How is that a result of high carb? The one person discussed in the article said that she felt better
on a high carb diet. Simple weight loss can resolve a lot of the PCOS problems discussed. This is
the only place in the article that carbohytradte was mentioned:
"Through trial and error, she found that she felt better when she followed a low-carbohydrate
diet that included whole grains. That, along with vitamins and exercise, keep her symptoms
under control."
In fact, research seems to indicate that PCOS is related to obesity: "Insulin resistance is a common
feature of PCOS and is more marked in obese women, suggesting that PCOS and obesity have a
synergistic effect on the magnitude of the insulin disorder." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/qu-
ery.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=14570747&dopt=Abstract
It also seems that some PCOS symptoms can be resolved via what is simplya low-calorie diet:
"Weight loss through a controlled low-calorie diet improves anthropometric indices in obese PCOS
patients" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12923151-

"Weight loss and exercise, often difficult to maintain, can often return a woman to normal ovulatory

I didn't see where the article that you posted mentioned Tanya's weight when she had PCOS related
problems and when she did not. Did she loose weight when she changed to a new lower carbohydrate way
of eating?

Sheesh, can't anybody apply simple logic? On the low-carb diet the effects of the condition were
attenuated or minimized. Therefore logically speaking, we can see that a high-carb diet made her
condition worse.

Sorry, this was posted on a science newsgroup and I thought that an actual study would be
appropriate. The literature which I read seems to indicate that that weight loss in general is
beneficial to individuals with PCOS. I was unable to find any mention of low carb in the PCOS info
on Medline. I also felt that the article left out some potentially important facts -- like did the
person in the article loose weight when she changed her WOE? Does her family have a history of PCOS?

Is it your memory or comprehension that lets you down? Tcomeau frequently recommends the Zone, which
is a medium carb diet. Or does "Med" stand for medical?

You know some times, a good interesting article has implications in science. If only to acquaint
some people with certain observations. The observations may not be verified in a formal study but it
is still valid in many cases.

I understand that, however, I do not necessarily agree with your conclusions. Why do you feel that
PCOS is a result of a "high carb" diet? Just last week didn't you critism someone who posted the
results of a study with eleven people in it? Now you are posting anedotal evidence about ONE person
and jumping to conclusions based on one sentence in the article?

I've not said that her condition was a result of a high carb diet. I said that the condition was
made worse by a high carb diet.

It isn't, that was an overstatement, but it's certainly exacerbated by a high glycemic load diet. I
developed PCOS in middle age, with no prior history of it, while on a high carb, low fat diet.
It isn't the strict result of high carb because there's an enormous genetic component to it, as
well, which high carbing helps bring to fruition. My paternal family is full of type ll diabetics,
early age of onset, for example.
The one person discussed in the

No, she said _low_ carb, which is how I read it originally, and what you've quoted below. In fact,
the most effective treatment for PCOS usually is low carbing, often along with metformin.

LOW carb, not high. Insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia cause PCOS.

Obesity is a consequence of hyperinsulinemia, the cause of IR. Insulin signals cells to store fat.
PCOS involves excess insulin secretion and poor utilization.

Lower calorie diets also require less insulin. Low carbing is the effective treatment of choice in
all the best and newest research on PCOS. It's also the way many infertile PCOSers become fertile,
often without the need for any further infertility treatments.
Obese folks losing weight is always a good thing.

Right. And exercise burns off glucose, and sensitizes the muscles to insulin. Anything that reduces
circulating insulin levels improves PCOS, as a rule.

I was very slim when I developed PCOS. Every case is different. I had no acne, either, but was
developing male pattern hair loss, labile hypertension, and had constant cysts. Researching the
cause of the cysts is what led me to adopt low carbing. The cysts went away, along with my labile

It isn't, that was an overstatement, but it's certainly exacerbated by a high glycemic load diet. I
developed PCOS in middle age, with no prior history of it, while on a high carb, low fat diet.
It isn't the strict result of high carb because there's an enormous genetic component to it, as
well, which high carbing helps bring to fruition. My paternal family is full of type ll diabetics,
early age of onset, for example.

the most effective treatment for PCOS usually is low carbing, often along with metformin.

LOW carb, not high. Insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia cause PCOS.

Obesity is a consequence of hyperinsulinemia, the cause of IR. Insulin signals cells to store fat.
PCOS involves excess insulin secretion and poor utilization.

Lower calorie diets also require less insulin. Low carbing is the effective treatment of choice in
all the best and newest research on PCOS. It's also the way many infertile PCOSers become fertile,
often without the need for any further infertility treatments.
Obese folks losing weight is always a good thing.

Right. And exercise burns off glucose, and sensitizes the muscles to insulin. Anything that reduces
circulating insulin levels improves PCOS, as a rule.

I was very slim when I developed PCOS. Every case is different. I had no acne, either, but was
developing male pattern hair loss, labile hypertension, and had constant cysts. Researching the
cause of the cysts is what led me to adopt low carbing. The cysts went away, along with my labile
hypertension, and my CVD risk was cut in half.

I was unable to find that in the literature. Could you please point me to some articles?

Yes, I saw the part about fertility but I was unable to find any mention of low carb in the
literature that I searched.

I'm glad that you were able to get this under control. Scary stuff.
