PCOS and Diet: A Medical Perspective

This is a medical perspective from OB/GYN.net about how insulin resistance works but also features at the end a breakdown of carb and calorie reductions.  It covers how to avoid ketosis, known from extremely low-carb diets and how to reduce calories sensibly.  This is from a medical perspective so it might lack in some mentions for natural and holistic methods. I do personally believe medical treatments and products like Insulite's PCOS supplements can go hand in hand to help treat PCOS.
"it is believed that diet can help reduce insulin resistance, which can not only help erratic menses, hirsutism and acne, but may decrease the risk of heart disease and diabetes as well. This article will discuss the role of diet in PCOS and give practical suggestions for meal planning."
