FAQs About PMOS
-
There isn't one "perfect" PMOS diet. Research consistently supports balanced eating patterns rich in vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, whole grains, legumes, and high-fibre foods. The best diet is one you can enjoy long term while supporting blood sugar management and hormone health.

Yes. Nutrition can help improve insulin resistance, regulate blood sugars, support ovulation, reduce inflammation, improve cholesterol, and enhance fertility outcomes.
-
Focus on protein, high-fibre carbohydrates and whole grains, fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, healthy fats, Greek yogurt, fish, and olive oil.

Rather than eliminating foods, focus on limiting highly processed foods, sugary beverages, and meals low in protein or fibre that can contribute to larger blood sugar fluctuations.
