Weight loss & diet
I need help with diet and probably suggestion on jogging/walking exercise too.
I have PCOS and due to this (plus the medicines) I can never bring my weight down. Since there are no yoga centers nearby and I am finding it very difficult to learn it by watching videos (I never did yoga in my life!) please help what could be best diet? And if I start jogging or running or walking everyday would it help?
Also note, online diet suggestions are terrible. A south Indian family would never listen to only fruit diet :(
You must understand that PCOD is basically a pre-diabetic stage. Diet management has been proven to be beneficial for managing the symptoms of the disease and reducing weight. Due to constant hormonal fluctuations, the body goes into a weight resistant stage, wherein diet management and exercise don't work as efficiently as they otherwise would. You first need to reset your hormones by eating the correct combination of foods and more importantly set your metabolism levels and body clock right.
Next Steps
Of course physical activity is very important to maintain balance of hormonal levels and initiate excess energy expenditure. Have small and frequent meals and follow a strict dietary regime including good amount of fibre in your diet. For more action points on how to reset your hormones and kick start metabolism to reduce weight and manage PCOD, you can contact me on direct consult. Alternatively you can visit me to get a customised diet plan based on a hormone reset.
