Many conventional recipes call for an onion to be sauteed in fat to develop sweetness. But an onion roasted whole is a healthier alternative for weight-conscious women with PCOS because it can offer the same caramelized flavor without recourse to cooking with fat.
Place a whole, unpeeled onion in the microwave for five minutes or bake in an oven at 400-500 degrees for 30 minutes.
Then allow it to cool before cutting off the root end and squeezing out the soft interior. Spread this creamy treat on celery stalks for a delicious snack or appetizer – or add to recipes that call for fried or sauteed onion.
Right away you’ll have made the resulting meal a lot more condusive to better management of PCOS without sacrificing any taste.

Regular exercise is essential for better management of your PCOS. But always aim for a mix of protein, good carbs and healthy fat to replenish your body after you’ve exercised. A good workout is not an excuse to tackle a double cheeseburger and fries afterward!
If you exercise early, try for a breakfast which includes an omelet or oatmeal with some nuts or raisins mixed in. If you exercise later in the day, opt for a salad with grilled chicken or some turkey on whole-wheat bread … and hold the mayo.
You’ll be dehydrated after exercise, so don’t forget to keep plenty of water handy. Maintaining a healthy balance of diet and exercise is a key to good health.

Beta-carotene is primarily known for aiding healthy vision, which can be at risk in people with PCOS-linked diabetes. But it also contributes to strong teeth and healthy skin and hair, as well as boosting immune and reproductive systems. The latter are both vulnerable to symptoms of PCOS.
When shopping for foods rich in vitamin A-packed beta-carotene, let color guide you. The best sources come in bright packages – orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, such as apricots, cantaloupes, carrots, mangoes, pumpkins, squash and sweet potatoes.
Another good source is dark green vegetables like broccoli, collard greens and spinach. As a rule, the deeper the color, the more beta-carotene a food contains.
