Have you got polycystic ovary syndrome? Are you struggling to lose weight? Are you worried that with PCOS you are not going to be able to lose weight? Hi, my name is Deenaz, and in this video I I will be busting a lot of myths and misconceptions about weight loss and PCOS. A lot of young girls have come to me in the past and said that they have PCOD and that, that because of PCOD they are actually, they have gained that weight and that they have problems with their periods. The periods are not regular and the body is becoming bloated and it just doesn't feel right. A lot of you are under the impression that you are not losing weight because you have PCOD. Well, I want you to know that I'm not a doctor, but through the years of experience, PCOD is nothing but a lifestyle problem. You get PCOD because of the kind of lifestyle that you lead. That lifestyle creates, leads to excess body weight, and in turn is linked with PCOD. So it's really and truly a vicious cycle. Well, if you're under the impression that if you have PCOD you can't lose weight, that is a mind programming that you have. It's nothing to do with PCOD. Even if you have PCOD, even if you have polycystic ovary syndrome, you will be able to lose weight. I can assure you that. There are a few things, there are a few tips that I'd like to share in this video where I will be talking to you about what are the things that you need to do to help you to lose weight.

When you move your body vigorously, it will help you to burn fat at a faster rate because your metabolic rate is a little slow because your hormones are playing up. But when you start doing very vigorous activity your metabolism will go up and you will go into that fat burning zone. The second and the only other thing that you really need to take care is to eat the right foods. When you start eating whole grains and fruits and vegetables, and in every video of mine I keep asking you to do it, whether you do it or not, I do not know, but I cannot emphasize on the fact that Your weight gain is not linked with your PCOD.

And if you have observed, and if you start listening to what I'm telling you to do, and you actually start doing these things, that will help you to get your periods regularly.
