Setting Realistic Goals: From Weight Loss to Lifestyle Modification
The advice often given to “just lose weight” can be damaging and ignores the multifaceted challenges faced by those with PCOS. Instead, it’s essential to focus on lifestyle modifications that do not emphasize weight loss as the singular goal.
Research indicates that small, sustained lifestyle changes can significantly improve PCOS symptoms and lead to better metabolic health without the harsh risks associated with drastic weight loss regimens. Weight loss should be considered a potential outcome of better blood sugar control and healthier lifestyle choices rather than the sole objective.
