It's not so much low carbs but more low gi / gl which means more of the right carbs like wholewheat, and less of the simple carbs like sugary foods and white bread. As these foods cause our insulin levels to spike and that has a knock on effect with out hormones. If you type into Google 'pcos...

Glad to hear that I'm not alone with PCOS and Slimming World....i'm not actually weighing myself at the moment just trusting the plan, as far as I can see Slimming World is all healthy food that has low GI ratings, which is what i've been told us PCOS girls should be eating. Good luck Nadia...

Does anyone use any other form of birth control?...or have they taken the pill the past and its affected them? or not affected them at all? I know I might not 'technically' need to use anything as apparently I’m not ovulating, but until I’m really ready to be a Mother I don't want to start...

Thank you for the advice :grouphugg: I think I’m going to stick to the not weighing, and just weigh again when I feel happy, to give myself a reference point. If I haven't lost very much but feel much happier with my body then its still a success mission As for measuring myself, I took a...

Hello, I'm doing Slimming World from home and because I don't have a set of scales at home I weighed myself in Boots when I started (over a week ago), and then decided I’d skip weighing myself this week because I had my * week. So far I have stuck to the EE diet and I’m really loving it...

I had the Pizza express tuna salad at the weekend, it comes with the dressing in a little dish so you don't have to have it (I didn't) and if you don't have the dough balls then its only a couple of syns for the olives :) was very yummy! If i'm right it thinking the Leggera pizzas are 500...

I've just started, but think what i'm going to do similar to you Curvygirl87.

My thyroid is low :S they took more blood, eak, also because my hormones are all over the place, having periods but apparently still not ovulating :( I've been recommended against the pill - it's a bit pointless if I'm not ovulating anyway! The worry is I 'might' ovulate and although I REALLY...

I've fallen out with the face creams, last time I used one I came up in a red raised 'tash' and had to get a coach like that! Because it was sore I didn't put makeup on it either so looked a bit ridiculous. But on the plus side I got the number of the man who sat next to me on the coach, which...
