There are certain myths out there that Dairy &amp; Gluten need to be removed from the diet. This is <b>NOT<\/b> true. Dairy is essential for calcium and bone health which can be detrimental for long term female health. Also Keto is <b>NOT<\/b> the answer. Many advocate this diet but it\u2019s not sustainable so I advise against it in most cases. Read below for some key components of a PCOS-friendly diet. Adding some of these to the diet makes it easier to follow overall:<\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; background-color: var( --e-global-color-49242077 );\"><b>High-fibre foods:<\/b> Fibre is essential for regulating blood sugar levels and promoting healthy digestion.

Exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity, aid in weight management, reduce inflammation, and boost mood and energy levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\">When it comes to exercise for PCOS, finding activities that you enjoy and can sustain long-term is key. Aim for a combination of cardiovascular exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling, and strength training exercises to build lean muscle mass. Both cardio and resistance training are both great for PCOS. Even having a mix of both is very beneficial for insulin resistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\">Try to incorporate exercise into your daily routine, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.

Sarah&#8217;s discovery of the <a href=\"https:\/\/apexnutrition.ie\/our-services\/weight-loss\/\">Apex Nutrition Program<\/a> was a turning point for us. The personalised nutrition plans were a breath of fresh air because they were tailored to address the specific needs of individuals with PCOS.<\/p><p>It was as if someone finally understood what I was going through. The knowledge we gained about nutrient timing, portion control, and the role of macronutrients empowered me to make informed choices. I\u2019ve had poor experience with previous nutrition coaches, but Apex Nutrition is honestly the best nutritionist in Ireland.<\/p><p>I could ask questions, they even fine-tuned our meal plans, and gave the support I needed on this journey. But what made all the difference was the supportive community. Sharing our ups and downs with others who faced similar challenges was incredibly motivating. Alongside our nutrition plans, I embraced regular exercise, which not only helped me lose weight but also improved my overall health. The Apex Nutrition Program gave me the tools and the support I needed to conquer our PCOS and weight issues.<\/p><p>Now, we&#8217;re healthier, happier, and living life to the
