The essence of eating healthy with PCOS is to consume food in its most natural state. This lifestyle approach to eating is very beneficial to women with PCOS. Processed and refined foods wreak havoc with hormone levels. So clean eating will actually help you begin to balance your hormones. As insulin, cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, and thyroid become more in balance PCOS symptoms will be alleviated.
1. Avoid processed and refined foods such as white flour, sugar, breads & pasta. Instead eat whole gluten-free grains like oatmeal, brown rice, millet, amaranth and quinoa.
2. Drink two liters of purified water per day. You can flavor your water with fresh citrus, cucumber, mint or berries
3. Avoid refined sugar, high-fructose corn-syrup, artificial sweeteners, artificial sweeteners and colors, MSG, trans-fats and high saturated fat.
4. Eat packaged foods with 5 or less all- natural ingredients. Any product with a long ingredient list is generally usually highly processed.
5. Make alcohol an occasional indulgence – not an everyday occurrence. A glass of red wine is fine once and a while. But after a glass the benefits are reversed.
6. Eat every 3-4 hours.
7. Always combine a lean protein and complex carb at every meal/snack.
8. Pack and stash. Take your food with you. Make sure you have snacks packed with you so you have healthy choices wherever you go.

How i got a cure for PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
ReplyDeleteI actually promised myself that i will do this because i never in life thought i would be cured of PCOS because my gynecologist told me there was no cure and because of this i could not take in and get pregnant. I had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) for 7 years and this was a big pain to me and my husband due to the downcast we felt for not having a child. I experienced irregular periods or no periods at all sometimes, heavy periods, i gained weight (fat). I seeked a cure from one doctor to the other used androgen, clomiphene, metformin and even travelled to different states to see other doctors to no avail. My husband got to know about Dr. ALeta via a testimony he read on the internet on how a woman got a cure and he contacted her with the contact she left. I got the herbal medication and used it for the speculated 3 months that was all i have a son who is just 8 months old. Do not give up just contact her on (aletedwin@gmail.com) on how to get the herbal medication. Thanks and i wish you get cured soon too.
