Struggling with PCOS weight gain and fertility

Are you on Metformin? It helps with pcos and insulin resistance.

Avoid eating after a certain time at night. It's helped me eat like a king at breakfast queen at dinner time and a pauper at night. It's frustrating that doctors tell us to loose weight and think that will solve everything I'm not saying it won't help but so frustrating to hear when it's not easy for us.

Diets don’t work as the body panics and clings to fat more and then when you go back to eating normally it piles it on as it’s weakened the metabolism, consistency is key you have to find a realistic way of eating that you can do happily for life, I’d recommend simply exploring more healthy options there are delicious healthy foods out there that you could really enjoy and then be in a habit of, and exercise is very important but that doesn’t mean you have to go for a run or to the gym, experiment and find something you truly enjoy get involved with a friend if you can make it fun, a sport or swimming or weight training, hula hooping is great there’s so many things it’s just about having the energy and the mindset to gradually learn how to live happier and healthier and during that process I’d ignore weight, yes weight can be a way of measuring health but there’s so many other factors and individuals are so different it’s just not a healthy way of measuring health and I hate doctors who ignore real issues and just blame everything on weight, there’ll always be an issue behind weight gain whether that’s physical or mental that should be supported and addressed not dismissed and left to go through that challenge by yourself, weight is so cosmetically focused and subjective it’s a much better easier process when you try to shut that out and focus on lifestyle that can be enjoyable

Don't fall for the lose weight notion. The goal here is not to lose weight, the goal here is to consume the fuel that allows your body to function at maximum efficiency with PCOS since the PCOS isn't going to just go away. I have found that that means a lot of veggies, fruits, lean proteins like fish especially, peanuts and turkey, little dairy and milk but when you have it make it fresh, the less processed the better, whole wheat and whole grains, no trans fats no hydrogenated fats, 25 grams of fiber a day minimum, soy protein if you've got it. And don't go for three square meals a day, you're looking at tiny/small meals with small portions every 3 to 4 hours, or if you absolutely have to adhere to your standard three meals a day, do it with snacks in between each one.
