Lean PCOS and hunger??
Are there any connections between lean PCOS and being overly hungry? I am a pretty relatively healthy weight for my height and had recently been taken off of my Dianette birth control because of concern over its side effects and have had about 8/9 weeks off of hormones completely. I’ve just been put onto 50mg of Spironolactone four days ago (not particularly feeling any proper effects yet).
Since i’ve been off the hormones I SWEAR i’ve been significantly more hungry and some days all I can think about is food?! I’m usually not one to eat much in big portions or much too quickly but I can’t get enough of some foods at the moment. I’ve noticed it’s been somewhat connected with my monthly cycle like the week before my period i’m so unbelievably hungry and hangry too and then once my period starts i’m not hungry and sometimes I go most of the day without eating anything or very little. Is this a lean PCOS thing? I’ve only been recently diagnosed so I’m still getting used to understanding things about it!!
Any help/info/tips on how to cope with this insane hunger and the variation in hunger levels would be appreciated!!
