Many thanks for helpful info and the free meal plan!
The PCOS Plate Method visual made this click for me — half the plate non-starchy veggies and I can STILL have complex carbs? First PCOS video that's made weight loss feel sustainable instead of punishing 🙏
Wow did not know that about zero sugar drinks. I only drink them once in awhile but good to know!
Some of these vegetable choices are ok but Microwaving in PLASTIC is DANGEROUS!!
Microwaving isn’t good anyway. Think about the sources of information who tells you that Microwaves are fine.
(They’re Not!) Neither is Plastic even in room temperature! They’re endocrine disrupters, which causes PCOS to fly into overdrive. Beware of some of these nuggets of information! Acquaint yourself with suggestions especially if you don’t know about them.
Stay away from all plastics including water bottles, plastic food and liquid containers, plastic cooking utensils and non-stick coated pots and pans.
Look at ingredients in your hygiene products, skincare products and cosmetics. Stay away from fragranced candles and air fresheners. You’re going to Greatly Improve your health, get that PCOS condition under control, lose weight and feel so much better as soon as you do! Please take the time to do your own research so you’ll understand the culprits.
You are very encouraging when you explain things ..thank you❤.I'm sad to learn we are at risk for heart disease, even without any junk food,or drug, OMG 😢. I think I may have read it but I "blocked it" out 😂 cause it's too scary. Anyway with a good(crazy hard lol and crazy healthy) diet… I guess it's easier on the heart already..minerals,vitamins in it ..+ Maybe some supplements…gosh its good to know but it's scary too😂thanksss
Ma'am but what about those coarse and thick black facial hairs we go thru
My problem is sweets, I can’t quit cold turkey 😢
Are these IBS friendly?
I can’t have veggies or complex carbs because of my mild gastroparesis 🙁
Thank you so much for making these videos!!! Im only 16 but i've been struggling with PCOS since I was 8 (diagnosed at 13) and I have really needed more information of how to eat since just eating salads has not been helping. I would LOVE a video on drinks!!! thank you so much for making this resource. 🙂
Pcos and ezcema 🥹 struggle to maintain balance at a young age but now I'm 26 and truly working on managing my health better! Thank you so much for this straightforward information! Doctors usually tell me this and that without really being there so it's discouraging but I'm stepping up for my health step by step ❣️
Drinks!!!!!
gluten free is a myth for PCOS?!!!! a lot of women feel way worst when they eat gluten!!! myself included!!! & I used to believe this lie & eat gluten & felt the worst I have ever felt 🤦♀so if you feel good eating it, good for YOU just don't tell other women to do it too pls!
Is fasting ok,?
How much animal protein to have a day????
Do chicken have to be antiboric free?
Thoughts on ben bikman??? Researcher on insulin resistance?? He speaks alot on LOW CARB… pcos gals cam they not also be thyroid issues ? Gluten careful?
What if pcos in menopause??
U have pcos ? Can it go in remission tho? Isnt mosy pcos a insulin resistance issue???
I know unsolicited but a little beauty tip, stick to brown eyeliner, only apply to upper lid. Waterline and black eyeliner is very harsh and shrinks your eyes not accentuate. Don’t use glitter eyeshadows, but a solid color; pink lip colors, not orange. Orange dulls your teeth color.
I have been getting very overwhelmed with the amount of PCOS information on the internet and in books lately, everything feels contradictory and just makes me feel even worse. I appreciate your approach and would like to try it! All of the advice I've seen to cut out carbs and fast every other day is just very unrealistic for my life and it feels impossible. Thank you for sharing this information 🙂
im SO sick of eating like a rabbit. Like it's not sustainable!
Thank you for this in-dept video! I was just diagnosed with PCOS today and did not have a game plan with meals and how to eat healthier for my condition. Your video gave me all the knowledge I need to feel confident with what i'm going to put into my body! Thank you for saving me from being lost and confused. If i did not find this video, i would have been discourage.
Your channel is a life safer🙌🏻
From New York, I'm thrilled to share that my wife's PCOS symptoms have improved greatly thanks to Dr. Uwenbor herbal remedies His natural approach has been a game-changer. Highly recommend his channel for anyone seeking holistic health solutions.❤
I'm so happy I found you! Checking out your meal plam now and youve got a new subscriber. Just diagnosed with no help from doctor. I even asked if dietry things could help until i see a specialist he is referring me to. Just said nope thats jist who you are, you have pcos and you always will and he also told me I'll probably be diabetic later in life 🙁
I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS, thank you for explaining and sharing meal advice and ideas, I have been so lost in what I need to be eating and what I need to be avoiding. It has been so overwhelming!
Eating half plate of vegetables is not easy
Have any of your clients gotten pregnant while following your PCOS diet?
Can’t fine the link to the book
I have pcos and a severe gluten sensitivity, I don't have celiac's disease as far as I know, but i've gotta tell you.When I eat gluten I get severely sick.Vomiting, vomiting blood, nausea, bloating severe pain in my abdomen. It's not fun. I have to eat gluten free. I i've been eating gluten free for a year, but I have accidentally glutened myself Multiple times. That's my fault. I don't read labels very often. 😅 i guess i'm going to have to now. Lol 🤣 i was diagnosed with p c o s three years ago, and i've been struggling to lose weight, trying to figure out what was causing my nausea and vomiting and my discomfort well, now that i've figured that out I am starting a new journey to lose weight. And get my life back!
You need to be more popular. The most popular PCOS nutrition content creators are all heavy on No Carbs, No Gluten, No Diary. And I already know that's a myth, but we all need more meal ideas that are realistic and sustainable for most of us. This is for the rest of our lives. We need ways to live realistically. For some of us, food is heavy in our culture (Puerto Rican). We need better PCOS education out there and guidance. Thank you for taking the time to properly research and put out real information and for caring.
Amazing information..subscribed
I’m so glad I found your channel! I just watched what to avoid and I was surprised by some. I’m pregnant and cravings are hard but trying to stay as much on track as possible and this is very helpful.
I’ve been trying so hard to lose weight with PCOS and always felt like I was doing something wrong. I used to skip meals, try weird diets, and still end up bloated or tired. Since I picked up the bbook The Ultimate Gluten Free Cookbook by Gina Orrantia, cooking for myself has become less stressful. Even though I’m not great at making food, the meals are simple, tasty and actually doable. Now I’m losing weight, feeling more energetic, and actually enjoying meal time instead of dreading it.
I just subscribed. Thank you ❤
You're so great at explaining! I've been gaining so much weight with my PCOS after I had my daughter I've realized I've been doing everything wrong. 😭 Appreciate this info! ❤
Wow! Can’t Thank you enough for all this info! As someone who is newly diagnosed with PCOS I’m
eager to get the ball rolling on a major diet shift. Very grateful for your tips!
