Bettyboop - - - - I just wanted to say that a very good friend of mine has PCOS. she was ordered by her doctor to follow the low-carb lifestyle and it worked really really well for her. she wasn't diagnosed with pcos for a long time and had developed very very large tumors that had to be removed. WHEN she followed her low-carb lifestyle she felt better and did not have pain.(not zero carb, just low carb... i think she stayed between 40 and 60 carbs most days and occasionally went over for "special occasions") however she did not stick to her plan as consistantly as she should. Her tumors did return after a few years and she decided to have a hysterectomy. (when I asked her why.... she said that since she is in her mid 40's and not married or dating anyone right now and doesn't want to have a child on her own she would have the surgery and if she meets someone later she will adopt.) She had her surgery in Dec of 07 and is doing great. She was also on a medication that helped her pcos..... I'll try to find out the name of it when she returns from Italy. I followed Low Carb with her for awhile and I lost 50 lbs. (about 3 years ago) and I have gained it back.... but that is my fault. There is a great website that is all about Low Carb Low GI food with a message board and TONS of recipes. I dont know if I can post a link on this board... is that allowed? There are also LOTS and LOTS of people on there who have PCOS and could be a wealth of knowledge to you. (they are amazing .. very very much like this site!)
