PCOD is often associated with weight gain. The inability of your body to undergo regular menstruation and major hormonal imbalance leads to excess weight. Those suffering from PCOD have to watch out before putting anything inside their mouth.  A lifestyle routine and healthy food can help you with the same.

There is no specific diet that can prevent or treat PCOD. However, eating well and being active can help manage some of long term complications of PCOD. The best eating plan if you have PCOD is one that helps you manage your weight and also lower the long term risks of diabetes and heart disease. This plan should be low in saturated fat and high in fibre.

At Health Total, we realise the capability of each body to absorb nutrients and give you a personalised food plan accordingly. We determine each woman’s medical scenario, their health capability and churn out a treatment to give you the maximum and best result for PCOD.

Here’s a guide on maintaining a healthy weight with PCOD straight from our health experts:

• Focus when you are eating:
  Though it is important to watch what you eat, at the same time, it is also important to focus on your food while you are eating. Often sitting in front of a TV or laptop tends to make you overeat without even making you realise. Hence, next time you sit down to eat, put all your focus on your plate.
• Do not over exert yourself:
  Yes, exercise or any form of physical activity is important to keep a check on your weight. However, you also need to give your body some rest. If you keep working out day in and out, you may over exert your body and this might lead to serious repercussions.
• Enjoy protein:
  Both protein and fibre hold an important place in your diet. Protein makes you feel strong and also helps you stay full for longer, so that you eat less. This is a great way to help control your weight.
• Foods to limit:
  Some foods cause weight gain if you eat them often. Choose fewer foods that are high in sugar, salt, refined flour and fat and always remember to chew your food properly as it helps in digestion and also curbs over-eating.
• Spice up:
  Study has found out that spices in your food makes your meal even more satisfying. You tend to feel to satiated and do not crave for more. It also makes you feel less and helps you burn your fats faster.
