[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 637831, member: 1963"] MWM, I am waving agreement on CB having her daughter sit down with a nutritionist. I am diabetic. I found this out in June. I also have intestinal issues that require me to be careful of the type and quantity of fiber I eat. A nutritionist helped me to figure out a diet plan that worked for me and met my physical requirements as well. I am down 26lbs now with 44 to go. I eat well. I'm not starving all the time, etc. My BiPolar (BP) and the diabetes make me crave sweets/carbs. My way of dealing with this is a bit weird. I do buy cookies, etc, but I only eat one. I put the rest in the freezer where they have to be thawed before I can eat them. I don't eat chips and the like anymore. If I crave something like that, I eat a handful of nuts instead. High in calories, yes, but loaded with protein and healthy minerals. PCOS is a bear. Ask her doctor about putting her on Metformin. It's a diabetic medication that can cause weight loss as a side effect. At 5'3" and 220, she is dangerously obese. I'd strongly recommend both meeting with a nutritionist, and a complete physical before starting a diet program. Ask the doctor about exercise recommendations and have her screened for anything that would contraindicate exercise. Losing weight without exercising is very difficult. I'm just now to the point of being able to start walking after fracturing my fibula. My weight loss plateaued. Wishing your daughter the best of luck. Don't beat yourself up about whether or not she can have children. Her ongoing good health is a lot more important. [/QUOTE]
