Low carbing is the last thing it's about - in fact, Colette Harris is against it as it's unhealthy for anyone, let alone someone with PCOS, to cut out or drastically reduce an entire food group. She doesn't appear to have time for it at all. She's more charitable about diets like the Zone and the IR Diet would definitely be OK, but basically it's about using holistic remedies, organic food, etc. For those of us in the UK, it's easy to follow as organic food is available in major supermarkets, and herbal remedies on every high street. It may be harder for people abroad.
I used this book in conjunction with others to deal with my PCOS and found it was fantastic. But I was already a convert to alternative therapies and organic eating anyway!
