I am Dr. Suneet Khanna your diet doctor. I am going to talk to you about PCOS management by way of nutrition.

What does a diet doctor do? He looks into aspects of PCOS and how it can be managed nutritionally with a diet.

What is PCOS? Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or a polycystic ovarian disease. It’s a hormonal disorder with irregular periods absence of periods, it could be anything for that matter is associated with hirsutism, hair growth can be associated with pigmentation on the folds of the skin, creases of the skin, it can also manifest as excessive bleeding can manifest generally as obesity.

So, how do you manage that besides the medical treatment which can happen through a gynecologist or a medical specialist looking after obesity is a very important aspect? PCOS generally happens with young girls who sleep late and get up late, miss their meals, have junk food, no activity, so PCOS. so we have to be disciplined in our approach to PCOS.

What do we do? One, start to sleep on time make sure that we have the 30 minutes of regular walk in a park or ground or on a treadmill, making that we time our food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make sure that we don’t sleep till the wee hours of the morning, taking the help of a diet doctor works wonders.

What do we do? We put you onto a low carbs diet that incorporates high proteins, which could be a non-vegetarian protein or vegetarian proteins. Beyond that, we discipline your system of wake up patterns, sleep pattern, activity patterns, diet patterns, make sure that you lose weight, as well as your PCOD, improves. Thank you so much.
