Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

People with PCOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome) usually are obese or overweight. However, there are lean people with PCOS also.

People with PCOS will usually have insulin resistance.

So, try to avoid sugary foods and keep a check on your weight and follow a regular exercise routine. This will help to cure the disease also.

  • Take good quality carbohydrates with whole grain meals.
  • Avoid fats and bakery products.
  • You can take lean meat, skinless chicken.
  • Avoid juices and take lots of fruits and salads.

Hope it helps. Consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online for further help --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/obstetrician-and-gynaecologist
