Format:Paperback
I was diagnosed with PCOS just a couple of months ago and didn't know much about it. My Doctor gave me a leaflet but there wasn't a lot to go on. I did some research on the internet and found out about insulin resistance amongst other things all related to PCOS. It has explained a lot. Once finally deciding to find out more and do something about PCOS I checked through other Amazon reader reviews and opted for this book. I have really enjoyed reading it. It is broken down into contained chapters that you can just dip in and out of - depending on what you want to read about first. As i know so little about the subject I was very conventional and started at the front and am working my way through the entire book. I would say it is a great all rounder - with great advice and also explanation on diet, symptoms etc. Overall I found it extremely positive and reinforces that anyone suffering from PCOS can take control and help themselves. If my friend was diagnosed with PCOS I would definitely buy her this book!

I tend to buy a lot of books that become available on the subject of PCOS, and I found this one really good. I like the format of the dummy books, it is easy to read, very easy to find the type of information you are looking for, and unlike most books has a certain amount of humour. A good and refreshing reference book, with lots of practical information.

This is the Polycycystic Ovary Syndrome bible.
It contains everything you need to know and more. It helps you choose a healthy diet with low GI products.
Explains how and what symptoms you are going through, also what prescription drugs a doctor would recommend and if you are taking them the affect they actually have on the body.
Out of all the books i have purchased this is the most helpful and the easiest to read with helpful hints and tips.
I would advise anybody with PCOS to stop wasting money on books, herbal remedies and vitamins and please purchase this book first. It will save you endless amounts of money. Only wish someone had told me this months ago.
