Book Description
If you're like most women with polycystic ovary syndrome, you know all too well how difficult and distressing this disease is. You know how little control you seem to have over your appearance, your weight, your appetite, your fertility and sexuality, your energy, and how you feel about yourself.
If you're like most women with polycystic ovary syndrome, you know all too well how difficult and distressing this disease is. You know how little control you seem to have over your appearance, your weight, your appetite, your fertility and sexuality, your energy, and how you feel about yourself.
You know that doctors have little to offer in terms of effective long-term treatment. You're painfully aware that your spouse, relatives, friends and co-workers may not fully understand what you are going through.
Even more seriously, you know that you have a significantly greater risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. And sadly, uncontrolled PCOS may increase the risk of PCOS in your unborn daughter.
With the cards seemingly stacked against you, what can you possibly do?
Your best course of action is to take full responsibility for your own health. There are three very basic but crucial things you can do right now to reduce your PCOS symptoms and improve your health: (1) improve the quality and composition of your diet; (2) increase your exercise and physical activity; and (3) effectively manage chronic stress in your life.
The authors believe that healthy food and a healthy lifestyle are your best and most effective long-term medicine. Using the fundamental skills described in this book will improve all aspects of your well-being, without the undesirable side effects of drugs. Based on review of hundreds of medical studies and years of clinical experience, the authors know that natural methods such as diet, exercise and stress management have a long term favorable impact on PCOS and its symptoms.
This book is the one resource that gives you a big advantage in naturally gaining control over PCOS (including infertility, overweight, acne, hirsutism, hair loss, depression and appetite disorders).
The heart of the book is a comprehensive self-help diet plan specifically for PCOS. You'll also learn insider diet secrets that only researchers know about. For example, the authors explain two different ways to prepare exactly the same meal. One way can make you gain weight while the other way helps you lose weight.
The book includes:
* 528 pages packed with information to help you understand and naturally control PCOS.
* Dietary guidelines for every component of your diet.
* Simple, healthy daily meal plans for a month.
* 150 healthy, tasty recipes for your meal plans.
* Foods you can enjoy without feeling guilty.
* Complete shopping list of approved foods.
* Quick and easy meals for when you're in a hurry.
* Meals the whole family will eat.
* Healthy herbs and spices for the kitchen.
* Sauces, dressings and spreads that are quick and healthy.
* What to eat in restaurants, at the office, at parties, when traveling or living on campus.
* Discussion of exercise and stress management.
* Explanation of the possible causes of PCOS.
* And more.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking birth control pills or drugs alone will restore your health and make your PCOS go permanently away. The truth is, you are dealing with a complex, frustrating disorder that is very difficult to treat and has serious implications for your future health.
Ask yourself two important questions:
1. What if you had at your fingertips a physician with over 15 years experience in treating women's health problems such as PCOS...and who was willing to share her clinical experience and knowledge to peel back the secrets about PCOS?
2. And who would take the time to share with you a diet and lifestyle proven by medical research to substantially reduce the physical and emotional distress of PCOS?
Can you imagine how that clinical expertise -- supported by medical research and organized into an easy-to-follow plan -- could empower you to regain a sense of control over this poorly understood syndrome?
And to restore a normal cycle, be able to have a baby, lose weight in a healthy way, reduce acne and hair problems, have more energy, and protect yourself from future diabetes and heart problems?
If you're searching for additional ways to win your battle with PCOS, this book will serve you well. The author's program does require a commitment on your part -- as does anything truly worth doing. But improved health, better control of PCOS symptoms and increased fertility will be your reward.
