Research Supporting a Whole Food, Plant Based (Vegan) Diet

Doing a quick Google search, I surprisingly found a good bit of articles that support my theory that a whole food, plant based diet can help tremendously with PCOS.
Whole food, plant based being categorized as a vegan diet that is also free of oil, added sugar and added salt with a minimum intake of saturated fat.

Neil Barnard wrote a very intersting article that explains his reasoning behind a vegan diet for PCOS.
It's pretty short so I won't rephrase it, but you can read it here:

In this Happy Herbivore article, a woman named Beth was able to cure her PCOS, IBS and get off all medications with a healthy vegan diet. She was featured as an "Herbie of the Week" on HH's blog. Read the full article here:

Recapping September

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since I've blogged here, but I'm not leaving this blog alone, I promise. September got a little crazy and while I managed to do a post a day about PCOS on Instagram (@Shara_Elyse), I did manage to neglect this.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to write about my story on a small blog site and you can read it here:
My PCOS Story

There were a few other women to leave their story on that site too, so it may be interesting to read those as well.

I also made a vlog about what I eat in a day, you can watch it here:
What I Eat in a Day

It was pretty fun to make and I did learn that I'm not eating enough each day. So I am working on that currently. My goal is to find others who have reversed PCOS on a plant based diet. I had a lot of discussions with women on different social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, sadly most want a magic pill to cure this. I think it can be found in what we eat. I was a bit down by all the negativity, but if I can inspire and help just one person, this will all be worth it in the end.

This weekend, I will share with you all some of the blogs I've found about women with PCOS and their journey into plant based eating. After that, I shall continue on with my original plan of breaking down each individual part of PCOS and how food can cure those ailments.
