As a PCOS Dietitian, I hear many clients express their frustrations with knowing what to eat to manage their PCOS symptoms. That is why I have created this 7-Day PCOS Diet Plan which is highly based on the Mediterranean diet and the Low Glycemic Index. If you are curious to know more about these two diet modifications for PCOS then contact me here.
When you read over this 7 day PCOS Diet Plan you may notice some similarities day to day, meal to meal. The similarities in each meal are 1) a good source of protein and 2) a good source of fibre. Both are extremely beneficial and important nutrients for managing PCOS symptoms.
Did you know that women need 28g of fibre every day? Eating a diet pack with fruits, vegetables and whole grains is a good way to ensure that you are meeting your daily fibre needs.
