Let’s Chat About PCOS: How Nutrition Can Help You Feel Amazing

Hey lovely,
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’ve been on the PCOS rollercoaster. Maybe you’ve tried every diet under the sun, read all the tips, and still feel like nothing works. I see you. PCOS is tough, and it can make food feel like the enemy. But let me tell you something: managing PCOS isn’t about restriction or trying to “fix” your body. It’s about working with your body to feel good and manage your symptoms.

So, let’s chat about how a weight-neutral, non-diet approach to nutrition can support your health without any of the pressure or guilt.

What Is Low GI Eating for PCOS?

Low GI (glycaemic index) eating focuses on foods that help stabilise blood sugar levels, which is key for managing insulin resistance, a major PCOS symptom. Unlike restrictive diets, this approach is flexible and sustainable, making it easier to stick to while reducing cravings and fatigue.

How a Dietitian Can Help You Manage PCOS Symptoms

1. Cravings and Insulin Resistance: Balanced meals with protein, fibre, and healthy fats can reduce blood sugar spikes and crashes.

2. Skin and Hair Support: Anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish and nuts can help manage acne and hair thinning caused by high androgens.

3. Hormonal Balance and Ovulation: Foods rich in healthy fats and zinc can support regular cycles and ease PMS.

4. Gut Health: Probiotic and fibre-rich foods can reduce bloating and IBS-like symptoms common in PCOS.

5. Mental Health and Energy: Omega-3-rich foods and low GI meals can stabilise mood and boost energy
