Weightloss supplements for people suffering from PCOS?!


Question: Weightloss supplements for people suffering from PCOS?
Are there any natural supplements to help women who suffer from PCOS? Specifically one that can help with weight loss. I am not looking for a miracle pill to "melt" away fat, just something to help move things along. Women who suffer from PCOS often have a very hard time loosing weight compared to others.

Answers:

Focus more on your health rather than your weight because having excess weight (particularly on the abdomen) can lead to health problems. If you take care of your health you should hopefully feel fitter and happier, and you might lose a little weight as a bonus. So healthy eating and exercise is what to aim for. Try to get some daily aerobic exercise. A little power walking day time with a friend might be beneficial.....weather permitting. Don't walk in the evening and don't walk alone. Be safe. And walking with a friend should help lift your spirits. With PCOS you need to keep an eye on your blood sugar levels moreover because insulin resistance can be a feature of PCOS. It would be advisable to get a full medical check up if you haven't already done so.....particularly focusing on blood sugar, blood pressure, thyroid function and sex hormone levels (including free testosterone).

There is no such thing as a miracle pill to melt fat.
Regular aerobic exercise should help speed your metabolism a little.
Avoid cakes, pastries biscuits and chocolate and instead try to get your carbohydrates from such as rice, wholemeal bread and pasta, and potatoes. This should help with blood sugar control. Try chewing fennel seeds before a meal if you want to try and reduce your appetite......it is an old-fashioned Mediterranean remedy for that....it might work for some so worth trying. And assuming you are not on any thyroid medication, you could take sea kelp after meals. Take as directed on the label. But don't take this if you are on any kind of medication for your thyroid. Also, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first before taking any supplements if you are on any prescribed medications or have any other medical conditions to be safe.

Try to find a forum or support group online for women with PCOS.
Best wishes.
