Healthy Living Books Books

Rating: - Check out other books first
If you've just been diagnosed check out other books BEFORE you buy this one. This is a great book but it's quite complex and off-putting by the sheer size alone.

There are 3 parts to the book (with 12 chapters in total): nutritional healing for PCOS, tackling your problems and prepare for success.

Whilst it is a great book my life wouldn't have been missing anything if I hadn't have bought it. The appendix is extremely useful as it summarises a lot of information that is available on the internet. Likewise, the suggested reading also provides useful material.

Rating: - don't buy both the PCOS handbook and the diet book
The "Ultimate PCOS Handbook" and the PCOS diet book by the same authors contain very similar content so it is a real waste of money to buy both. Buy one or the other (I think I like the handbook a little better than the diet book but they are so similar that there is not much to choose between them), but don't bother buying both.

Rating: - Very Helpful
I found this book very helpful and informative and it definitely helped me control my PCOS symptoms even long enough to successfully fall pregnant.

Basically, I was only diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago and I didn't really act on it, my doctor didn't even really know anything about it and he gave me a couple of sheets that he had about PCOS, I went back to the doctors and he did refer me to a specialist, she was a gynecologist but she actually specialised in PCOS. They gave me a few pointers on how I should be eating a low GI diet, gave me the option of going on the pill (which I declined) blah blah blah, but really I don't tend to actually eat very unhealthily anyway and I do a reasonable amount of excercise,but yet I am about a stone and a half over weight, for a anyone else, the diet I eat and the exercise I do, they would be a go0d weight I would imagine, as all of my friends eat worse than i do and don't do anywhere near as much exercise yet they are all like a size 8. I bought this bo0k and another bo0k by colette harris and dr adam carey which was just about PCOS because I felt that what the professionals had told me and what I had found on the internet wasn't quite enough, and both of the bo0ks really helped with my understanding of what PCOS actually is, and how I can work on it. Things are lo0king up at last!

so yes it is a must have for anyone experiencing PCOS because this bo0k will help to combat the symptoms so it will help you fight against acne, obesity, irregular periods, excess hair, hair loss all that jazz.

Rating: - Brilliant book, buy it now!
A really helpful, informative and surprising book. Very practical with useful explanations of what works and why. Unlike some other PCOS diet books, it doesn't demand rapid and difficult lifestyle changes; the message seems to be "everything in moderation", which is very encouraging. Altogether a brilliant buy and an invaluable tool in the ongoing battle with PCOS.
