What is the Best Diet for Managing PCOS?

Written by Caitlin Johnson


If you are anything like me, when you received your PCOS diagnosis, you had more questions than answers. Many of our appointments start with a recommendation to lose weight(thanks doc!) and a prescription for a diabetes drug(like metformin).

As a dietitian, I know this will not set you off with a great start. It certainly doesn't help address the first questions that will come up after that appointment. "What the heck should I eat?"

Here are a few other questions you may be thinking:

  • Why does diet even matter with PCOS?

  • Shouldn't I just take the diabetes drugs (metformin/glucophage/ozempic/semaglutide) and keep doing what I'm doing?

  • I've tried so many diets in the past, they never work; where do I go from here?
