ok, so nobody jump down my throat for considering a fad diet.
as i have posted on this board quite a few times, i have PCOS and i have been doing some research and apparently the atkins diet is very good for PCOS. With pcos, we really do not handle sugar or carbs well, so the atkins diet is pretty effective for slimming down while having pcos. as well as managing some other symptoms. i gained a little pudge on my burning man trip due to inactivity while on the road trip as well as not watching my diet as dilligently as usual, and id like to just get it off of my body quickly.
Really though, id like to get my body to where it was before the PCOS symptoms started to jerk me around. this is maybe 3 yrs back before i even realized i had the problem.
i was wondering if anyone on here has done a ketogenic diet? it doesnt have to specifically be atkins, but it seems like atkins would just be easiest because they have their guidelines clearly printed online. I lose weight fastest when i reduce carbs, but i have never reduced them as much as a ketogenic diet requires. So for people who have done it, did you have good results? how long did it take you to get energy? I hear there is like a period where you are down until your body becomes accustomed to using ketones as its main source of energy as opposed to glucose.
and if by some small chance, someone on here with PCOS has tried the atkins or another ketogenic diet, id be curious to hear your results.
