Great Diet Information
~ Written on Oct 4, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

This book is excellent for diet management of PCOS, the seven steps are so useful and have helped me lose over 19 pounds in 3 months. The sample grocery list is very helpful as are the recipes. Very much recommend!

Didn't work for me.

I've had PCOS for 23 years and have fought weight gain for most of them. The only time my body responded positively to any diet was on the Carbohydrate Addict's diet for Life. The only thing is, it's really hard to stay on it. I was at a healthy weight when I quit smoking, and figured I would try the Low G.I. for PCOS book for a new way of eating. I gained 20 lbs. in 6 months. I couldn't control the carb intake. Low G.I. or not, this diet made me crave more carbs, which in turn makes my hormones go crazy and makes me gain weight, esp. in my abdomen. I hope it works for other women with PCOS, but sadly, I did not get my money's worth from this book.

Very informative. Easy to understand.

I don't know a lot of medical terms, nor do I want to, but this book helped me to understand what my body is doing. If you are diagnosed with PCOS, this is a MUST read!!

Informative but repetitive

This book was a good overview of why a Low GI diet is so important to those suffering from PCOS. It went into a lot of detail regarding the way our bodies process things differently. It was dry, and I thought could have used more recipes, but I'd recommend it as a resource.

Not very helpful

As a PCOS sufferer, I've done lots of research since being diagnosed. This book may be a great starting point for people who have yet to do any research, but for those have, you will not receive any new information. The recipes are nice, but if I wanted recipes I would have bought a cook book! Not worth the money in my opinion.
