For years, I felt stuck—trapped in a cycle of fatigue, bloating, weight gain, and hormone chaos. PCOS was running the show, and I didn’t know where to turn. But once I stopped dieting and started nourishing, everything shifted. I lost 35 pounds the healthy way, balanced my hormones naturally, and stabilized my blood sugar without restriction or deprivation. In this post, I’m sharing exactly how I did it—with real food, a lot of fiber, and a whole new mindset around healing. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again… this one’s for you.

For years, I believed I was doing everything right when it came to “healthy eating.”
Egg whites, grilled chicken, low-fat dairy, protein bars, protein shakes… I was constantly trying to hit my daily protein target, thinking it would help me stay lean, energized, and in control of my body.

And honestly, I get why.
We’ve been told over and over again—by diet culture, fitness trends, and even some health pros—that more protein equals more success. But what if that high-protein path is quietly working against us?

Because it was for me.
