Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is characterized by amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity, all of which are associated with enlarged polycystic ovaries. It is the most common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. A number of dietary and lifestyle therapies have been researched as a means of assisting in its control. The Fully Low-Calorie Modest Diet (FLCMD) is quickly demonstrating positive effects in the treatment of metabolic illnesses other than obesity. This study's main objective is to assess the scientific evidence for this dietary pattern's efficacy in treating PCOS and its associated metabolic issues. According to preliminary data, FLCMD significantly reduced insulin resistance, body composition, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, serum insulin, triglycerides, and other metabolic characteristics. The evidence is still lacking, though, and has to be supported further. The ideal dietary pattern and macronutrient composition are still up for debate, but it has been shown that weight loss in PCOS women improves their body composition and metabolic anomalies. Together with its well-known metabolic advantages, there is some evidence to suggest that women with PCOS may experience improved fertility while following the Mediterranean diet. It should be mentioned that FLCMD is a potentially effective strategy for the progressive management of PCOS, but it requires professional prescription and strict supervision.
