Questions for LCers w/ PCOS
Hello ladies,
My best friend has PCOS and I recently suggested that she try LC because of what Dr. Atkins says in his book about the disease. She didn't want to try Atkins, but she saw something on TV about the South Beach Diet and has decided to try it. My first question is: Which LC diet has helped your PCOS the most? (I'm worried that South Beach might not be LC enough to help her and she'll give up.)
My friend is not trying to conceive, she just wants relief of her symptoms. However, when I was trying to conceive my son last year I belonged to the list "ONNA" and I remember many of the list members there had PCOS and it was a terrible struggle for them. I didn't know anything about Atkins back then, but now I'm wondering -- could it really aid conception for women with this problem? Have any of you experienced this?
I'm sorry if these are nosy questions & I hope I haven't inadvertedly said the wrong thing. Since starting this WOE I feel like I'm sitting on a gold mine and, if it will help, I'd like to share it with those I care about.
Thanks,
Rosa
