Hi all. I am new here. My name is Jen and I am a new mother to a 3 week old little boy. I also have PCOS and SBD was recommended my my doctor. I gained 90 pounds with throughout my pregnancy and I am curious to know if that and having PCOS will make this more of a challenge for me?

Congrats on your new baby!

I also have PCOS, and although it may take longer to lose, SB is SO beneficial in helping 'overcome' the side effects of PCOS... you have a smart doctor to have recommended this way of eating!

I lost over 50 lbs a couple of years ago, and some of it has crept back...so here I am, back on the beach. Pull up a towel and get comfortable!

Good Luck!
