Detailed Answer:
Hello,
PCOD is a lifestyle disorder, a hormonal imbalance that leads to weight gain, irregular periods, fertility issues, excessive hair growth on sensitive areas, acne etc.
It is important to have a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, fruits, liquids, sprouts, salads. Avoid carbohydrates ( rice, potatoes, fried food, oil, butter, ghee, cheese, ketchup, ice cream, chocolates, high-calorie sweets).
Consult a nutritionist to have a calorie deficient diet that does not compromise on vitamins. Consult a personal fitness trainer to have a workout every day to burn targeted calories.
Metformin tablets may hasten and aid in weight loss.
Are you married and do you have fertility issues? If yes, you may need medications for the purpose of planning a pregnancy.
All the best. Please feel free to discuss further.
