Do you or someone you know suffer from PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)? I address the question Chris Powell and I so often receive as to whether or not carb cycling works for those diagnosed with PCOS in this week’s Ask Heidi Anything.
Watch the video to hear my answer. Learn more about carb cycling here.
This video contains general information. You should always discuss dietary and exercise plans with your individual health care provider before beginning a new program.

I have been on the fence about whether carb cycling was something that I could try and really commit to and this post is what finally convinced me! I have struggled with PCOS since high school and I’m glad that you took the time to talk about it! Thank you!
Between PCOS, blood pressure medication and hypothyroid…. ever since I had my daughter (6 1/2 years ago) I am struggling like crazy. Good to know it can work if you have PCOS.
Hmmm I have never heard of carb cycling my curiosity is peaked.
I suffer from PCOS – I really appreciate this post!
Great video, going to definitely share with my friend that suffers from PCOS and is pre-diabetic!
Great Video
I too have PCOS, Chris’s books are on my way shipped as we speak, can not wait to start!! Nervous, but hopeful that this is finally going to be the information that I have ALWAYS needed and wanted. Thank you so much for posting this article, and always thinking about how you can help others. You and Chris are amazing people. Keep doing what you are doing, you are CHANGING LIVES!!!
You should show the food plan to his pediatrician and work with them. Show them the food list and program for approval.
Hi Heidi,
First congrats on the new baby coming soon. My husband and I want another baby too but I want to get my health and my weight under control first. Do you think Carb cycling is something that all my family can do together? Or should it just be for me? My husband is in great shape because of his job and my kids are 13, 11 and 7 and the only one I am just now starting to worry about is my 11yr old son the other two are great. He’s very active but his appetite is crazy, he’s always hungry no matter what I do. Any help is appreciated. Heather
Thank you for sharing this! So many women deal with PCOS and not many people discuss it and the problems that typically go along with it like insulin resistance and difficulty losing weight. I just started my first week of carb cycling Monday so I’m looking forward to my first weigh in Saturday =]
