Low GI recipe ideas and weight loss tips for PCOS sufferers?
I've been diagnosed with PCOS and it's been suggested I follow a low GI diet. Most of the recipes I can find are based around things like tofu and whatnot. I was wondering if anyone has any what I call "real" food recipe ideas or tips for snacks, etc. Thanks 
heya honey! i know what its like – isuffer as wel!! i have great drs and now also see a dietician! she told me the best way to do it is to eat a bit of everything – dairy, protien, carbs and fat in small amounts a fewtimes a day. Pulses and things like that are great also quorn my dietician told me was great!
i would like to say something about another answer here – birth control pills have been found to make symptoms worse in a lot of PCOS sufferers i was one of them! u need to find out ur exact hormone levels before that can be an option i was nearly in hosp on mine!
the metformin is also good if u are a larger "cyster" and helps with MANY of the symptoms
i know a great support site great for help and/or research!

A diabetic diet. And read up on hormone imbalance – try the book "ageless".

I assume you are speaking about Polycystic ovarian syndrome, and not some other esoteric disease i have not heard about….
Birth control pills. For women who don’t want to become pregnant, birth control pills can regulate menstrual cycles, reduce male hormone levels, and help to clear acne. However, the birth control pill does not cure PCOS. The menstrual cycle will become abnormal again if the pill is stopped. Women may also think about taking a pill that only has progesterone, like Provera, to regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent endometrial problems. But progesterone alone does not help reduce acne and hair growth.
Diabetes Medications. The medicine, Metformin, also called Glucophage, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes, also helps with PCOS symptoms. Metformin affects the way insulin regulates glucose and decreases the testosterone production. Abnormal hair growth will slow down and ovulation may return after a few months of use. These medications will not cause a person to become diabetic.
I have never heard of a 'low GI' diet. I am assuming that your physician prescribed a weight loss regimen for you. Any diet that balances proteins with carbohydrates and fats like weight watchers, jenny craig, etc, would be sufficient. Getting more exercise to increase your metabolism would be helpful as well.
Since obesity is common with PCOS, a healthy diet and physical activity help maintain a healthy weight, which will help the body lower glucose levels, use insulin more efficiently, and may help restore a normal period. Even loss of 10% of her body weight can help make a woman's cycle more regular.

I try to keep to a low GI way of eating. I buy ' the food dr' bagols they are filling and delicious. I make myself a meal of onions, peppers, mushrooms and any other veggies I like. I make it into a curry then add garlic and tofu or soya mince. serve it with brown rice. As a snack I enjoy pita bread with humous, sprinkle praprika and a little olive oil over the humous to serve . I always toast the pitta bread but everyone has their own taste. serve it with a large salad. weight loss, I've lost 3 stone by making one desertspoon honey 2 caps of cyder apple vinegar in a large cup of warm or hot water, drink this with your breakfast and evening meal. IT WORKS. YOU DO GET USED TO IT. Thats a tip for all who want to lose weight.

I couldn’t believe that it was so easy for me to stay on this for the whole ten days (while cooking dinner each night,no gum & no chocolate!, teaching preschool, dentist appointment with sedation, camping weekend and traveling internationally while ‘coming off’–an admittedly exceptional schedule for me) I had more energy than usual, fewer naps, better sleep, better attitudes and I did lose 10 pounds-that’s a feat for me (and kept it off since!!!) Whenever I felt ‘hungry’, drinking the lemonade would squelch it, though I missed chewing sometimes. Loved it and am anxious to do it again with my husband. (He also did it, starting a week after me because of his travel schedule and though more challenged generally, felt it worthwhile)

love this!! It is very, very true and soo important, especially for women, to remember that body image does not necessarily equate to happiness and dreams come true. I love the promotion of becoming healthy simply to become healthy!! thanks!
April 4th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.
April 8th, 2010 at 3:42 am
howdy superb little blog you got right here
I use the identical design template on mine yet for whatever silly issue it would seem to stream more quickly on your site despite the fact that the one you have is carrying way more multimedia. Have you been working with any plugins or widgets that quicken it up? If you could write about the plug ins so I can use these on my personal internet sites so twilight eclipse fans could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and films more quickly I’d personally be thankful – many thanks in advance

I just started reading your site – thanks for writing. I wanted to inform you that it’s not displaying correctly on the BlackBerry Browser (I have a Tour). Anyway, I am now subscribed to the RSS feed on my PC, so thanks again!
April 21st, 2010 at 3:50 am
I use my computer every day. Something that at first I thought of this foreign delicate thing has become this close hardcore component to my life. I think of it as a wrench or a hammer.
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 am
I am writing to let people know that I tried numerous diet software programs online and the one Ilinked to is not a simple as the author claims. Also after lurking around, I found another diet software package FREE called sparkpeople.com. it’s really incredible.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
This was a very good post, I found it to not only be very helpful infomation but also touched on what I was researching in good detail. Keep up the work!
April 25th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
I see a lot of interesting articles here. Bookmarked for future referrence.
April 27th, 2010 at 7:21 pm

May 1st, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Your site is very interesting. May i write article for you, could you publish it here ? Please mail me
May 2nd, 2010 at 4:09 am
I see you are experinced blogger, what is the best method to monetize my first blog ?
May 3rd, 2010 at 12:31 am
i’m generally bouncing all across the web most of the afternoon and so I have a propensity to read considerably, which isnt usually a good thing as a large amount of the sites I find are made up of worthless nonsense copied from similar websites a thousand times, on the other hand I’ll hand it to ya this site is indeed half decent and includes a bit of authentic content, for that reason kudos for helping to stop the pattern of basically copying other peoples’ blogs, take care
May 3rd, 2010 at 5:21 pm
I like your site design. What template did you use ?
May 4th, 2010 at 7:14 am
An excellent write-up with logical points, I have been a lurker here for some time but hope to be much more involved in the future.
May 8th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I start reading these weeks about some sort of anti-aging method that could quite possibly benefit us all.
May 9th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
i found this very thought prvoking, I need o come back soon , well done
May 14th, 2010 at 4:18 am

May 19th, 2010 at 11:34 am
I would be happy to publish good articles that are informative and do not include reference to specific sales sites or products. Make it well researched and send it to me at this website and I will publish it if it is good. Liz Nichols

Blogging is both art and science. Here are a few tips.
Get a very flexible basic Wordpress template. You can get a WordPressDirect blog template for free and that comes pre-optimized to hold some ads. I also have had good luck with Affiliate Theme and am also just going to start using Socrates. Both of these are optimized to quickly be able to advertise while putting in good content. The latter two do cost something, but they are not bad in price for the amount of work they save.
If you want to build many sites, then WordPressDirect’s paid service is excellent. Again, it will save you time in building many blog sites.
I don’t remember the template I used here. It was actually kind of a mistake that I have not had time to correct. I updated to a newer version of Wordpress than WordPressDirect was using at the time and it messed up the template. I have planned on changing it, but havent had time.
I have been getting many comments lately, which is gratifying. Glad so many like this blog; wish I had more time to devote to it.
Liz Nichols
May 19th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Thanks for that. I have planned on changing the theme a bit. The original theme got messed up between updating to a newer version of Wordpress and my Wordpressdirect site where I do most of my editing. Just haven’t had time to attend to it, but will try to soon. Thanks for writing. Liz Nichols
May 19th, 2010 at 11:47 am
Amen.
May 19th, 2010 at 11:54 am
Hey, good to hear the site is well optimized for video. That is because of the great job done by the WordPressDirect folks. check them out. They do have a free version, and the paid bronze level is not too much to have around 20 sites up using it. I highly recommend them. LN
May 19th, 2010 at 11:57 am
Mind telling me what you were searching? This site is optimized around weight loss key words, but enough other topics have gotten into the discussion that I’m not surprised if it is doing well in other areas. I know my comments suddently shot up about 10 fold. I think it is just time and gradually getting more Google love because this has been around at least two years. LN
May 23rd, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Hey man , thanks 4 writing but this page doesn’t format correctly when using Netscape it is doubled up.
May 24th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Great info, thanks for useful article. I’m waiting for more
May 25th, 2010 at 2:49 am
Hello Great Job. I think you made some great points in your points and I am goign to do some follow up research topic related and learn more.
May 27th, 2010 at 4:10 am
Couldnt be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
May 28th, 2010 at 10:24 am
I was just talking with my coworker about this yesterday at dinner . Don’t remember how we landed on the topic actually , they brought it up. I do recall eating a wonderful steak salad with ranch on it. I digress…
May 29th, 2010 at 12:10 am
This really is what I have been finding all day. I should have discovered your blog post faster.
May 29th, 2010 at 6:57 am
Interesting thoughts here. Are you confident this is the conscientious way to look at it though? My own experience is that we should pretty much live and let live because what one person observes as just — another person simply does not. Individuals are going to do what they want to do. In the end, they always do. The best we can pray for is to establish a few things here and there that hopefully, allows them to make just a little better informed decision. Otherwise, great post. You’re definitely making me think! –Wreaf
May 31st, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Useful information, many thanks to the author. It is puzzling to me now, but in general, the usefulness and importance is overwhelming. Very much thanks again and good luck!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
June 3rd, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
June 5th, 2010 at 1:03 am
Ooohh, I enjoy reading the report, too. It?s easy to understand that a journey like this is the biggest event in ones
June 5th, 2010 at 2:37 am
I was looking for this the other day. i dont usually post in forums but i wanted to say thank you!
June 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
June 6th, 2010 at 11:50 am
Hey, Yes,i also really like to visit new place,your idea is good.
June 7th, 2010 at 12:56 am
Incredible site!
June 7th, 2010 at 11:40 am
hey i posted a question quite some time back pertaining to exactly how to speed up my twilight eclipse website’s load time considering that we made use of the very same theme at the time and someone left a remark responding to it on my web site a week ago – if that was you I simply wanted to say thank you, and if it was not you then sorry to take the time you, but cheers anyhow!
June 9th, 2010 at 12:34 pm

June 10th, 2010 at 12:49 pm

Beginning a site much like this one got me to start some research and I found your post to be extremely useful. My site is centered around the idea of starving cancer by halting the angiogenic process. I wish you good luck with your writing in the future and you can be sure I’ll be following it.
June 22nd, 2010 at 4:57 am
U can even move down a high ranking page like CNN.com, or Wikipedia.org.

While we’re in Low GI recipe ideas and weight loss tips for PCOS sufferers? | Diet Supplement Blog mode, A good dish is enhanced with the right herbs and spices. An ordinary dish is made into a mouth watering sensation with subtle herb flavors and spicy aromas. Fresh herbs will keep a few days to a week in the fridge when stored in a wet paper towel or the packet they were bought in. Dried herbs can retain their flavor for up to a year, and are best kept in airtight containers of pottery or glass.
