PCOS and Ideal Protein?
 

Hi, I'm new. I've been looking at info online for the Ideal Protein diet. I'm wondering if there's anyone here with PCOS who is on the diet or has tried it and what your experiences are/were. Thanks.

Hello! I believe I remember someone on the weekly chat mentioning this, if it is the person I think it is, she has been quite successful. Good luck!

PCOS and IP
 

Hi. I have PCOS and am on Metformin. I had my 3 week weigh in today and I have lost 18 pounds!

Good luck! Let me know if I can help.

Sorry, I meant to say 16.4 pounds in 3 weeks:D

Hi there

I was just diagnosed with PCOS and I have lost 54 pounds in 9 weeks. I was told yesterday that I can no longer do this diet because my insulin levels are high so I will be hopefully losing 20 more pounds and then transition into the diabetic diet or LOW GI diet as recommended by specialist. I love IP but she told me it can be dangerous to be in ketosis for long when you have insulin resistance so I think I should listen to her.

Good luck!

I am so sorry to hear that you have to stop. You have done exceptionally well! Please stay on the boards and visit us! We want to hear all about the wedding and your continued success no matter what plan!

Did you talk to your coach about switching to the Ideal Protein plan they use for diabetics??

IP and PCOS
 

I have PCOS and am diabetic. I am on Metformin. I am on the alternative IP plan for diabetics and my blood sugars have been perfect.

I don't know your specifics but I wanted to let you know. I have lost 16.4 pounds in 3 weeks.

Please let me know if I can help you.

I know this is a late reply but I am new to IP and I have PCOS. I have tried eating healthy and excersice and no luck! I have been on IP for 2 weeks and lost 17.5lbs! My coach said this is rare but I think it is becuase my hormones are actually getting in check! Let me know how your results have turned out!
