I’ve been trying to explain this to people for years.

Lump Crab Meat Lettuce Cups
(Low-carb, grain-free, gluten-free)

Ingredients:

• 6-8 oz lump crab meat (use real crab, not imitation!)
• 2-3 TBSP mayo
• 6 Boston lettuce leaves
• Avocado slices
• 3 slices cooked bacon

1. Gently break up lump crab meat with fork, leaving large lumps (don’t shred too finely) and mix with 2-3 TBSP mayo. Do not use too much mayo! You want to taste the flavor and texture of the crab, not just mayo soup. Add salt and pepper if you like and mix together–I didn’t add any.

2. Wash your lettuce leaves; pat dry.

3. Cook your bacon or use pre-cooked bacon like I did and warm it in the microwave. Pat grease with paper towel; Cut strips in half.

4. Slice your avocado slices; I prefer thin slices for this delicate lettuce wrap.

5. Place 1 bacon strip and avocado slices in lettuce leaf; place small scoop of crab meat salad atop bacon and avocado in lettuce leaves.

6. Dig in!

Realistically. “What happens when you get to your goal weight”
No sugarcoating.
The point is, this is why your physical body is simply one small part of your being. Only will changing your perspective/thought pattern really make things better.

this makes me so upset. i hate PCOS and i want it to go away. i want to be able to have babies when im older :( fuck fuck fuck.

Not just junk food but foods high in sugars and starches, which is mainly what the average US citizen can afford. Which would explain why there’s been a sharp increase in cases. No one believes me when I tell them that I never want to have kids. Not just because of my disorder but it does play a part of it. Odds are if its a girl she’ll have the same health issues I do, if not worse, and mine are horrible enough (this has been going on in my mothers side for that last 4 generations and progressively getting worse). I’d most likely become a control freak to make sure the disorder never progressed to my stage only to mess her up in other ways.

*Updating because I now have more then 20 minutes and have been able to re-read the graphic. I think a few things need to be fixed on it. 1st you either have PCOS or you don’t and it’s incurable. No magical combination of foods will prevent it or make it go away, and because women with PCOS tend to have naturally high insulin levels poor nutrition leads to a high risk of obesity. 2nd it’s ‘excess body and facial hair growth’. It’s a common symptom for the hair on top of your head to thin. This should have been specified.

Whomever is writing these is making a lot of mistakes. I’ve run across quite a few with half truths and out right misinformation.
