    NPP E2. Key Strategies to Balance Weight with PCOS

    Summary In this episode, Dr. Samina Mitha discusses the relationship between weight gain and food in women with PCOS. The main cause of weight gain in PCOS is insulin resistance, which occurs when the cells become resistant to glucose and insulin. To prevent insulin resistance, it is important to eat meals that contain protein and healthy fats, as these macronutrients do not spike insulin levels. Complex carbohydrates should be chosen over simple carbohydrates to prevent rapid glucose spikes. Intermittent fasting can also be beneficial in reducing insulin levels and promoting weight loss. Overall, a balanced diet with the right macronutrient composition is key to managing weight gain in PCOS.
