Comments on: Women with PCOS reduced weight with lifestyle modification http://www.pcos.insulitelabs.com/blog/159/women-with-pcos-reduced-weight-with-lifestyle-modification/ Insulite PCOS System- a platform for information, expression & inspiration Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:39:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Angi Ingalls http://www.pcos.insulitelabs.com/blog/159/women-with-pcos-reduced-weight-with-lifestyle-modification/comment-page-1/#comment-61680 Angi Ingalls Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:24:00 +0000 http://pcos.insulitelabs.com/blog/index.php/women-with-pcos-reduced-weight-with-lifestyle-modification/#comment-61680 I felt compelled to come here and respond with some sort of disclaimer because not all the facts are given here. When given the options of taking birth control hormones, you must certainly look at all the risk factors. BCH's increase the risk for cysts (which in turn increases androgen levels) and insulin response issues which directly compound PCOS for the worse. If you try to help repair some of the PCOS damage with life style changes and real protocols that have been proven to help PCOS at the core, then the weight should come off. Birth control hormones are not a "weight loss" pill; its a drug that directly affects PCOS ... ultimately putting more hurdles in the way of symptom-repair.
