Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hi and welcome. I'm Autumn and have been with this group since August. I am also LCing, since I was diagnosed with PCOS in September. I did well until December, when I tried to quit smoking and do the LC at the same time as the holidays were upon us. Oy! I promised myself I'd get back in the swing of things when I returned from my holiday trip home (which was yesterday). We'll see! I can forward some recipes/suggestions to you both off-list if you'd like. . Also, I belong to another great group (which is for PCOS'ers) but has a humongous archive of LC recipes, tips, advices, etc. You may want to join it and just go to their databases online, which have entire LC cookbooks to download! Let me know at athdesign@... This group is awesome. Hope you are enjoying already.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hi , It stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. As far as your IBS, try to pick the leanest proteins you can, and at least cut down/out all " white " food-potatos, pasta, rice, white flour, sugar. You don't have to automatically eat very high fat while low-carbing. I eat a lot of veggies, tuna, very lean meats (mostly venison, chicken, fish), berries, and small amounts of whole grains. I also use turkey bacon and low-fat string cheese. I guess you're just going to have to do trial and error to see what foods will not aggravate your condition.

I meant to tell ya'll that I know we are dealing with other health issues as well as just trying to lose weight. I know it is kind of hard for me to do the low carb thing because, the cheese and meats like steaks and stuff eventually hurt my stomach because of my IBS...so that is one reason I come off....I guess it must be the fat...so maybe I can find some low carb low fat things....the bacon, sausage, cheese...I love them all so much but they eventually lead to my days of not being able to eat anything...even water hurts me so bad.
