Anyone taking Cinnamon?
Hi ladies! I was dx with PCOS in November, after struggling with many issues for a few years. I was having about 1 period a year, and finally had one in December induced by Prometrium. I was put on Metformin, but couldn't tolerate it so I switched to taking Cinnamon and within 7 days had my period. That was about 35 days ago. I've continued taking it, and my new GYN wanted me to go really low carb, which I have done, and I'm continuing to take Cinnamon, and hoping that sometime this week, I'll get my period. I'm taking 1000mg per day, and counting it as 1g of carb. Just wanted to see if there were any cinnamon cysters here
Also, what are you finding works best for you? I'm very familiar with the low carb lifestyle, however 2 years ago when my weight wouldn't stop going up, my Endicrinologist suggested Weight Watchers and that only served to put weight ON me. My newest dr that dx me with PCOS describes PCOS as the bodies inability to process carbs, which makes sense. I have found that I have good luck sticking with mainly meat, eggs, cream and little cheese... I have a salad every other day. Just not sure if most are doing full Atkins, meat and cheese, carb cycling, etc.
Thanks!
