Eggs and turkey sausage did it for me. You can also do bacon. I lost about 10 lbs before I went off it. I just couldn't handle all the red meat. I hope you do better than I did. Best of luck to you!!!!!!

How are you doing on Atkins? I am also eating an Atkins diet. I eat this way mainly because I have hypoglycemia and this is the best way I am able to control it. I also lose weight on it. I only have about 17 lbs to go to my goal weight!!

Hi Bubbles29,
I have just started a low GI diet. Its only my first week so not sure if it is working yet, but all the pcos books that i have read recently say it is the best way and at least you can eat a range of things and not just loads of meat. There is a book called managing pcos for dummies that has a few good points and recipes also a book called The low GI diet guide to managing pcos. I got them off Amazon. I will update and let you know if it works. God knows i've tried everything else. Good luck.
