Weight loss (with endo and PCOS)

[ally88ally]

Hi all, been diagnosed about 8 years now and had various treatments and surgeries and diet control to manage hormones and illness. Successfully been mostly in control for a couple of years now, however my weight has been creeping up. My symptoms are starting to come back and my consultant has advised that estrogen is stored in fat - so my own weight gain is what's causing it. The problem is I struggle to maintain, let alone lose weight. I eat fairly well and exercise fairly often. I know there's no quick routes to things like weight loss, but I'm open to any suggestions or success stories if anyone can share?

Hello and welcome. ally88ally

That's a great video moreless has given you. Here's some information from the Association of UK Dietitians which advises the same, that a low Gi diet is the way to go. bda.uk.com/foodfacts/pcos.pdf
