Diet is a major struggle in this carbohydrate saturated society that we live in. Making the decision to change from one way of eating to another is very difficult. It is important to have a support system of some sort in place while making this transition. If diagnosed with PCOS, it is important to see a doctor regularly and ask about the possibility of taking Glucophage to assist with insulin resistance. Many physicians have found that the accountability of regular appointments as well as this medicine has helped many make the transition successfully. Two great online resources to assist in this lifestlye change are Fit Day and the Glycemic Index. Fit Day allows each person to track the amount of food eaten in a day. The Glycemic Index helps to shows the foods that are beneficial to eat versus those that are not. The most important thing to remember is to find what makes you the best you!
Exercise
is very important for cardiovascular health, muscle tone, and overall
well being. We recommend the 10,000-step program, which has been shown
to be very effective for people with a busy lifestyle. What is
important to realize is that exercise is not enough for women with
PCOS. Treating the underlying physiologic condition of insulin
resistance with medication, nutrition, and exercise has been shown to
be most effective.
