raw food and PCOS testimony

Source.

Switching to raw foods has changed my life and I firmly believe, after trying everything else, is the ultimate key for beating PCOS.

I tried supplements, dietary changes, Metformin, lots of exercise (not moderate, I am talking the Dr. H twice a day workouts and diet plan, I do Shaun T’s Insanity and adore it) and got no significant changes. I want to be clear here, I lost a very small amount of weight, gained muscle and cardiovascular health in a big way, but I did not lose anywhere near enough weight and I did not rid myself of the PCOS symptoms. No matter how I adjusted my caloric intake I simply didnt lose the fat until I made raw food a significant part of my diet.

I strongly encourage anyone struggling with PCOS to make a trip to the library and check out books about raw food and raw superfoods. I started sprouting, drinking green smoothies (youtube has many great instructional videos on how to make a good green smoothie), eating raw fruits and veggies, and continued my vigorous workouts. FINALLY, success.

One need not spend time in the kitchen making complex, gourmet raw meals…. one need not spend time dehydrating foods… truly, just using your blender in the morning and eating fruits and now and then a handfull of soaked nuts is all you do. You wont believe how easy it is. Even if you only incorporate the green smoothie in the morning and do nothing else you will notice changes right away.

I feel SO good. I have so much energy. I am nearly 30 lbs lighter. My periods are regular. My PMS is nearly gone. My mood is effortlessly optimistic. I sleep better. I no longer ruin shirts by permanently stinking up their armpits. The dark patches on my toes and armpits are nearly gone. I no longer bloat, my stomach is FLAT. I am not talking about abs, I have had strong tummy muscles ever since starting the Insanity workout. I am talking about the rounded tummy bloat we all love to hate. IT IS GONE. My skin looks great. I am growing more hair and it falls out so much less, my hairdresser noticed how much thicker it is. I honestly could go on and on, but you get the picture. I am walking and PCOS no longer dogs my steps…. I left it behind.

I feel so much for everyone still battling this syndrome, and I hope with all my heart that hearing the above will help you. I know the blow to your self esteem involved with trying so hard in so many ways and not seeing changes. Dont lose hope, there is an answer.

In addition to going to the library to read books about raw food by David Wolfe and other authors, do a search for keywords such as raw, sunfood, rejuvelac, enzymes and especially, alkaline body. I think systemic acidity is a huge contributing factor to PCOS.

Blessings & good luck.
