I'm 44 and I have PCOS which means that I'm prone to gain weight. This coupled with the fact that I'm a type o blood type means that a low carb diet is especially good for me(do you know yours?). Prior to finding out that I had PCOS I tried all kids of diets. Even restricting myself to 1200 calories per day could not help me lose weight. Another mistake I made was not eating enough, often enough. Now I dont look at calories but try to get in 130g of protein per day, low carbohydrate. On the days I work out I have more carbs. I dropped a stone in 4 weeks initially and have kept it off. It would have been more in weight but I was weight training. So though I only lost a stone I went down 2 dress sizes. As I understand it you are to avoid, brocoli, cauliflower, sprouts, beans, lentils, butter and various other foods. I can send you an example of what I eat and you try it out for a couple of weeks. if you like? See how it goes.

Good morning Lisahouston1984

Unfortunately there is no quick fix 😕 But the good news is small changes can and will make a difference 😊

First things first, find an eating plan that suits YOU and your IBS, you will hopefully know your triggers but I definitely need high soluble fibre, oats/whole grain carbs, plenty fruit and veg. (Please be careful, the LCHF 'Atkins' type diet made me really ill) If you can get a good system of digestive transit and reduce the bloating this will make you look and feel at least one dress size smaller.

Secondly, if you aim to lose 2lbs a week, within a month you will feel a real difference, trust me 😊 Losing just 5% of our body weight has long lasting health benefits 😊 Weight loss any faster than this is water or muscle, fat simply does not go any faster, and these "pounds" will just bounce back on like magic (black magic 😡)

Thirdly, have a look at the weight loss forum here on HU 😊 It's a fab group with lots of experience and friendly support 😊

Good luck 😊
