Consume a diet rich in fibrous foods like raw salads, sprouts, whole grain chapatis or brown rice with lots of vegetables. Increase fluid intake with lemon water, coconut water or buttermilk along with plain water. Target wt loss of 4-5 kg every month is usually achievable and medicines won't be required if lifestyle n meal modifications are followed. PCOS requires insulin levels to be controlled for reducing metabolic disorders & that be done through good dietary pattern & ample of exercise.
