I had PCOS. Wasn't having a cycle. Went keto and started my period 10 days later. Finally ovulated 2 months later. I no longer have any cyst around my ovaries. I've been doing it 4 years and was able to have my now 7week old baby! It works! I'll never go back. I've also lost weight, which is a great benefit.

It’s taken years for me to come to terms with the fact that sugar is my enemy. My body works so much better on a low carb diet. Meat and water are sustenance, all else is filler. Thank you for validating that.

[@chymbra8582]

I have spent a life time of being told I was fat, lazy and a compulsive over eater. Until the last 5 to 7 years there was nothing to be found on defining PCOS and how to change one's diet. About 15 years ago my sister (with her High School Diploma) diagnosed my PCOS, but there was Still no place to turn for help. Most Dr.s still know nothing about PCOS and most of them are still telling women they are fat, lazy and compulsive over eaters. I am tearful writing this because I know I am not the only woman who carries the scars from abuse by ignorant doctors and the general population.

[@rhiannonwalker3047]

This made me so sad to read. I am 43 but have pretty much went through the same thing. I grew up with a mother that loved to bake and cook. Constantly. Then when I was around 12-14 she was always telling me how lazy and fat I was. How I would be so much prettier if I just lost weight. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and PCOS in my teens and then multiple sclerosis when I was 22. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Its been a long road. For many other reasons, I no longer have a relationship with my mother, but I feel awful for anyone who has ever gone through anything similar. Those scars never go away. 😔

I dropped 100lbs, the hair on my head is growing in thicker and the hair growth on my face and body is slowing down. Best of all, I got pregnant on the first try! I’m now a mother to a beautiful healthy baby boy! The endocrinologist who diagnosed me was convinced that was almost impossible. Thanks for spreading the word Dr. Berry!

Can I ask how many calories you eat? My PCOS is awful. I lost 67 pounds just before the pandemic doing low carb. Unfortunately, I’ve gained half back. I need to lose it again and keep going. I have about 100 pounds to lose. Trying to get back on strictly.

[@Unsensitive]

@@christinerutledge9561 could try changing when you eat, morning vs evening, as well as avoiding polyunsaturated fats, so less pork and chicken unless you know it's diet is low PUFA, avoid all vegetable/seed oils any any products with them. C19 also seems to had an effect on mitochondrial function and beta-oxidation, reducing ability to create energy from fat metabolism, which may play a role. Looks like it's a result of increased ROS due to many factors, such as C19 effect on ACE2 and downstream effects. *Medcram* has a good video on this, explaining it better than I ever could. Potential solution for this, get near infrared light exposure, which produces melatonin in the skin, which works as an antioxidant. So get more Sun during the day, even in the winter. At night make sure the lights are off so your pineal gland makes melatonin when you sleep.

I went back only eating once a day after pregnancy and I’ve lost all but about 7lbs again. I still have more to go, that I finished loosing, but I’m very happy with my progress so far.

Same age. Was told by 3 different doctors I would never have children. I warned my husband before we were married. But wanting to look good for my wedding, I went on the evil Atkins diet. Starving myself on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day was not resulting in weight loss. Nor was non stop exercise. Anyhow our first child came about a year after our marriage. Of course I returned to the food pyramid while pregnant. Wanted a healthy baby. Wish I didn't, as her Poly Ovarian Syndrom is much worse and I blame the food pyramid. She would have been much better of if I had stayed with Atkins. I gave up on having a second baby and decided to go again on the evil Atkins diet. Again became pregnant and unfortunately returned to the food pyramid. I started to gain quickly. So I kept my calories at 1600 low fat, high fibre calories. Was lectured on weight gain. Felt guilty about it. 80 pounds. I also felt guilty about not eating enough for a pregnant woman. Very miserable pregnancy. That's evil Adventist. Then about 14 years ago my husband had 3 strokes and we found out he was diabetic. I put him on the Adventist influence diet they gave me at the hospital. Food pyramid based. Every 3 weeks both he and his blood work were worse. This went on for 8 months. I read Good Calories, Bad Calories. Watched The Oiling of America. Changed both of our diets to the old British diet in the prologue. Basically the evil Atkins diet again. I dropped from barely fitting a size 18 to 6/8. No starvation involved or malnutrition involved. Fixed so many health issues including degenerative bone disease in my right foot. My husband's next bloodwork improved. Kept getting better. Several months later a stranger understood him. He is still doing great. I will never return to starving on low fat hell. As far as I am concerned I owe my children and grandchildren to Atkins.

Dr. Berry, God bless you and your family for all you do. My daughter came home from an abusive marriage late last year. She put on a lot of weight and developed PCOS during her time with him. Her health has improved greatly, but recovery is rarely a straight line. She's been mostly keto this year, but her health markers were quite terrible last week. High cholesterol (216) and triglycerides (231), and a bunch of other stuff. The doctor insists that she go off the keto and onto plant-based. We are fans of you, so we know better. But we're concerned that her BMs are light beige to white and clay-consistency. What I've been able to find out means that maybe she doesn't have adequate bile? Or that her bile ducts are clogged? Should we start her on bile salts, or is there a better way to clear out the sludge in her system? Much good cheer to you and your family this Christmas and new year!

Hi Jennifer, diet isn't the only crucial part of health, it's about 1/4th. (Also, not eating OFTEN matters too).

I’ve had it for 35+ years. I had one period when I was 14 and never ovulated again. I’m 49. I’ve been paleo-keto for 20+ years and it didn’t help a bit. Well it did help me feel a lot better and finally lose weight. But in that time I had an abdominal hysterectomy and should have been in the ER 22 times with ruptured cysts. The only thing that keeps me from continuing to get them is my infrared light panel. I’ve had 12 ortho surgeries in the last 6 years so I couldn’t keep up my intensely active lifestyle and I’ve gained weight in ways that make absolutely no sense for a normal person- which is the way things have always been for me. I’m going to try longer fasts and cut out things like kombucha (I dont have it often). I’ve started berberime and acv and I’m going to hope to finally make progress. It sucks.

I lived with PCOS for all of my supposedly fertile years. Depo provera, Metformin, estrogen hormones...the only dietary advice I ever heard was to quit caffeine in all forms. Which I did, and it did help. Now I'm fully post-menopausal and I was thankful for the relative peace and quiet. But a few years in, I developed hypertension (likely hereditary, so I'm told), Type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia (I refuse to take statins.) The worst part of it is urinary incontinence, compounded by pelvic organ prolapse and frequently recurring UTIs, with some random bouts of fecal incontinence caused by repeated antibiotics for the UTIs. I'm on a beta blocker, an ARB, a calcium channel blocker, Metformin again, plus an anti-spasmodic for the bladder and occasionally a low-dose opioid for the diarrhea. I'm pissed off all the time, and tired of living on meds but still afraid to go anywhere or accept social invitations because of the bladder. I hate this life.

But she was put on the pill and had her period for the first time. She gained it all back and more when she was in nursing school. Then she had the gastric sleeve. She lost a lot of weight. But gained it back after a few years of not following the diet she should have. She's married and has a daughter though needed help with medication to help her ovulate and get the eggs to mature. Now she's going to have twins in April! The low carb diet is very good for pcos!

What you get while on the pill is not a true period. It's just shedding of the uterine lining. The pill prevents the body from ovulating ever, so you get bleeding, but not an actual period. In Europe they've been banning a lot of the birth control pills that are still legal here, because suppressing the body's natural cycles like that turns out to lead to problems later down the line (who could have guessed, right?) such as a significantly increased likelihood of various cancers.

[@PM-yc1rf]

There is also 4 kind of PCOS : Inflammation, birth control pills, Insuline resistance, stress. So it is nice to know which one you have. But healthy diet with low carbs is a very very good start no matter the root cause ! Also the causes can be multiple like 1,2,3 or 4 out of the 4 mentioned above. And they can impact one anothers like stress trigerring Inflammation triggering then Insuline resistance etc.

I know several people recently diagnosed with this. They are very thin but are struggling with infertility from what they were told was from PCOS.

[@Faithandseekerofchrist]

I suspect that I do have PCOS but I couldn't afford to get diagnosed because either my insurance didn't cover it or if my insurance didn't cover it, they would not answer the phone. But I've been having problems with regular periods. But since starting the keto diet, I've been able to lose weight, my period came almost three weeks ago and believe it or not, my body hair has reduced a lot and I have a lot more the hair I want which on my head! I also don't find as many white hairs on my head to pluck before starting Keto! I also am in the process of starting a dairy-free diet as well but I read ingredients before I get it because a lot of them have canola oil and vegetable oil which is what we want to stay away from!

[@CAMarg-zs1xq]

I finally started taking my PCOS seriously. I believe this 100% because I started doing a protein heavy breakfast and incorporating higher proteins as well as eating regularly. I do take a few supplements like Salem cinnamon, berberine, inositol and magnesium glyceinate(sp?).... I haven't even started real workouts but I have been following the recommendations of taking a walk or doing some sort of movement for 10 minutes after I eat as well as slow weighted workouts and the PCOS treadmill walk.... That is all I have done and I have already lost weight and I have so much more energy and I no longer have cravings for sweets and when I do I have like one piece of chocolate and I am good.

[@hllymchll]

my (what I suspect is) PCOS didn't start until I was pregnant. I ate healthy, as in no processed food, but I did eat a lot of carbs. I went from 120 prepregnancy to 190. yes 190 at delivery at 5'2". and it doesn't "fall off" during breastfeeding either 🙃. been debating on doing animal based vs keto but I think I'd benefit from lower carbs first

[@ryleereynolds5710]

Are you sure it’s not just baby weight? I gained 50 pounds after graduating highschool and my stomach is shaped odd now with huge stretch marks out of no where an I have never had a kid. A lot of women gain like 50-60 pounds from giving birth. I’ve read that you can be born with PCOS which makes sense of why I was born such a hairy child and my whole life I have been more aggressive, defensive, and masculine. And my period started at 14 and has always been irregular. I think you have to have all these symptoms and possible cysts on your ovaries. I also went from a 36 A cup to a 38 D cup. My boyfriend and I took a break and a few months later I got back with him and he saw my chest size when I took my shirt off and said “Jesus Christ they got huge!” In the first year I jumped from 140-165/170 and now in the past year I jumped from 170-190 and I’m 5’0. If you start having period issues and it’s hard to lose weight then I’d definitely go get checked for PCOS. I started intermediate fasting 2 days ago and I’m on day three and I lost 3 pounds already. All I do for exercise is walk. My brother is fit and muscular and lost 90 pounds in the past year and gave me this diet. I eat at 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, and 5:00. And every third day I fast the entire day! No carbs, sugar, or soda!

[@hllymchll]

@@ryleereynolds5710 LOL I wish my boobs grew that much. idk it's so weird. mine might be hormonal because I was always fit and in shape without trying hard and then I got pregnant and in the third trimester, I exploded in weight. most women do gain 40-60 lbs and not the recommended 30-40lbs which is barely anything. but most women don't gain 70 from pregnancy. I think my hormones and not eating enough protein at the time gave me high blood pressure and insulin resistance at the very least, so maybe not PCOS per se. either way I'm gonna try intermittent fasting and super low carb to help. thanks!

[@hllymchll]

I'm in a few GLP-1 agonist groups, as I'm experimenting with use (for my own IR and terrible habits), and the sheer number of people who say they have PCOS so they'll have to be on the injections forever is ASTOUNDING. I've had my comments deleted by mods, and been temporarily-banned-from-commenting for responding with information about hyperinsulinemia, and how diet affects it, and how you can absolutely eat to maintain your insulin sensitivity after stopping the medication. Other members firing back about how my way of thinking ("victim blaming") is outdated. And admins (including a nurse practitioner who should know better) telling me that i'm supposedly giving (inaccurate) medical advice when I shouldn't be. It's fascinating how instead of being thrilled there's a way out, a way for *change*, people want to insist they're in a position where they can't do anything about it.

Hi Doc... I'm wondering if you could give diet analysis for Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. My girlfriend has CVS and is struggling to gain weight in a healthy way. She has episodes frequently and I'm trying to help her with lifestyle changes, but diet is the cornerstone for her to heal. She weighs 97 lbs at 5'5". She is skin and bone at this point. She is missing half her teeth from the amount of bile and acid she's puked up. It really messes with her self-worth and self-image to be at such a low weight. I know Keto isn't going to be the right diet for her. I want to shove empty calories in her constantly but I know that's the wrong answer too. Doctors don't know a cure or even the exact cause. Not enough people are aware of CVS. I think any thoughts you have on this matter would help others and I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

[@KiKi-tf8rv]

Keto is a weight stabilizing diet so it may help her gain weight. My son has this, so I know how awful it can be. (He’s only 5) Is she seeing a neurologist for her CVS? It is a neurological condition, so a keto or carnivore diet will probably be recommended. It’s hard for my son to avoid carbs at his age, but I’m hoping it’ll get easier the older he gets. I hope she’s able to get some relief and get healthier!🙏❤️

Dr. Berry. I have suffered with PCOS since I was 13 years old. I have been looking into doing the Carnivore diet. However, I was told I was allergic to beef, I have not eaten beef for about 4 years now. I have been just doing Turkey, Pork and chicken. If go the carnivore way of living do you think over time I could start eating beef again or should I avoid it? I was never tested, just with the symptoms I told my doctor about he said I was allergic to it and to avoid it. So would love to eat it again. Every time I eat it I get bloated and have really bad diarrhea and burning pains in my stomach. That’s really all the symptoms that I have from eating it. Thank you in advanced
