Vitaline PCOS

Hello there,

I’m Norah Elizabeth Lane, Vitaline’s PCOS Diet Adviser, and I want to welcome all struggling PCOS sufferers living in the United States to my website.

How I can help you?
In 1999, I researched PCOS, to find the best diets to help sufferers. The doctors in the research programme all confirmed that PCOS sufferers have a slow metabolic rate and this is why standard diets do not work long term. You need personal metabolic rate diets to suit your lifestyle, in order to achieve success. I worked with hundreds of PCOS volunteers to produce these metabolic rate diets and my success rate both in the UK and the USA is very high.

Whether you wish to lose weight to improve your chances of fertility or to reduce your unpleasant PCOS symptoms, my personal diet plans can help. One-to-one motivation and support, from your PCOS diet adviser is also provided to ensure your success. Because the diets are healthy foods, that can be purchased locally, you will not be hungry or bored.

Our Successes
Below we have given just a small sample of the hundreds of success stories we now have. Read about Sasha, who suffered from PCOS and finally became pregnant after 13 years of trying and how daughter Libby became Vitaline's first PCOS baby. Jamie is from Hawaii and son Riley became our first USA PCOS baby and then there was Reese who became the second USA PCOS baby not long after. You can read their stories below

At Vitaline, we understand PCOS sufferers need lots of motivation and encouragement, so we will have a Support Group, just for you. Once you join our website course, you can enrol on the support group free and have contact with hundreds of women with the same symptoms as yourself.

I do hope you will enroll and allow us to help you. You can also email any questions to enquiries@vitaline-slimming.com

Why not enrol today; you have nothing to lose but weight.

Norah Elizabeth Lane.

 

Sasha, who got the ball rolling all those years ago!

Hi All

My name is Sasha, I am 30 years old, and have been happily married to Andy for the last 8 years. We have been together since I was 17.

This is my story, sorry it is long!

It started when I was 15 yrs old and was having a period every six weeks. My mum was a bit concerned as she had never experienced anything like that before herself or in my family and she took me to see our local Doctor.

"Well everybody, it has happened. I can't believe it, but I am 35 weeks pregnant and my baby is expected on the 8 May, 2002. Yes it's true, I am actually having a baby, naturally. How did it happen?

Well, I believe, it's all thanks to Vitaline. As you all know, I have struggled with my weight for years. I have suffered with PCOS for years and have been trying for 13 years to have a baby. I have had failed attempts at IVF. I have tried every diet on the market, but I had not tried Vitaline.

When I heard about Vitaline, I was desperate to lose weight. My doctor advised that if I lost weight, I could go on IVF once again. My PCOS was severe and as you know from my story, I have suffered, depression, mood swings, body and facial hair; in fact, all the problems related to PCOS.

I really wanted to get healthy in order to give myself the best possible chance of a pregnancy. I enrolled at Vitaline and they gave me a metabolic rate assessment. This was to find out what was the best type of diet to help me. I had my own personal plan prepared, which was so different than anything I had tried before. I was never hungry. The food was normal food and I was given lots of tips and recipes on how to get the best results from my plan. I learned about the type of food I needed to eat because of the various medications I had taken in the past. I was taught about the different vitamins my body needed to give me stamina and successful weight losses, and which food provided these vitamins. My diet was all set out in meals, so all I needed to do was follow my personal plan. I lost weight every week. My depression lifted, and I started to feel healthier as I became slimmer.

Sasha

Then it happened. I discovered I was pregnant. I could not believe it. My doctor was delighted because I was pregnant naturally. I no longer needed the IVF programme. I wanted to wait until I passed the first 12 weeks before I announced my pregnancy. I have seen my scan. Everything is fine and I honestly believe that because I am eating correctly, on a diet that suited me perfectly, got the counselling that I needed to help build my self-esteem, and confidence, that I have succeeded and the pregnancy has happened. I am delighted and am looking forward to May 8, 2002 when my baby is due. If I can succeed, after 13 years of trying unsuccessful methods, I am sure that Vitaline can help you. It worked for me. I now know a lot more about nutrition and what is necessary to keep healthy. Vitaline is all about teaching you how to look after yourself by eating a healthy diet, personally balanced to suit your individual needs. If I can succeed, so can you.

If you want to know more, why not email help@pcos-vitaline.com and I know they will help because they really do care about helping everybody to lose weight healthily and without gimmicks. I just wish I had found Vitaline 13 years' ago.

Get in touch now, you will be glad that you did"


Riley - our 1st US Vitaline baby

Riley

Jamie McLain- Hawaii - gave birth to the FIRST USA Vitaline PCOS baby

Here is Jamie’s Story to inspire you.

From the age of 13, I have suffered with irregular and immensely painful periods. They were often so excruciating that my mother used to give me Nyquil. In addition, I developed unusual hair growth on my stomach and toes. I only discovered that I had PCOS when my friend read a magazine article that listed PCOS symptoms. My husband is an army officer who is based in Honolulu, and we decided to try for our first baby very quickly, because of PCOS. I managed to get pregnant after 6 months so didn’t think to bring up the subject of PCOS with my doctor. After my daughter was born, I gained a significant amount of weight which I was unable to lose despite trying various diets and exercise programmes. The weight was going up very regularly every week and I was getting more depressed.

We decided to try for another baby when my daughter was just four weeks old but a year later nothing had happened. The doctor finally agreed that I had PCOS and referred me to a fertility expert for treatment. Throughout the treatment I had to give blood at various times throughout my period to analyse my cycle. Frustrated at the slow pace of the consultations and results, I began to read up on my condition on the internet and stumbled across the Vitaline website.

By following the diet tips and taking advice from the Vitaline staff, I went from a size 11 to a size 8 (and to my delight a size 6 around my waist!). I lost a total of 20lbs and was then due to start taking the drug Clomid, which is used by doctors to stimulate ovulation.

Just before I was due to begin the treatment, I was rushed to the doctors as they suspected that three of my ovarian cysts had burst. On carrying out the ultrasound, they found that not only was everything doing just fine, I was also in the very early stages of pregnancy. I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy, Riley, weighing 6lbs 10oz on the 22 May, 2006. He is gorgeous. When I hold Riley in my arms, I know that it was the help of the Vitaline PCOS Healthy Eating Weight Loss Plan, that made this happen so quickly.

I found the diet very easy, because it is all real food, but one thing I did learn is that PCOS women have a very slow metabolic rate and this is what made me gain the weight. I now know how to eat healthily and will not put the weight on again.

The Vitaline Plan worked for me and it can work for you. I was told by Vitaline, that Riley was the very first USA baby, but there have been over 100 Vitaline PCOS, since the course started in 200l.

You will be reading more about my success story in the USA press very soon, because I want every PCOS women to know that help is available through the Vitaline PCOS Internet course.

Thank you and God bless you all at Vitaline.

Jamie McLain.

 

Reese - Our 2nd US Vitaline Baby

Jill’s initial email to Vitaline.

HELLO EVERYONE - I JUST HEARD BACK FROM MY DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND MY BLOOD TEST WAS POSITIVE!!!!

I am so happy but I'm also scared. I had a miscarriage once before, but that was before losing the weight and the blood test then showed hcg results that were less than optimal. This time they say that the results are solidly within the positive range. But it is still very early...but I thought that if I was going to tell anyone this early it should be you all. :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU NORAH
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VITALINE
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SUPPORT GROUP

I absolutely couldn't be happier...I think I'm going to cry.

Love, Jill.


And Jill's full story:

I live with my partner of ten years Kelly and our adopted two year old daughter Shannon. I have always longed to carry my own child and because of my circumstances had attempted fertility treatment by means of sperm donation. The treatments continuously failed and resulted in the consultants discovering I suffered from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Kelly and I were told that chances of conceiving were near impossible because of the cysts caused by the condition. Not wanting to give up, I trawled the internet looking for any information I could find on PCOS and any possible treatments that would enable me to attempt sperm donation again.

It was then that I discovered the Vitaline website. I joined as a member and began to follow the specific diet, following all the hints and tips and getting support from other Vitaline members from around the world. After following the diet for a few months, I lost an amazing 21lbs and my doctor was astounded at my blood sugar levels and sheer vitality. On attending my routine ultrasound appointment to assess my PCOS condition, the consultant discovered that I was expecting a baby. My son Reese was born on July 12th weighing 8lbs 5oz, and 19” long. My life is now complete.
He is a beautiful, healthy baby, with piles of hair, see his picture.

Thank you to the Vitaline Team, who have told me that Reese is the USA Vitaline No. 2 baby to be born.

God bless.

Jill Fenske
