How many grams of carbohydrates should be consumed per day for managing PCOS?
How can I reach my desired body fat goal of 20% while managing PCOS symptoms, gut inflammation, and sensitivities to certain foods? I weigh 82kg, with 33% body fat, which means around 55kg of muscle and water. My TDEE is 2600kcal, but I currently eat around 2000kcal per day. I've cut out dairy and am trying to limit sugar and processed carbohydrates due to insulin sensitivity. My hormone balance has improved, but I still struggle with excess chin hair growth. I recently started weightlifting again after stalling in 2025, and I'm considering a MAPS 15 style program. What strategies should I follow to achieve my goal given these challenges?
I have a question about the episode s4/e08 Demystifying Metabolism for the Endurance Athlete with Dr. Stephanie Compton, PhD, RD and the clip Weight Loss Insights. I'm considering an 800 Cal diet like David Goggins. Currently, I am at 1400 calories, but after losing my first 30lbs, I wasn't seeing any more progress, so I went down to a 1200-calorie diet and maintained it for about 6 months, doing 45 minutes of Burn Boot Camp 5 days per week. However, there was no weight loss on the scale at all—just fluctuations of ±6 lbs from day to day. I've kept the 30lbs off for a little over a year, but I'm not moving and have not been for the past 6 months. I have PCOS, or what health professionals refer to as a form of PCOS, so I have had no luck losing weight. I was hoping to find insight or recommendations to step it up.
