Synopsis

Relieve PCOS symptoms with the proven power of the DASH diet

PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is difficult to live with, but its symptoms―such as infertility and weight gain―can be managed, and, in some cases, eliminated altogether. A modified DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension) diet has been clinically proven to reduce PCOS symptoms. The DASH diet optimizes insulin levels, promotes weight loss, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases―all the while, you’re enjoying delicious meals and getting relief.

Not sure how to get started? Not a problem. Treating PCOS with the DASH Diet contains a 3-week meal plan that guides you along this new journey. Learn how to properly prep meals week-to-week with simple recipes that are healthy, tasty, and easy to whip up.

• Lower your insulin resistance―Learn how to reduce insulin resistance and keep unwanted weight gain in check.
• Improve your eating habits―Changing the way you eat isn’t easy, and this book offers helpful guidelines to make your transition simple.
