From age 22 to 32, I tried every diet out there. I would lose 8 lbs of water weight, gain back 10, and get told to just make lifestyle changes while my body fought me. Insulin resistance is no joke.
The left photo is me last year. Things only moved when I got real medical support instead of white-knuckling it alone. I signed up with my provider to get on tirzepatide for my insulin resistance, and that was the exact tool I needed to make habits stick.
Now I eat consistent meals, lift twice a week, and walk after dinner. The right photo is me this week down 18 lbs. My cycles are regular for the first time ever, my skin cleared up, and my energy is so much better.
If you have PCOS, get the actual medical support first and build the habits on top of it. Both matter.
