Doctors' responses
—Because you have PCOS, weight loss can be harder due to hormone and insulin changes. The most helpful approach is reducing high-carbohydrate foods, increasing protein, exercising regularly—especially strength training—and maintaining consistent sleep and routines. Gradual weight loss of about 1 pound per week is healthy, so reaching 180 pounds may take several months, but it is achievable with these lifestyle changes. —Ayurvedic Medicines: 1)Tab.
