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.

  • A balanced breakfast containing protein, fibre, and healthy fats can help improve satiety and blood sugar control.

  • For individuals living with overweight or obesity, even modest weight loss may improve insulin sensitivity, ovulation, and fertility. However, nutrition support benefits women of all body sizes.
