Struggling to lose weight with PCOS and subclinical hypothyroidism

[Scheepy18]

Hi there. I am 31, have PCOS been diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism and I’m desperately trying to lose weight to help me conceive. Any hints and tips? Anyone else struggling with this? Thanks xx

Hi and welcome, Scheepy18

Firstly, you need to get your hypothyroidism at an optimal level and I see that you've joined the Thyroid UK community, which is a very wise move.

PCOS can generally be helped with a low carb diet, but that may not be the best diet for your thyroid trouble. Maybe a gluten free diet would be a compromise? Have a look at this phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

My sister in law was diagnosed with PCOS she had success with weight loss , resistance/strength training and a supplement called Inositol at 2 Grams a day for around 6 months . She was also working with her GP.
