I need help!!! Is this really the diet for me?
Hi everyone! I am also finally on the Atkins's diet after years of suffering from what I knew was PCOS. I knew what was going on in my very early 20's. Doctors would never listen to me and always just wanted to shove birth control pills in my face. I finally found a doctor just getting out of medical school who was very bright and acknowledged the fact that I knew more about my body than she did. She did a 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test and I was very very positive for insulin resistance. I started out at 500mg a day and now am up to 1000mg a day.
Anyways, currently I am about 6 days ( in which I've lost about 6 pounds) into the Induction phase of Atkins and I am about 7 days away from my period. However, I am starting to bleed right now. This would not concern me except for the fact that I am still on Birth Control Pills. I am well hydrated, FYI. Has anyone experienced this?
