@buddyt Yes. This. I needed to hear this! I get so focused on prepping what he enjoys so that he eats that I forget what my goals are. He’s told me before to not worry about him if I want to make something different- so I need to just listen!

@buddyt Awesome. That sounds like a good way to get started in the gym. I want to do the same thing with cooking a meat,carb, and veggie rather than just a meat+carb and skipping the veggie (which I often do because I’m the only one who will eat it). Maybe I should do just meat+ veggie for me...

@buddyt I think it could be either. I’m not really sure if anyone knows for sure if insulin resistance or PCOS comes first (maybe a chicken or the egg came first scenario?). I’m not sure. But either way, insulin resistance goes hand in hand with PCOS… unfortunately for us :( Thank you for...

@dinafrancis I would double upvote this if I could because I super appreciate your suggestions and boiled egg tips and tricks! Also LOL at the comic you mentioned 😂

@dinafrancis Holy shit!! Those side effects?! That will be a no thank you! I’m glad you found a substitute that works!!

@jbrad01x Ooh I see, that makes a lot of sense. I’ve always just calculated BMI and never know what to do with that since it doesn’t really tell you much other than if you’re obese. Thanks for helping me understand the TDEE! I’ll use that calculator you suggested.

@jbrad01x This may be a very dumb question, but can you tell me how to calculate my TDEE.. I’m not sure what that is. I’m definitely a newbie here🤦🏼‍♀️

If you’re at all familiar with PCOS, you know that women with this condition tend to gain weight easily and it’s really hard to lose (I.e. insulin resistance by the body leads the pancreas to produce more insulin than needed and thus, the body holds onto fat + increased androgens also lead to...
