Hey everyone, I recently got diagnosed with PCOS which explains a lot of what’s been going on, but I still don’t know how to lose weight. A lot of doctors have just shrugged and gone “Idk, you might never lose weight” or they spout body positive stuff but I hurt like this- it’s not about being sexy at this point, it’s about my back and knees hurting and I’m not comfortable. I have tried EVERYTHING. And I do mean every kind of credible dietary solution out there- high protein, low protein, gluten free, sugar free, vegan, etc. The only time I was able to lose at ALL was when I finally (to prove a point to a**hole doctors that kept implying I was just lazy and fat) went down to a 500cal/day diet for 2 months. I lost 2 pounds. I’m 5’7”, female, and 260 pounds. I’ve been steadily gaining at about 2 pounds a week for the last year and a half. Since I’ve given up trying different eating styles, my default diet is very Mediterranean- no red meat, lots of vegetables and chicken and fish, fruit in the mornings. I never eat out and I cook with oil not butter, and other little substitutes like that. I’m at a loss, but when I ask doctors about meds to lose weight with PCOS, they just say there’s “no real solution” and I just need to find a dietary solution. HELP!
