It would be great to connect with others, I'm having a hard time finding a discussion board that's active anywhere!View Thread

In order to control the symptoms, I was put on a low-carb diet. I successfully lost 32 pounds (have gained a bit back since) without exercising. I haven't had to take any meds to control the PCOS and have seen all of my body symptoms disappear. There's a really great book I read that goes into the science of low-carb eating and has a section on PCOS. The title is How I Gave Up My Lowfat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds and I think the author is Dana Carpender. I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to control PCOS without medications!View Thread

I know that every person is different, and I have been told I'm the textbook case with every possible symptom, but I hope this information is helpful!View Thread
