    I have PCOS as well, I believe the best solution is clean eating and exercise but it's hard to stick with when its not been your lifestyle. I definitely need to work on this big time!

    I have heard that the South Beach Diet is great for women with PCOS. It's basically low carb, low sugar for the first two weeks. Then you gradually introduce them back into your diet until you figure out how much of it works with your body. I believe the foods must be low on the glycemix index to manage the insulin resistance.

    I agree with the above--keep your diet as clean and unprocessed as possible. Lower carb seems to have done the trick with me, but I do still eat carbs. Cardio is good too :)

    Feel free to add me :)
