Does Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome create added difficulty when attempting to lose weight?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) does not by itself cause added difficulty losing weight. Insulin resistance (IR) causes PCOS. Insulin resistance makes it harder to lose weight, because a high insulin level: 1. Makes every bit of sugar from the carbohydrates you eat go into the cells of your body. 2. Stimulates your appetite. For an excellent discussion of PCOS and its relationship to insulin resistance, see the "Pathogenesis" portion of the following web page:
