THANK YOU!!! This is very helpful...I was afraid that a GI diet wouldn't be as good for pcos since I was only given one option. My endo doc really wants me to do his diet (very carb restrictive and I know I won't maintain this way of eating for a lifetime) with no support ie: book, research, etc - he will not call it Atkins or SB, so no help there!! I find that the GI diet looks doable
