Did any of you regulate your period after losing weight?

Question

I have PCOS and losing weight is hard. Any tips?

Answer

Yes and no. I started taking myo-inositol and it started within 3 days and has been regular every since. I started losing weight and eating better at the same time, and I think that helped keep it stable.

Answer

I also have PCOS- and 6 months ago I read this book I bought off of Amazon called Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden. It changed my life. It suggested cutting out sugar entirely (very hard, I know) and all sweet things except for a couple of pieces of fruit a day and taking Magnesium Chellate and Zinc Citrate (which I also bought off of Amazon) every night. I did these things starting in September and it is now February and I have lost 35 pounds not working out or changing my life at all! I was 215 starting off, now down to 180. I also started getting a period- which blows my mind because I’ve only had like one period a year at the most since I got a period at all. I wanted to lose weight before going to any doctors about trying to conceive. Now I’m going to try to conceive without going to them at all. They tried to put me on Metformin when I went to them a couple of years ago, for the PCOS, not diabetes, and it only made me really sick, without losing any weight or getting a period. It was always sugar that was my downfall! Who knew. I had to cut out milk and bread and weird things that had sugar and I never knew- and looking at nutritional labels all the time is super annoying. It’s crazy how much sugar we eat in things and we don’t even know it. The book mentions that in general people should be eating only 25 grams of sugar a day, which is less than what is in a glass of juice. Anyway, PCOS sucks!
