Worldwide, five to eight percent of women are currently suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a hard-to-diagnose hormonal imbalance which causes an odd cluster of symptoms. Women with PCOS struggle with irregular menstrual cycles, overgrowth of hair, and many other uncomfortable issues. But most importantly, they experience difficulty with weight loss.

60 percent of women with PCOS have issues with their weight. PCOS sufferers might be practicing healthy habits, but they don’t see the results that non-PCOS sufferers would. Coupled with the social stigma of weight gain being equated with laziness, the difficulty of maintaining a healthy weight often causes emotional pain and frustration for PCOS sufferers.

For women with PCOS, there are three critical elements to achieving weight loss:

  • Keep blood sugar as even as possible. Giving your blood sugar a rocket ride by eating candy or other high-sugar snacks causes a surge of insulin to be produced, and ultimately, a hormonal imbalance.
  • Get quality sleep. You spend one-third of your life sleeping. If you aren’t sleeping well, you’re not going to lose weight. Even though you might be eating well or exercising regularly, poor sleep will prevent these efforts from helping you to manage your weight.
  • Utilize the benefits of herbs and supplements. Sugar cravings, a common side effect of weight gain, can be diminished through the use of specific herbs and supplements, such as bitter melon.

Weight loss for women with PCOS is fundamentally about hormonal balance, which includes maintaining a stable blood sugar level. Through specific diet and lifestyle changes, along with the use of helpful natural supplements, hormones can be rebalanced and ease the symptoms that PCOS causes.

Having a healthy weight is critical to managing PCOS. Many health parameters are tied to your weight, and as your weight goes up, so does the risk of other health problems.

The good news is that even a 5 percent drop in body weight can make a difference. PCOS is a lifelong condition, but it can be managed. Women with PCOS need to know specifically what they can do that will be helpful for them.
