Is a carnivore diet good for PCOS?

No, Carnivore diet for PCOS is not a good long-term because of Cholesterol which is not great for heart health. It is also extreme, as it involves eating only animal products and cutting out all plants. Some women find it helpful because it completely eliminates sugar and carbs, which can lead to a quick drop in insulin levels and weight. However, it’s a very restrictive approach that misses out on fiber, which is crucial for PCOS to help flush out excess hormones and support gut health. While the high protein is great for satiety, the lack of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables might not be ideal for long-term inflammation. It’s worth being cautious here; for many, a more balanced approach that includes fiber-rich plants is easier to maintain and better for overall health.
