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?
