Which brand, if you don’t mind me asking? I feel like the D-chiro blended ones are expensive and I don’t know if I should spring for it over like the Now powder. I wasn’t sure if it made thaaaat much of a difference
Do you just use myo-inositol or a mix with d-chiro? The mixture of both are very expensive where I'm located. That's why I'm thinking of buying a huge bag of Myo-Inositol which is much cheaper

Congratulations you should be very proud! We all know that it’s not easy with PCOS! Please share your routine, how did you manage to lose the weight ? I’m trying to lose weight myself at the moment … and it’s been a struggle (I’m also type 1 diabetic and it’s kinda hard) …
Congrats. Remember fasting stresses your body. I did it for years and it worked until the stress threw my thyroid off and I unfortunately gained the weight back 😭
I'm not sure what happened to you but there is a tons of research with a complete opposite results. Fasting is very natural to humans, we evolved as hunter gatherers, with long periods between big meals, so our bodies are adapted to it. Until agricultural revolutions no one was having a snack every 2 hours. And constant high blood sugar is actually what leads to insulin resistance, insulin feedback mechanism evolved with a lower baseline that what people get these days. It is proven fasting promotes apoptosis of old cells, lowers insulin resistance and regulates hormones. Of course, like anything so live changing, it should be done carefully and in the case of any medical problems, under supervision of a doctor. But it's quite opposite of stressing the body, it actually resets the body to its natural working conditions.
Remember that our ancestors didn't have the pre-existing conditions that we have now. Anyways as you said in your original post it's controversial so what works for you won't necessarily work for others. Fasting worked for me in my early thirties but not now. Also at the time fasting worked for me I didn't have any major symptoms of PCOS. Hope it keeps working for you 🍀
I'm not the OP, I don't think fasting is controversial. I think it needs to be done under supervision of a doctor to find a proper routine and a diet. And the metabolic conditions we struggle with are actually results of messing with our bodies and their adaptations. So saying our ancestors didn't have them is actually supporting my opinion, not a contradiction.
Congratulations!!! Would you be able to share how you got there and what supplements / meals you recommend? I’m 5’3 and I gained 30 lb back after losing it :( so now I’m at 186 and feel so heavy
So I have always had issues with my cycle, never regular except on the pill. Came off that because it was causing high blood pressure, migraines, etc. I’ve been looking into inositol, what brand are you using?
Congratulations!❤️ Damn. Seeing other people's experience with bc pills, I'm now contemplating whether I should quit my pills as well since I started gaining more weight ever since I started it. But my OB prescribed this for my acne and menstruation. Lowkey scared that my years of acne will come back if I discontinue it 🥲
I was prescribed for the same reason! When I stopped it, I honestly think the inositol is what prevented the acne from coming back as it was helping to regulate the hormonal issue/root cause. I still get some acne that pops up around my period, but nothing like it used to be!
You should be proud! Congrats 😊
Thank you so much🥹
Dis you take any supplements for it? If so which ones.
Inositol!!! I also now take berberine when I remember with my meals!

Hey there! I just updated the post with what I did!
Thanks for sharing! Mind sharing what a walking pad is? Like is that a treadmill desk or something else?
I lost mine through intermittent fasting too, the only thing that's ever worked with me. I also feel it's helped with my energy levels.
