[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever been checked for PCOS? Many of the “conventional” weight loss mantras (oh, just put down the sandwich) may not work with your body chemistry. The idea that the only solution is to live on air while on a treadmill 20 hours a day is harmful. Your body isn’t processing something properly; the trick is to find out what it is. [/quote]

Could you please provide the time stamp for where anyone told OP to eat “air” and exercise 20 hours a day? No one on here has said a single thing that wasn’t sensible. Checking for PCOS is sensible, but so is adopting a baseline-healthy lifestyle when it comes to diet and exercise, while enjoying everything in moderation. Whether or not one needs to lose weight, eating healthy foods, enjoying things in moderation, and exercise is a good idea. Come on, no need to pretend like anyone told OP anything that wasn’t completely reasonable.[/quote]

You are presuming she’s not “eating healthy” now. We don’t know what she’s doing. I was 100 pounds overweight and I was on a “healthy” eating regime with low fats, 1000 calories, lots of exercise, and in six months I lost three pounds. My one doctor was dismissive and told me to “put down the sandwich and do better”. Another doctor diagnosed me with PCOS and I switched to a low-carb, much higher calorie diet and I lost 70 pounds in seven months and my blood cholesterol levels went from crap to excellent. Everyone here is just telling this woman all the conventional things to cut from her diet  and eat less of what’s left, not knowing anything about her body chemistry or current habits. You just presume she’s weak and not trying hard enough.[/quote]
