The next diet in our series (following posts on the ketogenic diet and the Mediterranean diet) is the low glycemic index diet. While the first two diets are fairly well-defined and well-known, what constitutes a low glycemic index diet is less clear and the concept is much less well known.
But this post will clear things up!
First, I’ll explain what the glycemic index and the glycemic load are. Then I’ll talk about several studies that vary in how they implement a low glycemic index diet. From there, we’ll be able to see what features of the diet are most effective at helping with PCOS symptoms.
