PCOS and weight are directly related. That is why most patients with PCOS face weight issues. IVF experts of the best IVF clinic in Delhi – Gunjan IVF World share a quick read on the diet breakdown that every woman with PCOS should follow. Read to know what they are.

The 30-30 | 20-20 rule of PCOS diet

“At Gunjan IVF World, we always recommend our patients to follow the 30-30 | 20-20 rule. Well, it is a simple balanced rule of what one should eat to control PCOS. The first 30 of the rule requires women with PCOS to include 30% of carbs in the diet routine. Carbs help in sustaining energy. And the best way to get that is by adding oats, sweet potato (shakarkandi), chickpeas (chole), wholegrain cereals like jowar rotis, and a lot of lentils or daals to the diet,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Founder & Director of Gunjan IVF World – two times winner of North India’s best IVF chain by ETHealthWorld. This best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad has three other highly advanced clinics in Janakpuri, Meerut and Noida.

“The next 30 of the rule pertains to proteins. We advise our patients to include 30% protein in their diet to manage PCOS. And how would that help? Protein- rich food help in enhancing metabolism. It also reduces the appetite and unnecessary hunger pangs. Food like egg whites, yogurt, almonds, walnuts and rajma does wonders,” stated Dr. Garima Sharma, Conssultant and Centre In- Charge of Gunjan IVF World – a leading IVF clinic in Janakpuri.

“Coming to the next part of the rule – i.e. 20-20. This is an interesting mix. The first 20 applies to 20% of healthy fat in the diet plan. Healthy fats help in hormonal health. And the best way to consume them are through seeds and nuts like flaxseeds, sunflower seeds and pistas. Coconut and coconut oil can also be included in the diet along with peanut butter,” mentioned Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist Noida and Consultant at the best IVF clinic in Noida – Gunjan IVF World.

“The last 20 of the rule includes exercises. Doing so will help in improving energy levels, keep you fit and most importantly, help in weight loss and maintenance. This will not only control the condition but also make you feel better and more confident,” recommends Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at the leading IVF clinic in Indirapuram – Gunjan IVF World.

“Now, that you know about the 30-30 | 20-20 rule, go ahead and include it in your daily routine. You will see the results yourself,” concluded Dr. Aastha Raheja, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – the most talked about IVF center in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad.
