@pcos.weight.loss: Raise your hand if you were extremely confused when your doctor told you you were or could be pre-diabetic with PCOS 🙋‍♀️oh the FLASHBACKS! You might have been just as as confused and overwhelmed with questions as I was, but now as a Registered Dietitian for PCOS I can break it down for you. Let’s learn our bodies together 🤯👇 Did you know that 80% of PCOS women have insulin resistance? This is why PCOS is known as ✨diabetes of the ovaries✨ 📚 Remember, insulin resistance is when our cells are not able to convert sugars into energy, so now sugar is just swimming around our bodies causing other symptoms like cravings, irregular periods, uncontrollable weight gain, ovarian cysts, fatigue, and fertility issues. But wait, there's hope! By making healthy lifestyle changes (save this post for the cheat sheet on slide 5 🙌), you can help improve your insulin sensitivity and feel better overall. Here’s what I recommend 👇 ✨ Swap your HIIT workouts with a 30 minute slow, weighted workout + schedule a ten min walk outside after your meals. This helps improve your body's ability to use insulin effectively, and we love better blood sugar control! ✨Work on a quality night routine so that you get better sleep. Lack of sleep increases cortisol, which can make our cells even more insulin resistant. ✨Gradually reduce your carbs and pair them with more protein (especially at breakfast)! It’s a win win because this combo will help your body use insulin more effectively to help your symptoms while helping you stay full. 👆 Go ahead and get started on these tips for your symptoms, then head over to our link in the bio to take our quiz to see if your PCOS type is Insulin Resistance! We’ll give you more tips afterwards on how to get control of your health back 💕 #pcos #pcosweightloss #pcosawareness #pcosinsulinresistance #insulinresistance
