hi there LBG, welcome aboard
I agree, Atkins is pretty straight forward ... and gives menu plans and food lists for the different stages. Perhaps it's the medical and technical descriptions, and all the insulin and ketosis discussion that's a bit confusing. Check out our Tips webpage (click on the red menu bar at the top of the page) and especially read the articles Lowcarb Basics and Frequently Asked Questions. They might clarify things a bit, and answer some of your questions. Plus there's links to the official websites of some of the major lowcarb programs, so you can look them up for more information.
I'm sorry about the PCOS, but I have heard many women report good results with lowcarbing, and cycles returning to normal, and healthy, happy pregnancies. Just curious if your doctor has discussed taking glucophage (Metformin) for the insulin resistance???
All the best to you, and keep us posted ..
