this book absolutley works, 2008-04-17
i read this book, a couple of times. i didn't follow the diets listed religiously, but i did follow the nutritional guidelines, and changed my lifestyle and eating habits. about a year later, i had lost 40 pounds, and found out that i was pregnant! a miracle i thought i would never experience. i recomend this book to anyone with pcos, who is having trouble losing weight, and/or concieving.

Total waste of money, 2007-04-08
I firmly think that this book's title and what it states on its front is misleading and fradulent.
This book is falsly titled so that the consumer thinks it is a diet book for people who have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Note it even mentions weight loss on the cover as well as the word 'Diet'. It is not a weight loss diet book for people with PCOS.

There is a 10 page 'sample menu and recipies' starting on page 97. I wrongly assummed this was a diet plan when I bought the book. But it is not.

Further into the book there is a chapter titled 'Losing Weight - Breaking the PCOS cycle' which begins on page 177. In this chapter there is a one day sample menu.
It appears that there is only one day of a sample diet day in the whole book that is actually directly related to weight loss.
I bought this book as I have PCOS and I wanted a diet book so I could lose weight.

It is wrong to let the title remain as is because this book is not for people who want to lose weight who have PCOS.

I have asked the publishers for my money back.

Also note that the book is quite repetitative and information contained in it quotes 'internet surveys' - these are hardly credible sources and should not be taken seriously by anyone except teenagers who delight in reading daily horoscopes.
Any book about diet should at the very least include studies that have been tested for scientific rigor and should be written by at least a doctor or dietitian.

I find the book is not at all scientific. PCOS is all about hormone levels thus lack of scientific rigor might actually be detrimental to whoever buys it.
The book also states to eat brocolli 'because it burns calories chewing it'. Oh heavens save me please :)
What a total lack of money!!!

The best PCOS book ever, 2007-02-27
I was diagnosed with PCOS this past August and must tell you this is the best book I have found. After being diagnosed I purchased about 10 books and this one is by far the best book. It goes through what foods and combinations of foods you should be eating to keep the PCOS under control. I was able to lose 9 pounds by following the recommendations like eating small meals / healthy snacks every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. It even said that after following the steps in this book your system would operate normally and you could become pregnant. Well, I didn't really believe it but after about 3 months of following their advice I am now 17 weeks pregnant. I had been told that I had a 3% chance of conceiving naturally due to the PCOS, a Unicornuate uterus and one working fallopian tube. I recommend this book to anyone who has PCOS, if it worked for me it can work for anyone.
