Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects approximately 5 million women of reproductive age in the United States and is associated with increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer and infertility. Hyperinsulinemia worsens hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS and makes weight loss difficult. Research shows that carbohydrates from dairy and starch-based foods have greater insulinogenic properties than carbohydrates from non-starchy vegetables and fruits. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an 8-week dietary intervention eliminating insulinogenic foods results in successful weight loss and improved anthropometric measurements in women with PCOS.
