A lot of those "fat chicks" have a real medical condition called PCOS which causes infertility and guess which diet they use to get pregnant. Yep, that's right they start on Atkins and most women who had no periods or were not ovulating get regulated usually within the first month. I know of quite a few women who got pregnant after a few months of Atkins. These are women who spent thousands and thousands of dollars on infertility drugs.

I agree with you. Polycystic Ovary disease......is a bad deal but the weight loss is key to fertility.

It isn't just the weight loss that is the key factor in women with PCOS getting pregnant following the low carb diets. There are thin women with PCOS too. The key is getting the insulin resistance under control. Not every overweight woman who gets pregnant while following a LC diet loses that much weight.
