What is PCOS Diet (Nutrition for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition in women of reproductive age; it is recognised by irregular or infrequent periods, acne, excess hair growth and hair thinning due to excess male hormones, and many small follicles seen on ultrasound. The diagnosis is made by an obstetrician-gynaecologist or endocrinologist. A large proportion of women with PCOS also have insulin resistance, which can worsen the hormonal imbalance that disrupts ovulation. This is where the goals of nutrition counselling come from: in overweight women, losing even 5–10 per cent of body weight can improve periods and ovulation in some. In normal-weight (lean) PCOS, however, weight loss is not the aim; meal routine, the balance of fibre and protein, and movement take priority. Scientifically, no single “PCOS diet” has been found to be superior; Mediterranean-style and low glycaemic load eating patterns are often recommended. Gluten-free or dairy-free diets have not been shown to have a specific benefit for PCOS. Although studies on some supplements are promising, the evidence is limited and they should not be used without talking to the doctor.
