Re: 30 days no sugar

I have pocs too. Pcos is also contributing to insulin resistance.
With pocs are your hair affected? I am losing hair alot going bald.

Dr said i need hormone medications even though my pcos is lower level. Bt i am ttc so cant take any medication right now.

I will try this diet too.
Thanks

How do you keep track of carbohydrates?.

And what do you take as snack if feeling hungry or watching tv?.

I use the my fitness pal app, you input all your meals/recipes etc daily and it computes your caloric intake, and breaks down the macros.

Yes, hair loss was a huge issue for me. I’ve been on a whole cocktail of HRT on and off ever since I was diagnosed with my fertility issies. This past year I stopped taking all the meds except my low dose estrogen and have concentrated on diet and lifestyle change only and it has helped immensely. I do not snack while watching tv, that is my biggest downfall and when I crave salty carby snacks, so I just don’t do it.

I have found that by having a protein rich proper breakfast and by staying properly hydrated throughout the day I’m not really that hungry. For people with PCOS it’s very important to not skip meals or go more then 3-4 hours without eating because when your blood sugar drops or you go on a snack binge and it spikes that’s where the problem lies. When I do need a quick snack or pick me up I have a either a handful of raw almonds, half of a small avocado, cucumbers or some string cheese.

I also aim to drink 100 oz of water a day (which hasn’t been happening in Ramadan of course!)

I make a detox water (water, sliced cucumber, ginger, lemon & mint) by filling a drink dispenser with water and the above items and keep it in my fridge to infuse. I aim to finish the entire dispenser in one day. It’s an amazing detox that gets rid of the bloat and keeps me hydrated

thanks Khattichic for all information.
just wondering with ginger in your water you just peel and slice and add into water?

I don’t even bother peeling it, I just slice it and throw it in!

I have cut out the coke too. Not even had diet!

Keep it up! You’re doing pretty good.

I lost count of days. Eid is coming up and it will be a blue moon for me so I will indulge in coke. I’m actually craving it quite a lot these days. must try harder

Khattichic, you seem on a roll! I read through your meal plan…way to go girl!

As the honorable Mr. Monk eloquently stated - sugar from fruits may be “good sugar”. The young gentleman in Pakistan alluded to the same.

I used to eat a lot of fruits and I still do but i was following a specific diet plan where I was supposed to eat only one fruit and that was Papaya.

Had coke on Eid.

Aside from my fail of not having coke for 30 days, I had tons of burfi, and mithai, and chocolates. I’m sitting here with a bottle of water trying to flush out what I had in the past few days.

Avoiding sugar is the toughest task but if you do that; awesome results!! Done it myself! I stopped drinking usual milk tea because i cant take it without sugar and started green tea; I wonder how do people drink green tea with sugar?

Have you tried redbush tea (or ‘rooibos’)? I found it to be naturally sweet and now I prefer to drink my green tea without sugar.
