Diet, ? more thyroid: While exercise helps, the key to losing weight is diet ; a low-carb diet is esp. Beneficial for those with pcos. You say your thyroid is "under control" but that does not mean you are taking an optimal dose of thyroid- most who are hypothyroid benefit from taking t3 (liothyronine) or natural thyroid- see http://bit.Ly/1ccxy0r ; http://abt.Cm/18gpb3a ; http://bit.Ly/15k26u8 ; http://abt.Cm/1ntydpv.
