Book - I reduced carbs significantly and as much sugar as possible. I started exercising 4 to 5 times a week as well. I lost 10 pounds so quickly it was amazing. I went down to my normal pant size, too! I felt great and my acne and facial hair was managable. I still didn't O even on meds. At least I felt better about myself though!!!!!
