Balance hormones: Pcos patients can have a hearty appetite but it is worse when your Insulin levels are high. Using metformin can help, having your hormones balanced with birth control, natural Progesterone helps, vitex is an herb that is worth trying. If severe weight issues, appetite suppressants can help.

Nutritional Rx: Pcos is caused by high estrogen (e2)combined with high Insulin which then transforms e2 into testosterone. Excess carbs can elevate both Insulin (via stimulation of pancreas) and e2 (via competitive inhibition of glucoronidase enzyme) a low carb diet reduces both Insulin & e2 thus positively impacting this metabolic disease. Avoid fried foods, veg oils, soy, sugar, hfcs, excess carbs.
