PCOD or Polycystic Ovary Disease is very common these days which indicates a condition wherein women have slightly bulky ovaries (which are the female reproductive organs) and there is nothing to worry about this as effective treatments are available but there is no permanent treatment. Apart from weight gain, you can suffer from irregular menstrual cycles, heart diseases, diabetes caused by higher insulin levels in the body etc. Hard hair on your body and acne are other side effects of this syndrome. Though losing weight if you are suffering from PCOD or PCOS is difficult, it is possible to lose some weight in a few weeks if you incorporate some necessary changes in your lifestyle.
PCOD/PCOS and weight loss It is better to consult your doctor before following any diet as it is possible that you may be suffering from other complications apart from PCOD. A low-glycemic index diet may be best suited for losing weight gained due to PCOD. PCOD and weight loss in weeks in most cases include a diet which is low in carbohydrates. Some guidelines for an ideal diet to lose weight gained due to this syndrome are given below.
It would be ideal to consume only fruits for breakfast and morning snack. But, there is a restriction in the type of fruits you can consume. You should necessarily avoid fruits like grapes, bananas and mangoes. You can include the other fruits in moderation in your breakfast and morning snack. This cleanses your body and increases your body metabolism which in turn burns more calories helping you to lose weight in a few weeks.
It is said that a combination of smart strategies related to diet and exercises would enable considerable weight loss, this method is effective than any other crash diet or any single diet.
One of the key changes you should incorporate in your eating pattern is that you should eat more often. This means you should consume smaller meals often (six to seven times in a day) than the usual three large meals. This helps in gearing up your body metabolism which burns fat and calories and your glucose levels are also maintained steady. There should be a gap of 2-3 hours between your smaller meals.
Completely avoid artificial sweeteners and diet drinks, there is no proof that they help you lose weight instead it is found out that it slows down the process of burning fat. Take very less sugar and avoid fatty or fried foods. Say a big no to fast foods instead include more of healthy sandwiches and salads.
Include the right protein supplements after consulting your doctor. Ideally, supplements which have naturally sourced proteins and minerals are more effective in weight loss. The vitamin supplement you choose should have at least 24-55 mcg of elemental chromium. This elemental chromium helps in maintaining blood sugar at the required level and prevents fluctuations which may result in cravings for sweets; this may be dangerous as you are more prone to diabetes. It would be best if your supplements are rich in vitamin B as it helps in quickening metabolism of carbohydrates. Magnesium in your supplements also helps to a large extent as it manages insulin resistance which is a major problem among women suffering from PCOD or PCOS.
Fats which help in boosting your rate of body metabolism should be included in your diet. For example, fish oil supplements which are rich in omega 3 fatty acids are effective at increasing metabolism. Sesame oil can also be included more.
The right exercises are very much important along with your right diet to help lose weigh gained due to PCOD or PCOS. Strength and resistance exercises which help build muscle in your body would be smarter choices to lose weight the right way. The right resistance exercises even for twenty minutes per day can help you a lot. Brisk walking, jogging or aerobics along with resistance exercises would be more effective for your plan to lose considerable weight in less time.

List out some goals like to become more flexible, improve your fertility, overcome the symptoms like diabetes, etc. Work on them through your diet and exercises, this would be the perfect way to lose weight gained due to this very common syndrome called as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. You should just be focused on your goals as nothing is impossible with determination and patience.
I first had symptoms when i was 17 and was told that i had PCOS (thin people type PCOS) and was officially diagnosed at 22 ans now i am 35. I have always had regular periods and unless on birth control pills were they irregular at times and I had a hard time getting pregnant because of the absent periods. I was always told by doctors that I would have a hard time conceiving so I would only go on the pill periodically which i did for more than 4 years, not for protection against getting pregnant, but just to get a period (since I was told it's not healthy to have less than 4 or so periods a year). Last time I went on a 3 month birth control pill and then stopped again because the medicine was not curing my pcos nor making me get pregnant. I went in search for a cure and ended up with so many drugs, medicine and even soaps that didn't work. I actually thought at a point that i was cursed that there is no cure for it, i was prepared to live like that till i read a testimony of a patient who suffered from pcos whose case was even worse than mine and how she was cured completely, I was amazed and at thesame time anxious and curious so i had to contact the doctor with the contact details that she left on the note. The doctor gave me so much hope and confidence with her kind words of encouragement to believe in myself and i was lifted because no one has ever given me hope like that before. I ordered the medicine, took it for 8 weeks and to my complete surprise, all the facial hairs, weight gain and all disappeared within 4 weeks and I ended up getting pregnant within a few weeks of completing the treatment! I was in shock. I think the main reasons it happened was that I never gave up and was ready to try alternative treatment so my body was back to normal. Before now i never enjoyed sex because it was very painful but now i do and my husband is the best thing that ever happened to me.. I hope this inspires some of you because I never in a million years would have thought that I would get pregnant and was getting frustrated and now our baby is due next month!
