Want to start a diet but I'm rubbish at them - help!

Hi eyelinerprincess,

There's some really great advice on this forum; I just wanted to add my support to what you're going through. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and at the same time i was the queen of yoyo dieting!

My sis bought me the Atkins Diet book and since then I've never looked back! Like you I'd start a diet but as soon as I hit 'a bad day' I'd comfort eat cr*p. I don't do too well on portion control / calorie counting etc as there is too much of a chance to cheat; I need to be told exactly what I can eat. Far from being restrictive and you feeling the need to rebel, low carbing is great because there is so much choice and you can eat as much as you like. Within a few days you'll find you're feeling satisfied on less food - trust me that feeling is amazing!

I have no links with Aktins or low carb products but I wanted to share with everyone PCOS can be managed; my periods are regular, moods more stable (well as far as they can be for a girlie!!!) and no more weight gain!:j

I was researching Vit D (thank you so much Ted for your info) and will definately be doing the test and let you all know how I get on.
