How Can Body Weight Be Reduced While Suffering From PCOS?

I have been taking orlistat now for 3 weeks and I lost 5lbs in total the first 2 weeks which I was pleased with but this week I have put 3lb on even though I now stick to an 1800 calorie diet (I weight 17st 5lb) and I try to burn off around 500 calories a day by walking or cycling. I suffer from PCOS so maybe it s the diet I m using that s not working,do you have any advice?

Hi,

You can avoid oily and fat-rich foods. Do routine physical exercises like swimming.

Diabetes has to be controlled and Metformin has to be started if required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
