Can lowcarb/eating really healthy & exercise a lot help also for lean pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely!: Even women with "lean pcos" are usually producing too much insulin. Excess Insulin is one of the causes of their excess body hair, as well as preventing regular menstrual cycles and decreasing fertility. Anything that lowers Insulin levels ( avoiding refined sugars, eating only small quantities of whole grains, or regular exercise) can improve symptoms of pcos.
