Tarra I can only imagine with cooking for so many that it is difficult to follow the New Dawn but as you have found it that may be the only way to go to maintain your health.

Terry, Thanks so much for reading. Honestly I didn't know if anyone even read my blog anymore. You are such a kind and supportive person, and steadfast. Thank you so much. And you are right on the money - IAAP (New Dawn) is the only thing that is going to work for me and I really know that now.

Hi Tara...I am not sure if you will remember me (Christina Parsons Fisanick) but we met at the PCOSA conference in 2001 (I think). Anyway, I have been reading you blog for a little while and thought I would chime in with what I have been doing.

I, too, am very sensitive to chemicals in most foods. MSG and artificial sweetners do me in. So, in Jan. 2006, after coming to my wit's end with PCOS, I decided to follow the South Beach diet. In 14 months, I have lost 60 lbs, and I feel really great. There are no additives, no chemicals, all whole foods. Also, it is the absolute easiest thing I have ever done. I eat all the time, so I never feel hungry or deprived.

Just thought I would post. I know how badly you are suffering with your current plan.

OF COURSE I remember you! I still find your website from time to time and check in to see what's new with you. You know we never did meet in person because I ended up not making it to the conference at the last minute. But we have known each other "online" for years and years. Anyhow, I have never really looked into south beach, but I am happy to hear that it is free of all the junk that makes me sick. Do you do your own cooking or do you purchase pre-made meals at the store? 60 pounds and feeling well is really wonderful. Thank you - Sometime I would love to hear more about the things that you can't eat - may be we could compile a list of hidden junk that we should stay away from. I am going back to eating my IAAP foods, all whole with no hidden ingredients, "clean" as they say.

    I am so glad that you remember me!

    I do think that it would be a good idea to compose a list of not so good foods, but I wonder if it would be the same for us all?

    I haven't been able to update my PCOS in about four years since I left my last university, and no longer have access to it. I don't really have the time to do so anyway.

    Since we last spoke in cyberspace many things have happened: I have been pregnant and miscarried twice (ectopic and blighted ovum), my house burned down five days before Christmas and my kitties died in the blaze, I finished my PhD, got a great job, and am really, really busy.

    It is hard to believe that anything could work so well as South Beach has. I joined Curves recently and in one month (in combination with South Beach) I lost 9 lb and 17.75 inches!

    I wish you the best on your trek to find the plan that works for you. I hope this continues to work for me, but you never can be sure with PCOS.
