5 tips that will help you reach your weight-loss PCOS goals :

1. Keep an eye on the portion size and consume small meals, with a gap of 2-3 hours between each. This is better than consuming three large meals a day.

2. Stay hydrated by drinking at least 2 to 3 litres of water a day. Whenever you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water, coconut water or a healthy drink. This will help you eat less than usual and will keep you hydrated.

3. Do not forget to couple a healthy diet with exercise. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise during the day, such as climbing up the stairs instead of taking the lift, brisk walking, yoga, skipping, swimming, etc. to improve chances of weight loss.

4. Replace unhealthy snacks with low glycemic index (GI) fruits such as orange, apples, pears, avocado and grapefruit. Have them whole, along with the fibre, which helps you keep full and also adds much-needed nutrients and antioxidants to your diet.
