Dear readers , welcome to this post that talks about Indian diet plan for pcod. Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder where females produce excess of androgen hormones. These days not only overweight or obese women, but women with normal weight also experience PCOS. This happens because of junk food, sedentary lifestyle and compromised immunity. Although, Stress and Hormonal imbalance or side effect of any other illness remain to be the main cause of pcod. A regular body check up every year will help detect any disorders early.

Vicious cycle of Weight and PCOS:
Excess weight means excess body fat that leads to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is prominent in PCOS. Hence the doctors prescribe diabetic medicines in Pcos and Pcod. With this Indian diet plan for pcod , we are not only aiming at weight loss , But our target is to reduce the body fat. This will in turn help us balance our hormone system.
How to achieve the goal of losing body fat in PCOS / PCOD ?
- Take proper medical assistance
- Follow a healthy Indian diet plan for pcod
- Involve into regular exercise
Medical Assistance:
First line of treatment is to start an oestrogen pill or oral contraceptives to regularise the hormone cycle. Metformin is prescribed to correct the insulin secretion and action. Metformin reduces body fat and in turn resulting in weight loss. It is advised to take professional help before popping any pills.
Healthy Diet:
Diet should be such that reduces weight, positively affects hormones and improves insulin resistance. A moderate intake of complex carbohydrates, high protein and fair intake of healthy fats is advisable. Consume high fiber whole grains, millets, fibrous fruits and vegetables, sprouts, egg whites, chicken, fish, low fat dairy products and omega 3 rich oil. Read more on diet tips for pcod.

Dietary guidelines for Indian diet plan for Pcod / pcos
- Replace your regular wheat flour with any multi grain flour or millet flour. The high fiber flour has a maximum satiating effect thus, the quantity ingested is less. Include quinoa, oats or cereals with bran. This helps in weight loss, especially fat loss. Read –Top 10 low carb recipes for weight loss and Benefits of different types of millets in weight loss.
- Eat at least 1 – 2 fruits in a day. Sweet fruits fulfil your craving of desserts. The high fiber content of the fruits gives feeling of fullness and satisfies the small hunger between the meals. Avoid any fruit juice as it is high in simple sugars. Simple sugars lead to weight gain and increased serum cholesterol. Read – How to stop food cravings during weight loss.
- Green salad or vegetable soup provides dietary fiber and reduce glucose surge, that in turn helps in controlling serum cholesterol and aid in weight loss. find Interesting recipes of salads and soups here – Healthy recipes
- Incorporation of low fat dairy products, egg whites, dals and pulses increases the protein in diet. This in turn regulates blood sugars, controls hormone action and reduces weight and regularises ovulation cycle. Read – Types of sprouts and their benefits in weight loss
- The warm water with cinnamon at night washes out toxins from the body and satisfies thirst that can be mistaken for hunger. The cinnamon added to it increases the antioxidant property of the water. Cinnamon also improves insulin sensitivity and reduces insulin resistance.
- Do not skip any meals. If more meals skipped, you tend to put on more fat in the body instead of losing weight.
- Consume 5 – 6 meals per day. This avoids the sugar release and insulin surge in the body thus, avoiding insulin resistance.
-
Green Tea
Green tea is a stress reliever. It regularises body’s metabolism, removes toxic wastes and helps in reducing cholesterol. Read – different types of drinks that help in weight loss
-
Green juice
When taken on empty stomach removes toxins from the body. Hence drinking it on empty stomach is very important. The antioxidant rich juice reduces the inflammatory damage done on the ovaries and other blood vessels in the body.
-
Exercise

Rice Bran Oil
Use rice bran oil to control fat deposition, reduce stress on the arteries and to reduce weight. Also olive oil used for cooking can be taken into consideration. Or a perfect blend of different oils is recommended.
Regular exercise:
Exercise along with following the above mentioned Indian diet plan for pcod. Our main aim is to reduce body fat rather than just body weight. Researchers claim that women with PCOS who did 3 hours of aerobic exercise per week for 12 weeks had improved insulin sensitivity, cholesterol and visceral fat even is the weight loss was not prominent. Read – How to burn fat effectively .
Cardio workout:
Cardio workout acts on the body as whole and not just a particular body part. 30 – 45 minutes of cardio exercise 5 times a week is advised. First 20 minutes of cardio workout uses carbohydrates and proteins from the body for energy. Post 20 minutes body starts breaking down fats for energy. This is when actual fat loss begins. Exercises like walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, dancing or skipping aims on fat loss.
Read – Benefits of walking and Benefits of skipping on weight loss.
A high intensity cardio workout like cross fit training, pilates or zumba also gives similar results. 20 – 30 minutes 4 – 5 times a week is recommended.

End note:
PCOS is not a disease to be cured. It is a disorder that can be only corrected or maintained at healthy level. Every time you eat or drink something you are either feeding or fighting the disorder. Lose fat to win over PCOS. A balanced diet, exercise and medication if required are tactics to fight against polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Hiii Mam..

Hi Koms,

i am woring on a diet plan for pcod clients who wish to conceive .. will be pubishing it next week .. so you can visit us again , and check on that one as well.
Mam i have following questions:
1- how to deal with light facial hair due to pcos ? Do they keep growing or the growth can be stopped?
2 – Is spearmint tea effective? I read it all over on google abt how beneficial it is .
3- is it true that pcod has to be dealt for lifetime ?
4 – My weight is 51 kg and i dont want to lose more weight then what else can i do apart frm losing weight ?
Hi Komal ,
1- how to deal with light facial hair due to pcos ? Do they keep growing or the growth can be stopped?
Ans – I know its a bit of worry for a lot of women , but we need to deal with it . there is no way of stopping it as it is hormonal issue and can be controlled only if you can control the hormones , which will happen gradually once you continue with your medice , and your insulin levels are under control as well. mean while you can use some home remedies to get rid if these ..
a] you can use lemon juice in 2-3 tsp of honey and make a mask of this . apply it 2 times a week , this will lighten the hair , and exofliate the dead skin and some extra hair too.
b] you can try , besan , lemon , rose water , turmeric pack and use it as a scrub , and then leave it on for 5- 10 mins , then rub it in circular motion , and remove , this will remove some of the hair and leave your skin feeling smooth and lighter too.
2 – Is spearmint tea effective? I read it all over on google abt how beneficial it is .
ans – yes i have seen it helping in a lot of clients , but some clients did not find it useful .. so you need to try it and see if this helps . its hard to predict.
3- is it true that pcod has to be dealt for lifetime ?
ans – not really , some women get alright after pregnancy or with lifestyle management. I myself have gotten better after pregnancy .
4 – My weight is 51 kg and i dont want to lose more weight then what else can i do apart frm losing weight ?
ans – dont lose weight . but follow a healthy lifestyle . if you are in the right weight , doesnt mean that you can eat all calorie laden food and do without a workout . exercises will help you put your hormones back on track . so workout . and eat healthy .. choose healthy foods against the fried , junk , unhealthy and calorie dense , cream laden foods available in the market.
I hope these help . for more quesries , please feel free to write back 🙂
Thankyou mam ,
Are besan and sooji good to be consumed ?
And do medicines need to consumed for entire life ? Are there any side effects of consuming medicines like metformin ?
Hi Komal,
yes you can have besan and sooji … see no matter what food you choose to eat , moderation is the key . and t he foods that needs to be avoided completely are mentioned in the article.
medicines are not life time thing . they are given temporarily till you periods get normal . so dont worry , just eat clean , workout and for now be regular with medicines. every thing will start falling in place.
Hi,
The Keto diet includes lots of fats like fresh cream, paneer etc. Is it advisable to consume such fat if we are suffering frm pcod since last 6 years ?
Hi Barkha ,
if you have pcod , and you are obese , then getting the weight own becomes a priority … keto diet, or any other such crash or restrictive diet should always be a second choice . the first way that you choose to lose weight should always be through a healthy balanced , low ccal diet , but in some cases , where a person has already been following such low cal diets , and exercises , but has hit a plateau , keto diet works as a pleatuea breaker and gives fast results . you can follow it for a month lose good weight and and switch back to a healthy routine to maintain the lost weight . ofcourse a few choices in fat will change if you choose to do keto . like , you need to reduce the dairy fat and increase other healthy fat .
Hi Payal
I have PCOS and have only one fallopian tube. My weight is 75 kg and age is 38. I want to conceive so which diet should I follow.

Hello mam
I am 24 yrs and i never had regular periods and now i am diagnosed with pcod . My height is 5.5and weight is 56 . Do i need to lose weight ?if so , then what diet should i follow ? i dont have other symptoms of pcod like facial hair and acne . Will i be able to concieve ?
Hi Pooja,
i think your weight is ok for your height , Whether over weight or not , pcod management requires a balanced diet and an exercises routine to manage the weight . if weight is normal , controlling pcos becomes very easy , and so will conceiving . exercising will help ypour hormones to come to normal .
Hi payal mam ,
I felt so positive when i read this post on pcod otherwise the internet is filled with negative content!
I was diagnosed with bilateral pcod a month back . I have been having 4-5 chin hair since 4 years but i was not aware about this hormonal disorder and my periods were regular but from February i found an increase in facial hair and also delay in period by 10-12 days and so then i consulted my gynae . I am 24 years old and my weight is 53 kgs ! My gynae told me that since i am not obese , it would be problematic for me to recover from this disorder , it is true ?
After making some changes in my diet with the info i gathered and with my gynae’s advice , i am following this
FOR DIET –
After i wake up i drink warm water with honey and lemon , for breakfast i include alternatives like Daal moth, chana , eggs , chole mixed with onion and tomatoes , brown bread .
For lunch : i eat 1 green vegie sabzi , daal and 2 aata chapatis and salad too .
For evening : i drink green tea and for snacks i eat nuts , roasted murmura , besan ka chilla , sooji uthapam or any fruit .
For dinner : i eat a bowl of daal and 1 chapati .
FOR EXERCISE : i do 40 mins of walking in the morning and even in evening too if possible . And do meditation .
Can you help me out in making any further changes in the lifestyle i am currently following which i can follow till long run ?
And what about facial hair mam ? Will the hair growth increase day by day ?
Hi Aditi ,
the diet routine and workout looks good . just include some more fiber and fruits in your diet . hair growth is a part of hormonal dysfunction … and it will get corrected as your hormones start gettin under control . Also we are soon comin up with an article about hair growth in pcod , and im sure you will be benefitted . do come back and readd that . 🙂
Hi . Good evening.
What are the possible sources of calcium for women with pcos who do not consume dairy products? I exercise both in the morning and evening as adviced but i feel very weak . For fibre too ?
For protein i eat sprouts and pulses and chickpeas regularly .
Moreover , can i eat normal aata chapati (2-3) a day instead of whole grain aata ? I eat it with daal usually which is a source of protein and i read somewhere that protein consumption along with carb neutralises the affect of high GI of wheat and doesn’t let spike in blood sugar level .
Hi Yashvi ,
Please find my replies below –
What are the possible sources of calcium for women with pcos who do not consume dairy products? I exercise both in the morning and evening as adviced but i feel very weak .
Payal – some non dairy sources of calcium for pcod patients are – spinach , ragi , Rajgeera , Canned fish like sardines, salmon with bones, soyabean and products and other lentils .
For fibre too ?
payal – fiber sources are all vegetable and fruits mentioned above
For protein i eat sprouts and pulses and chickpeas regularly
payal – theses are excellent .. include some soyabean too.
Moreover , can i eat normal aata chapati (2-3) a day instead of whole grain aata ?
– yes thats fine , the whole graina atta has higher amount of fiber , and some more micros than the regular atta ..
I eat it with daal usually which is a source of protein and i read somewhere that protein consumption along with carb neutralises the affect of high GI of wheat and doesn’t let spike in blood sugar level .
– Well .. 1-2 chapatis cannot do much harm , dont worry about it .
Heyy ,
I want to ask that the medicines prescribed by the gynaecologist to us so that we get regular periods , are they going to help us to balance our hormones and thereby recovering from pcod?

Hi Nisha ,
Homeopathy works best in pcod cases , i have seen so many cases where homeopathy not only helped them in getting regular periods , but they could come back to the normal them and a few cases where they conceived with the help . so i am definitely up for it .

Questn – Regarding the food , i dont eat High GI foods like maida products, potatoes etc ..so is it enough or i need to compromise even on daily indian staple diet ? I eat 2 rotis in lunch and 2 in dinner along with sabzi !

Hi Mam,This is Keerthi my weight is 82 & height is 5.5 having pcos irregular periods please suggest diet plan i have googled many diet plan but still i dont knw what to follow for pcos nw having tablets for getting periods regularly also trying for baby just started my cycling more tha 5 km per day but still i cant reduce my weight kindly advice please
Hi ,
Your body must have gotten used to the exercises and walking you do and now adjusts to whatever little calories you are intakingf. this happens in a lot of cases where despite of all efforts you dont lose a bit. breaking this plateau requires a lot of patience …. here is what you can do …….. exercise wise – stop doing what you are already doing for a week … and then you surprise your body with a new activity .. for ex – you have been walking all these days , so now change your activity to swimming / zumba dancing / skatting / gyming / playing badminton or lawn tennis … whatever suits you best. tai chi and kick boxing and pillates work excellently in such cases., i know its hard to find time and availabilty of such sports around you .. but if you want to get there .. you need to find harder !!
Food wise – surprise your body yet agin by co nsuming food stuffs that you never did .. it changes your metabolic graph and hence makes you lose weight …. ex – if you have been eating wheat and rice as staples so far … dont eat them for an entire week , and consume other cereals like bajra , jowar , or ragi …. this funda has worked superbly with my clients .. you can try and see if it suits you too ..
Hi Payal,
Thanks for this.
I have been suffering from PCOS for the last two years. My weight is 84kgs Ang and my height is 5’1.
I have been trying to lose weight for almost one year now but all in vain.

Then I do walking for 40-45 mins.
Breakfast: Oats with skimmed milk and stevia powder added.
Lunch: salad+chilki dal(without tadka) + 2 rotis and sabji( stevia added)
Evening: 5-6 badam
Snacks: Fruit or sometimes I have bhel without the farsan and see added.
Dinner: Chana and bowl of skimmed milk curd.
Please let me know if this is fine or do I need to change anything.
I have heard that going on only fruit diet for 2 weeks help reduce weight.Is it true?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Khyati ,
going on a fruit diet is a short term solution .. so please follow a balanced diet … the one you have mentioned looks ok . for now .. follow it for a week or so and then change the pattern to get more weight loss. you can refer the diet plan mentioned above … next week on , change your dinners to soups and more salads.

Hi mam ….
I am 19 years old .
My height is 5 .5 inch
My weight is 76 kg …
Mam i came to know that i have pcos last year .
And earlier my weight was 83 kg and i have reduced to 76 kg but from last 3 months i am not able to reduce weight infact i have incresed my exercise time also earlier i used to do exercise for 30 min bit now for 45 min. Still it is not getting reduced and regarding my diet i minimined the fat content .

Mam i got ultrasound last year but now my periods are properly coming so should i get my check up again?
And mam please can you tell is that diet which is mentioned above suitable for me to reduce weight?
Hi Aditi,
Your body must have gotten used to the exercises and walking you do and now adjusts to whatever little calories you are intakingf. this happens in a lot of cases where despite of all efforts you dont lose a bit. breaking this plateau requires a lot of patience …. here is what you can do …….. exercise wise – stop doing what you are already doing for a week … and then you surprise your body with a new activity .. for ex – you have been walking all these days , so now change your activity to swimming / zumba dancing / skatting / gyming / playing badminton or lawn tennis … whatever suits you best. tai chi and kick boxing and pillates work excellently in such cases., i know its hard to find time and availabilty of such sports around you .. but if you want to get there .. you need to find harder !!
Food wise – surprise your body yet agin by co nsuming food stuffs that you never did .. it changes your metabolic graph and hence makes you lose weight …. ex – if you have been eating wheat and rice as staples so far … dont eat them for an entire week , and consume other cereals like bajra , jowar , or ragi …. this funda has worked superbly with my clients .. you can try and see if it suits you too ..

Hi Supraja ,
