As I was ransacking the storeroom to look for a Malay-English dictionary for Alycia last week, I stumbled upon some of the books that I had bought aeons ago on low-carb diet, including one on Atkins Diet. My attention diverted from the dictionary to the diet books immediately. I brought out the book on Atkins Diet from the storeroom and began to read. Reading the Atkin Diet book brought me back to the year 2001 when I was diagnosed with PCOS and had to battle weight gain and infertility.
Through my own research and reading, I managed to shed the 6kg that I had gained in 2 months as a result of PCOS. I also joined a low carb forum and several other PCOS forums to read experiences and stories of other sufferers. But I did not loose the 6kg in a month or two. It was through lots and lots of hard work, sacrifices, determination and about a year later that I managed to shed off the pounds I had gained. I had to give up many of my favorite food, comprising mainly of carbs like cakes, pastries, noodles and white flour products. Sacrificing my favorite food was secondary. It was the sheer determination of finding the time to exercise that was hard-hitting. I wonder if anyone could do what I did – I exercised twice a day though I held a job which required me to work long hours. I ran round the neighborhood at 6am every morning and even when it rained, with an umbrella in hand!

Totally agree! There is no fast and easy way to lose weight, no matter what the ads say! I went with the South Beach diet which worked well and I kept the weight off. Still have to watch what I eat as I am prone to the insulin syndrome. If u want to lose weight fast just for a special occasion, try the green bean diet. Works in 4-5 days, but the weight does go back on after.
You have a very strong determination. I always hangat2 tahi ayam keke.
For your info. I found many suitable dictionaries and kamus ( new ones) for primary as well as secondary levels. Shall pass to the kids when they visit next.
Chris, only eat green beans & nothing else??
Vicky, what to do, I want to look slim 😀
Mum, thanks 🙂
Heavens no! Green beans feature a bit, but allowed grapefruit, hard boiled eggs, sm. portion of lean meat, salad, tomato juice, coffee/ tea no milk. No dairy products allowed, but I have to have (skim) milk in my coffee, and I did have some yogurt. Also allowed a handful of nuts. I think originall it was called the “St. Joseph’s Hosp. diet”.
