If you decide to lose weight without surgery, you'll find many options through the New England Weight Management Institute. Green leafy vegetables: These vegetables have always been known for their role in weight loss diets. In addition to that they are rich in iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamins K, C, E and B. Vitamin B in particular is very useful if you suffer from PCOS. They help improve the function of your thyroid, the fat metabolism, better hormone balance and also improve fertility. The calcium in these veggies help the ovaries develop, potassium helps with Follicle Stimulation Hormone and the other minerals help treat glucose intolerance.
Ramadan isn't thought of as being an opportunity to lose weight because the spiritual aspect is emphasised more than the health side. That being said, fasting during the Holy Month can be good for your health and can lead to moderate weight loss if practiced correctly. When the body is starved of food, it starts to burn fat to make energy. This can lead to weight loss. However, if you fast for too long your body will start breaking down muscle protein for energy, which is unhealthy, but this is unlikely to happen during Ramadan as people break their fast daily, allowing the body's energy to be replenished. This provides a gentle transition from using glucose as the main source of energy, to using fat, and prevents the breakdown of muscle for protein. The use of fat for energy helps weight loss, preserves the muscles and eventually reduces cholesterol levels. But don't eat more than normal when breaking your fast as this can have adverse effects.
