Why weight loss can help PCOS
'Reducing your weight is crucial. You can manage the symptoms and even reverse PCOS by changing your diet, to eat less carbohydrate and also smaller, more frequent meals. Try to eat a little protein with each meal, too. The good news about having slightly higher levels of testosterone, is that it means the body responds well to exercise and will thank you for your improved physique.'
