    Ladies with PCOS often have insulin resistance to go with it. The commonly recognized best diet for treating both is eating reduced carbs. There are tons of posts on PCOS here. Go to the starting page of a forum and do a search for them.

    There are also several PCOS groups here. Go to groups (button next to message boards above) and type it in.

    I have lost a heck of a lot of weight with PCOS without cutting out carbs. Just cutting down refined carbs, but every person can benefit from doing that. PCOS is a condition that manifests itself in so many ways, what works for someone else may not work for you. So work from the least restrictive diets down to the most restrictive ones... stop at whichever diet makes you feel good and satisfies you best.

    Maintain a deficit and exercise, hard. Don't overlook the weight room, get in there and throw some plates around.

    Weight loss is 80% food and 20% exercise.

    Weight loss is 80% food and 20% exercise.

    70/30 is the usual response.

    But the style of exercise is not unimportant. Particularly for women with PCOS. We're at greater risk of CVD and osteoporosis, so load-bearing exercises that strengthen the muscles (incl. the heart) and therefore the joints, and impact on bone density are a must.

    Being generally active is also a good thing. It ultimately determines how much you need to restrict your dietary intake.
