What are some strategies for managing weight when diagnosed with Polycystic ovary syndrome POCS?

Many women with PCOS gain weight or find it hard to lose. Moderately low carb diets (South Beach or Weight Watchers), and complex carbs instead of simple cards are good: brown rice, whole wheat bread/pasta, less sugars, and more protein. Portion control is also important, paying attention to serving sizes. Exercise is recommended: do weights and cardio at least three times a week: weights increase muscle mass, which burns more calories. Some women lose weight on metformin treatment, too.
