So, to answer the question “Are fats good for PCOS and infertility?”—Yes! Yes, they are. High-fat diets are an effective treatment for PCOS, infertility, and other health disorders. They can help regulate female reproductive hormones, which can lead to better fertility and ovulation in women with these conditions. And there’s no need for calorie counting or portion control—simply eat high-quality animal foods until you feel full!
