I have pcos and recently I’ve been shedding more hair than before. It is stressing me out and I’m trying to look for ways to stop it.
I know keto can be very suitable for pcos, so I am wondering if here are any women who have noticed keto helping with hormonal hair loss?
Thank you in advance ❤️
I’m gonna put TW here, will be talking about weight loss.
I am going to start off saying that I am overweight and need to lose weight for my health. And what got me into this b/p cycle (that’s been going on for 3 years now) was trying to lose weight when I knew nothing about how to do it in the right way. I tried to do it by eating way too little, lost weight but eventually it backfired and got me developing a binge eating disorder and bulimia.
Now that I have gained all the weight back, and a bit more, I am stuck at maintaining that / gaining more. I feel like the only motivation strong enough would be to know that I could actually acchieve what I am trying to acchieve by purging is by stop doing it.
So anyone who has healed from this disorder or been clean for a long time, how did it affect your weight? If you had weight to lose, did you lose it?
Thank you in advance ❤️🩹
I often hear people saying that eating too little amount of calories can stall / prevent weight loss, especially if you have pcos. What is your experience? Did eating too little slow down your weight loss?
Edit: feel free to share more about your experience in the comments ☺️
What is that one thing that made you abel to lose weight? If you are someone who didn’t get results just by being on calorie deficit
Did quitting dairy actually help you with weight loss? I hear this a lot and I know we are all individuals but I’m wondering if there is actaully any truth to it. Thanks for your answers in advance 🤗
I’ve been on keto and calorie deficit for 2,5 months now (20g carbs a day). My monthly average calorie intake is 1600, I am 163cm and weight 67kg. I go to the gym twice a week and walk 10k steps daily. I weighted myself yesterday for the first time since starting keto and the scale showed me 67,5kg. My clothes do fit better but my measurements are the same. So I’m guessing I’ve only lost water weight.
Needless to say that I am a bit discouraged. I’m doing keto because it makes me feel good and it’s actually the only way I have been abel to get my hormones in balance and have my period (I have pcos). But I’m also hoping to lose a few kg. So what can I do? Does anyone have any clue why I haven’t lost any weight?
And just to mention, I measure everything I eat. Every drop of sauce, oil, vegetables and so on. And what’s even more strange is that from november to january before I was on keto my montly average was 1800 calories and I lost 3kg. So I’m really clueless of what is happening😔 I planned on staying on keto for the rest of my life but if it means my maintanence calories are 1600, that’s just devestating
