Having a major pcos flare up. Skin covered in spots, joints ache, stomach bloated. I knew what to expect. 2lbs on. Only Thursday and the scales have declared war. I've stuck to my cals and even done extra exercise but it won't matter until my hormones balance out. Arrrrrg! So the plan is pleanty of water and plenty of protein and fruit and veg. Fingers crossed it's died down by Monday 😭

That must definitely be a pain! At least you know it's not a real weight gain so much as it's probably just water retention. Annoying to see on the scales, but will hopefully even itself out once this flare up has passed. Sounds like you're doing all the right things so I'm sure you'll get there in the end.

Good luck! :)

Yeah I find it helps. I don't go ott I just find my body does better with protein then carbs. I do an active job and find that I ache less if I get my protein target. I tend to stick to low gi too.
