If you have been diagnosed with PCOS, the following diet strategies can help improve symptoms.
Restrict refined breads and sugary foods. Women with PCOS tend to eat significantly larger servings of high-glycemic bread products—those that raise blood sugar and insulin levels quickly—than women without PCOS. Eating large amounts of sugar and bread—both have a high glycemic index—also doubles the risk of diabetes, a common complication of PCOS. It’s just another good reason to avoid these foods.
Eat low glycemic foods. No direct research with PCOS has been done, but diets based on lowglycemic carbohydrates, such as nonstarchy vegetables, legumes, and many fruits, improve insulin sensitivity (or reduce insulin resistance), improve blood triglyceride or good HDL cholesterol levels, and reduce hunger—all important factors for women with PCOS. Many find it easier to lose weight on a lower-glycemic diet, say Walter Futterweit, MD, and George Ryan in A Patient’s Guide to PCOS.
Cut back on your total carb intake and increase protein, such as fish and poultry, in the diet. A highprotein, low-carb diet significantly reduces depression and improves self-esteem—factors important in long-term weight management—in obese women with PCOS, according to a new study in Appetite. A lowglycemic, high-protein diet that is also high in fiber works better for PCOS over the long term than a diet high in carbohydrates, says Christiane Northrup, MD, in her revised Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom.
Weight Watchers…especially the Core Program. Fruits, veggies, lean meat, non-fat dairy and good, whole grain carbs. It’s slow but steady weightloss. I’m down 23 pounds since August without adding exercise!! Plus Core=no weighing or measuring, which is what I like best.
