I will share my struggles, challenges, and strategies to overcome, succeed or fail.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I am doing Weight Watchers and I get a lot of support from the weekly meetings. We have the best meeting in my town. We share a lot of tips and recipes and even have a monthly clothing swap and do Zumba every once in a while. Having a group to cheer you on and lift you up is very important. Being accountable to someone is also important, so I want this blog to serve as an accountability factor for me.<\/p>\n<p>The new WW program is focused on low-fat protein, fruits, and vegetables, which is good for me. I need to follow a food plan that is high protein and fat, low carb and low sugar. I plan to use the points for my fat and then basically follow Keto in my food choices. Keto has shown to be successful for people with PCOS. So I am doing a PCOS\/Keto version of Weight Watchers.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of foods that those with PCOS are recommended to avoid. I will start cutting most of these from my diet, especially those that don\u2019t fit with Keto.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to follow my journey or join along with me, follow me on Facebook. I will post more frequently on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sheranmemories\/\">Sheran Memories page on Facebook<\/a> and do a weekly blog here. I\u2019d love to encourage you in your journey and swap strategies and tips for success.<\/p>\n<p>Here is to never giving up and becoming our best selves for optimal living.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have written before about my struggle with PCOS\u00a0and I have to say, I\u2019m not much further along on my journey than I was then.
