Losing weight with PCOS can be challenging due to insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances, but with the right approach, it’s absolutely possible! Here are 10 weight loss tips specifically for PCOS:

Prioritise a High-Protein, Low-Glycemic Diet
   Focus on lean proteins (chicken, fish, tofu, eggs) to stabilise blood sugar and keep you full.  
   Choose Low-GI carbs (quinoa, sweet potatoes, leafy greens) over refined carbs.  

Reduce Sugar & Processed Foods 
  Minimise sugary snacks, white bread, pasta, and processed foods to prevent insulin spikes 
  Opt for natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit instead of refined sugar.  

Strength Training Over Cardio 
  Lifting weights and resistance training help improve insulin sensitivity and boost metabolism.  
  Combine with low-impact cardio (walking, swimming, cycling) for best results.  

Practice Intermittent Fasting (IF) If It Works for You  
  Some women with PCOS find that fasting for 12-16 hours helps regulate insulin.  
  Listen to your body if it causes stress or hormonal imbalances, don’t force it.  

Eat Healthy Fats
  Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil help balance hormones and reduce cravings.
  Avoid unhealthy trans fats found in fried and processed foods.  

Get Enough Fibre 
  Fibre slows digestion and prevents insulin spikes, making weight loss easier.  
  Great sources: flaxseeds, chia seeds, berries, and leafy greens.  

Balance Your Meals with the “PFF” Rule 
  Every meal should include Protein, Fat, and Fibre to keep blood sugar steady.  
  Example: Grilled salmon (protein) + avocado (fat) + spinach salad (fibre).  

Manage Stress Levels  
  High stress = High cortisol = More belly fat storage.  
  Try meditation, journaling, yoga, or deep breathing to reduce stress.  

 Get Enough Sleep
  Poor sleep affects hormones that control hunger and fat storage.  
  Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to support weight loss.  

 10. Consider Supplements That Support Weight Loss  
  Inositol: Helps regulate insulin and improves ovulation.  
  Berberine: Natural alternative to Metformin for insulin resistance.  
  Omega-3s  Reduce inflammation and balance hormones.  

Bonus Tip: Track Progress Without Just Focusing on the Scale 
PCOS weight loss can be slow, so track measurements, how clothes fit, and energy levels instead of only using the scale.
