My gynaecologist emphasized a low glycemic index diet and consistent exercise for PCOS. She also mentioned managing insulin resistance and stress. It's a holistic approach, not just calorie counting, you know?

I track my food intake and activity using an app. For PCOS, keeping blood sugar stable is important. Small, frequent meals with good protein and healthy fats help. Also, strength training is great for insulin sensitivity.

Yaar, PCOS is tricky. Actually, diet is super important, cut down on refined carbs and sugar. And consistent, moderate exercise. Don't go crazy with intense workouts, it can stress the body more.

Beti, focus on good home-cooked food. Try to avoid outside food and too much sugar. My dadi used to say fenugreek water helps, but please check with your doctor before trying anything, especially with PCOS.

Don't rely on random advice. Go to a good endocrinologist or gynaecologist at a reputable hospital. Ask them for a detailed diet and exercise plan tailored for PCOS. They will give proper medical guidance.

PCOS and weight loss feels like trying to run in quicksand, right? 😂 But seriously, small, consistent changes are your best bet. Don't try to crash diet, it just messes things up more. And hydrate like crazy!
