A disorder known as PCOS causes the ovaries to produce abnormally high levels of androgen, which can cause ovarian cysts. Symptoms of PCOS include mood swings, obesity, acne, and irregular menstruation.

Avoiding particular foods can help control the symptoms of PCOS. "This way of living isn't as limiting as it would seem, particularly when it comes to eating. Dietitian Tallene Hacatoryan stated, "You'll notice in the meal plan that we are still able to have the meals we enjoy... we're just swapping out the ingredients that may be triggering our symptoms with PCOS friendly alternatives."

These are some foods that we ought to stay away from-

1. Not all women with PCOS have gluten sensitivity. But avoiding gluten for a minimum of one month can aid in the management of PCOS symptoms.

2. Dairy products exacerbate insulin resistance and increase androgen levels. Eliminating dairy products can aid in the management of insulin resistance.

3. Increasing the body's sugar intake can exacerbate PCOS symptoms such as weariness, weight gain, and incessant hunger.

4. We shouldn't give up eating red meat entirely. Alternatively, we may take it twice a week and get our Omega-3 fix from fish or white meat.
