Don’t eat the bread! Wild cravings occur!
I know with PCOS you need to pretty much follow Atkins, South Beach Diet or Fat Flush Plan. All are low carb eating plans. It’s those pesky carbs that kill us. Even starchy vegetables are bad.
I started Weight Watchers last Wednesday for the accountability. When you have to go somewhere (it’s 2 minutes from where I work) and weigh in, the leader knows your name, there are others that have lost a lot of weight, then you get inspired and you stick with it. I’ve tried online only plans, but there was no accountability. Plus the weight watchers community boards are the most helpful of any place I’ve seen and I’ve tried dietwatch, ediet, sparkpeople.
One thing the 100+ board helped me figure out is that eating bread made me immediately starving to death. It is the craziest thing but if I don’t eat the bread, I’m fine. I can eat my points for the day and get through it just fine. But if I eat a whole wheat bagel or multi grain piece of bread, the extreme starvation kicks in and I have a heck of a time. Isn’t it crazy? Even if the bread is 1 point it just kills me.
So I think it’s a PCOS or insulin resistance thing. So from here on out I’m going to eat no bread. I’m still trying the 0 point whole grain tortillas. If I don’t eat them for one day and do better, then those will go as well.
