[coverattach=1]The New Glucose Revolution Guide to Managing PCOS: The Essential Guide to the PCOS-Glycemic Index Connection
by Jennie Brand-Miller, Kate Marsh, Nadir R. Farid, Nadir Farid

PCOS—Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome—is the most common hormonal disorder among women of child-bearing age, affecting approximately 6 to 10 percent of premenopausal women. No two women have the same symptoms, making it a difficult condition to diagnose.

In addition, many women don’t know they have it until they try to become pregnant. This breakthrough book contains the latest research that reveals how eating a healthy diet in conjunction with a basic exercise plan is a win-win situation for women with PCOS.

The book includes a complete, up-to-date table of GI and glycemic load values for more than eight hundred foods and beverages, provides a clear, concise diet and lifestyle plan, and thirty recipes.

This book is very informative. It could give a little better ideas on meal plans. It only gave a couple examples. Great motivator!

I also wish that this book contained better meal plans and food ideas. I found that part of it lacking.
However, it does provide a good overview of PCOs and the types of food (generally) to eat.

Hazelnut, I think the original Glucose Revolution book has more specific meal plans. As I recall, the PCOS book was a 'follow up'.

KatCarney is right. I have the original book and it has good suggestions for meal planning. The difficulty that I had with it was that it's written for a UK audience, so many of the suggested items aren't available in the U.S.

I had the same problem with alot of the books I read--they are written for the UK the measurements are different, we don't have some of the products, it is just kind of confusing all together.

I have to agree, not the best book I have read.
