PCOS Programme Complete- 14 weeks

Take control of your symptoms, improve your relationship with food and build habits towards sustainable weight loss

 

The PCOS Complete programme is designed to address both the root cause of your PCOS symptoms and support you with establishing habits that will help you lose weight sustainably and improve your relationship with food.

 

A: Addressing the root cause of your PCOS symptoms:

You will receive a comprehensive and personalised plan to address the root cause of your symptoms, which may include:

• irregular or absent periods
• issues with ovulation & fertility
• weight gain & difficulties with cravings
• raised blood sugars
• acne/ oily skin
• mood swings
• fatigue
• thinning of or loss of hair
• hirsutism (thick, dark hair on face, chest, tummy, lower back, buttocks or thighs)

B: Improving relationship with food and building habits towards long-term health and sustainable weight loss

Women with PCOS are more likely to suffer from disordered eating, negative body image and weight gain. Jumping from one ‘quick fix’ diet to another, PCOS women often get short-lived weight loss alongside a more permanent loss in self-confidence and trust in their judgment around food choices. The examples of topics that may be explored (based on what's relevant to you):

• assessment of your true nutritional needs (all aspects of nutrition- not just calories!) establishing eating patterns that work for you, both practically and with your health in mind
• understanding the link between metabolism and energy availability
• getting rid of the dieting mentality and focusing on life-long sustainable changes
• identifying your healthy weight range
• exploring emotional eating
• dealing with cravings/ emotional eating
• exploration of food rules and nutrition-related beliefs
• overcoming binge-restrict cycles or overeat- compensate cycles
• re-learning how to recognise and respond to hunger and fullness signals
• telling apart hunger from cravings
• Building new positive habits to achieve sustainable weight loss
• Building new nutrition and lifestyle habits that you enjoy and that feel natural to you
