The Importance of Weight Loss for Women With PCS
It's often recommended to lose 5% to 10% of body weight in order to improve PCS symptoms. But this is not always the best advice for every person with PCOS. Weight loss might happen, but it doesn't necessarily cause a beneficial change in all those other factors. So you need to focus on your lifestyle and your health behaviours. Are you eating, what's your nutritional quality like? Are you exercising? All those sorts of things that will actually have an impact on whether or not your weight can change. And actually, I would say your weight is slightly irrelevant. If you're doing all those positive health behaviours, then you should see a change in your PCOS symptoms.
