I have just been diagnosed with PCOS. my
weight is a HUGE problem. before most of
my symptoms started showing up i was
sitting at 145-150 lbs (and fine with it.)
within weeks i ballooned! in the first
month i hit 200. now i am sitting at 260,
and my body cant handle it. it hurts to
walk, sit, or stand for more than 10 min
at a time. i can't sleep. i get shin
splints from grocery shopping. my heart is
starting to beat irregular. my skin is so
stretched that i have, not just stretch
marks, but now i have torn tissue. (the
other day one actually tore open and
bled.) i have always eaten healthy. i try
to work out daily for at least 20 min, i
even have a trainer at my gym. i work out
constantly with no change.
what kind of diet a person with PCOS
should be on? what type of excersizes
should i be doing? i have gotten answers,
then they are contradicted in the next
sentence. and the answer my doctor said
was google it.
Please help me, i need to get this weight
off fast, my body cant take it

Common symtpoms of PCOS include irregular
cycles, hirsutism, sterility, miscarriages
and difficult time managing weight. No
matter your disease, you can’t become
overweight if you don’t ingest excessive
food. Every case of weight increase is
due to food ingestion that is more than
the normal body’s needs. To investigate
the particular dietary regimes for PCOS
,you can consult an endocrinologist who
can help you set up a meal plan.
