Hey you guys!
I’ve been having discussions with some people online and in real life about weight loss and what makes you lose weight. A little back infos, I suffer from PCOS and am insulin resistant, so 2 things people in the PCOS community like to take as “reasons they’re not losing weight”. I’m sticking to CICO and complex carbs and no sugar but nothing overly crazy. Just healthier in general. I am losing weight and I haven’t had any issues with losing most of the time in my life. I keep reading about all these people in the PCOS community who swear CICO didn’t work for them, it’s not so easy and high insulin levels make it impossible to lose weight, other people telling me a calorie deficit will destroy my metabolism, the list goes on. I call BS on a lot of things they told me. When I wasn’t trying to lose, I didn’t eat good. I overate, I ate too much sugar, carbs, huge portions etc. They’re telling me they’re doing exercise 5x a week, eating healthy, some days only 800kcal (wtf?) and still not losing.
So what’s the science here? Am I being a bit too narrow-minded or does insulin resistance defy the rules of thermodynamics? Does PCOS affect me differently than these other women or are they maybe not being so honest with themselves? Does a low-carb diet or keto actually make a difference when the calories are same? I’m not talking from a biochemical view point bc obviously different amount of carbs and types of carbs will trigger different hormonal reactions in your body. But do they affect weight loss so much?
I’m just really interested and am reading ambivalent things and studies contradicting each other. It’s wild out there, lmao.
Thank you!
