The latest research has shown that it's the weight loss itself that helps the PCOS symptoms, and not the type of foods you eat to lose it.
Some of you may be familiar with the large study Penn State has been conducting on PCOS. Some of the results were published earlier this year. This is from an article in the Washington Post in April of this year:
Quote:
Both high-protein, low-carb and high-carb, lower-protein diets have been
tested in overweight women with PCOS; a recent study by researchers at
Penn State tied both diets to weight loss as well as improved menstrual
regularity, lipid profiles and insulin resistance in obese women with PCOS.
Physical activity may be even more important than dietary changes, Nestler
says, citing research findings that regular exercise can improve the body's
ability to regulate insulin. For this reason, physicians generally recommend
that their PCOS patients exercise for 30 to 60 minutes a day, five times
a week, which also may facilitate weight loss.
