[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.

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.

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 just read this book. I like how it explains GI versus GL. However, unless I need to re-read, many of their examples of how people regain fertility, etc. are usually due to weight loss and metformin (in addition to the diet). I felt it was less applicable to thin cysters as well as those who can't take metformin for some reason or another.
I'm not knocking it altogether, though. I changed a lot of things about my diet after reading it and feel good.
I really liked this book. It's small, to the point and very informative especially if you want to start low GI diet. That's true, it doesn't have many recipes but I never follow recipes so it wasn't a problem for me. I loved that the book had a wide list of foods and their GI vs GL. Very informative.
This was the first book that I read, and I think it was a really great to start out. It was a great book that really made me realize what I was dealing with and a lot of ways to improve. It introduced me to eating by the glycemic index and that has really helped.
