Hi there –

My swordplay classmate Laura referred me to this site and I want to thank you for taking the trouble to do the research and put it up in an accessible way.

I’m putting together a plan for myself based on your writing and was wondering — would you be willing to have a look over it once I’m done and let me know what you think of it? It’s always nice to have a second opinion, and I really don’t trust the people at the gym I go to to look at it and not try to sell me something.

Please let me know if this is all right for you.

Thank you!

Buff, can you outline here how you are training now? Let’s see if we can get things moving for you. I am indeed familiar with PCOS, and you are definitely on the right track with the low carb diet.

Hi MariAnne I stumbled across your site while doing some research. Here is my dilemma I’m a currently a student in the States studying sports nutrition. When I was a teen I was diagnosed with PCOS (don’t know if your familiar with this syndrome). It affects your hormones and insulin levels making it hard to lose weight. I’ve dropped a significant amount of weight over the years and now have 25 I need to lose. I had a body comp. done and my lean mass was 109lbs, my body fat was 28%, and it said I needed to drop 14lbs of that fat. My diet is clean I’ve just started doing a low carb diet where my carb grams average around 78 or so from veggies and fruits. I obsess about this constantly I do think I workout too much but I’m afraid that if I don’t workout for two hours or more a day I won’t lose. I lift heavy 3 to 4 days a week and cycle,run and use the cardio equipment in the gym. I’m getting ready to start Brazilian jujitsu. I would love to obtain a physique like yours I’m incredibly depressed I cry everyday. I was wondering if possibly you could take me under your wing and help me with diet and training. I would be very much obliged I thank you for your time.

Hey Marianne,

Great article, the one on eating less and moving more. Like we were talking about earlier today – this info has to get out.

Keep up the good work. Good meeting you today.

Keep in touch.
