PCOS diet tips?

Question

So I’ve heard that a change in diet can help with managing PCOS but I have absolutely no clue where to start! My current diet is I basically eat whatever I want but my portion sizes are small and I try my best to not have to much sugar (but we all know that goes out the window when the period happens😂😂) I love meat so being a vegetarian is out of the question lol. Help?!

Answer

I stick to clean eating recipes & I cut out sugar, dairy, nightshades & other inflammatory foods as I also have insulin resistance 
This might help

Answer

I have been eating low carb for about a month. Also, ginger tea is a great anti inflammatory game changer for me! Down 10 pounds and just started my first period in over 6 months.

Answer

I’ve been doing Keto. It’s basically low carb, I’m not super strict with it, but I usually eat less than 40 g of carbs a day. I also take an Ovasitol supplement. I’ve lost 17 pounds since being diagnosed December 2017!

Answer

I'm in week 3 of a low to no-sugar diet. ovulated earlier than expected (if opk is accurate/waiting for BBT to confirm).  my skin has gotten really bad, but it's starting to clear up I think it was just a reaction to the shock of not having ice cream every night. I know it doesn't all work this quickly but I'm sincerely hoping that I actually ovulated this month and got the timing right, and we'll be able to test in a little under two weeks to see how we did!  no sugar means to watch out for white Foods like bread and rice and pasta. watch intake of sugar from fruits.  I feel like I've read a million articles, but I keep Googling to find out more!

Answer

I'm just now getting into diet changes.. I stopped birth control two weeks ago after being on it for 11 years (diagnosed when I was 16). Not sure if I ovulated, but I'm hoping I did!
I'm cutting out processed sugars and things like white rice/white bread, as I read that our bodies process that as if it were sugar. I'm trying to cut carbs in general but keep up my fiber. Trying to eat organic as much as possible too (antibiotics and pesticides can't be good for hormone levels). As I right this, I guess I'm following a diabetic diet? Which makes sense.. Since PCOS is linked to insulin resistance.
The hardest one for me has been cutting back on caffeine. I read a study from the NIH about how caffeine, in certain races, can decrease or increase estrogen levels. For me, when I was diagnosed, I had low estrogen and high testosterone. According to the study, caffeine could potentially decrease estrogen in Caucasian women. So less coffee for me ☹️
