[coverattach=1]The Dietitian's Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (Paperback) by Angela Grassi (Author)
Review
This book fills a gap in the practical literature on medical nutrition therapy for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It is a useful, practice-oriented book written by an experienced dietitian for dietitians. I highly recommend this book for dietitians interested in women's health. - --Jeffrey E. Harris, DrPH, MPH, RD, LDN
Thank you for writing this book! I am not a dietitian or health care professional but I do have PCOS and I think all women with this syndrome would benefit from reading The Dietitian s Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It s full of nutrition and medical information that I haven t seen in any other PCOS book. I especially appreciated the chapter on PCOS and Pregnancy, Lactation, and the Postpartum Period as I am pregnant. - --Rebecca Dewaele
A much needed reference for registered dietitians and other health professionals in understanding and treating women with PCOS. - --Lynn Monahan Couch, MPH, RD, LDN
Product Description
A much needed book for any health care provider, as well as women with PCOS themselves! It is estimated that 10% of the female population has PCOS. Lifestyle modification of diet and exercise has been established as the preferred method of treatment. Dietitians and other health care professionals, because of their unique role in developing long-term relationships with their patients, may be the first to recognize the syndrome. This book, the first of its kind, will give dietitians and individuals the necessary knowledge and training to effectively treat PCOS.

This was a thick book to read through if you aren't familiar with some of the terms.... I think it breaks down to something similar to the zone diet, but I'm a little sketchy on both, so don't quote me on that, it is just my observation and I might be totally wrong. I did like how this book referenced the emotional toll that the symptoms take on cysters. I think that is often missing from many practitioners understanding and treatment. There was quite a bit of information on alternatives, too. It's kind of spendy, but might be considered a text book and eligible for some of the specials that companies offer at the start of school (like right now).
I thoroughly read Angela's book, and while it is initially focused on health professionals, nutritionists, etc., it's rather comprehensive and just as good a resource for us "laypeople."
Angela's also recently written (er, co-written) a book called "The PCOS Workbook" that helps women work through some of the emotional AND physical issues relating to PCOS to find a stronger, healthier lifestyle with the disorder. I've skimmed it, but will give it a full read here soon. Looks like a great resource though!

I was so happy to find this book. I stated the path to studying nutrition about 2 years ago when I couldn't find any resources for PCOS nutrition that really laid it out clearly. I found it to be a great resource for me since I have PCOS and am studying to be a registered dietician!
