Over the past year I've been diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor recommended losing weight to help regulate my period. We have a family history and my aunts say their pcos has become more manageable after eating less carbohydrates, so I am considering changing my diet. Is there any actual evidence that doing that or losing weight can help with pcos? I'm 15, so I want to try and manage this early on and avoid going on birth control if I can, so if anyone has any info it'd be appreciated.

All weight talk is harmful to minors so I’m already not super happy about how your doctor is handling this. Food restriction, even just deliberately cutting sugar out, can lead to eating disorders in anyone and is very risky in children and adolescents. 

PCOS is not caused by weight, weight is caused by PCOS. It is almost impossible to lose weight and keep it off, even for people without a disorder that causes weight gain. A lot of us find we suddenly gain weight while keeping consistent eating and exercise habits constant. This is due to hormonal changes and insulin resistance from PCOS. 

There aren’t a ton of HAES/intuitive eating resources out there, but I did find this page through @heavyweighthearthttp://www.laurathomasphd.co.uk/podcast/pcos/

You can also read through @bigfatscience‘s PCOS tag.  They have a lot of links, including links to scientific studies there. 

I’m not sure why you want to avoid birth control, but it and eventually metformin have really helped me for the past 20+ years. I realize these medicines aren’t for everyone and might be unaffordable for a lot of people, but the evidence shows these are good treatments.

Codsworth is somewhat of an urban legend about the place; a typical robot-gone-mad-and-murderous deal. He doesn’t mind however, because it’s pretty much true. He knows damn well that he wasn’t programmed to burn people alive, but he knows damn well that they deserved it anyway, so he’s fine with the campfire horror stories raiders tell each other about fire and buzz saws. Keeps them away from the settlements he helps out at anyways.

I saw this in the axolotl tag: make sure you do in depth research! A lot of people who mistreat axolotls do so by mistake; from assuming that they'll be fine with a typical fish tank setup and things like that. There are a lot of misconceptions people assume are okay; so don't go by what other people's setups are like and double check everything. But they are fun little guys and as long as you given em proper care they can live quite long :-)

Thank you! You are the kind of person I was hoping to attract with that tag haha. The friend I’m taking them from has had them for at least a couple years (I’ll find out how old they are from him) and they seem to be doing well, but I’ve been reading up on them as well. If you have any good resources that aren’t easily findable with a google search please do let me know!

Date a robot who goes CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK when ur taking a romantic walk in the park CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK

I was thinking about robots and skeletons tonight because they both make a clank/jangle noise and I thought "WAIT what is skeleton and robot SMOOCH" and it took me a minute but then I realised. I've been consuming content of the EXACT SAME THING for about 2 years now HOW THE HECKLE DID I FORGET ABOUT T H E B O Y S !!!!!!!!!!

There’s something very entertaining about the idea that when Mettaton and Papyrus smooch, there’s a very distinct clanking sound.

Sans is sat in the living room, minding his own business, and in the distance he can hear the clear noise of metal lips to skeleton teeth hitting each other like there’s no tomorrow.

It’s just “CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK”

Mettaton and Papyrus think it’s the sound of passionate romance.
