I assume you are speaking about Polycystic ovarian syndrome, and not some other esoteric disease i have not heard about....Birth control pills. For women who don��t want to become pregnant, birth control pills can regulate menstrual cycles, reduce male hormone levels, and help to clear acne. However, the birth control pill does not cure PCOS. The menstrual cycle will become abnormal again if the pill is stopped. Women may also think about taking a pill that only has progesterone, like Provera, to regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent endometrial problems. But progesterone alone does not help reduce acne and hair growth. Diabetes Medications. The medicine, Metformin, also called Glucophage, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes, also helps with PCOS symptoms. Metformin affects the way insulin regulates glucose and decreases the testosterone production. Abnormal hair growth will slow down and ovulation may return after a few months of use. These medications will not cause a person to become diabetic. I have never heard of a low GI diet. I am assuming that your physician prescribed a weight loss regimen for you. Any diet that balances proteins with carbohydrates and fats like weight watchers, jenny craig, etc, would be sufficient. Getting more exercise to increase your metabolism would be helpful as well.Since obesity is common with PCOS, a healthy diet and physical activity help maintain a healthy weight, which will help the body lower glucose levels, use insulin more efficiently, and may help restore a normal period. Even loss of 10% of her body weight can help make a woman s cycle more regular.
A diabetic diet. And read up on hormone imbalance - try the book ageless .
i know how you feel my doc says i might have it and iam so nervous that i might need to get my ovaries cut away...iam a medium sized girl and any diet i have done iam still the same build even though i have lost a few pounds but thats it...i do stress how you feel i wish you didnt have it xxxx
I try to keep to a low GI way of eating. I buy the food dr bagols they are filling and delicious. I make myself a meal of onions, peppers, mushrooms and any other veggies I like. I make it into a curry then add garlic and tofu or soya mince. serve it with brown rice. As a snack I enjoy pita bread with humous, sprinkle praprika and a little olive oil over the humous to serve . I always toast the pitta bread but everyone has their own taste. serve it with a large salad. weight loss, I ve lost 3 stone by making one desertspoon honey 2 caps of cyder apple vinegar in a large cup of warm or hot water, drink this with your breakfast and evening meal. IT WORKS. YOU DO GET USED TO IT. Thats a tip for all who want to lose weight.
