I'm on day 3 of the detox now. Halfway through day 1 I got a headache that didn't shift until the end of day 2; and my body was totally rebelling against what I was trying to eat - I made a Morrocan vegetable stew that I've made before and enjoyed, but I was gagging as I cooked it and could hardly eat any of it! Was saying to DP last night that it's just as well I could have chicken etc today or I would be giving up.
This morning I blearily made my way to the bathroom mirror, ready to pluck the overnight hairs that had appeared. Except - there were none. I usually have to spend about 10 minutes sorting out the little blighters, but not a single appearance. And then I noticed that I haven't got any spots. I'm on my period and am usually pretty pimply around this time, but they've all gone. I haven't had skin as clear as this since I was about 9.
It's like being smacked in the face - these side effects of PCOS are within my control. I couldn't follow this as a general diet - not enough protein! - but I'm going to try so hard to incorporate some things in to my life, properly, and not just saying one thing and doing another.
Also, even though I've just increased my Metformin dose, the Met belly has gone too, hurray!

That sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that diet could affect hair growth, or do you think that's more to do with the Met dosage?
Well done for sticking to the detox - I'm not sure that I'd be able to do something like that!
