Check out other books first - By: SJSmith, 19 Dec 2007 
If you've just been diagnosed check out other books BEFORE you buy this one. This is a great book but it's quite complex & off-putting by the sheer size alone.
There are 3 parts to the book (with 12 chaptersin total): nutritional healing for PCOS, tackling your problems & prepare for success.
Whilst it is a great book my life wouldn't have been missing anything if I hadn't have bought it. The appendix is extremely useful as it summarises a lot of information that is available on the internet. Likewise, the suggested reading also provides useful material.
don't buy both the PCOS handbook and the diet book - By: the mousie, 05 Aug 2007 
The "Ultimate PCOS Handbook" & the PCOS diet book by the same authors contain very similar content so it is a real waste of money to buy both. Buy one or the other (I think I like the handbook a little better than the diet book but they are so similar that there is not much to choose between them), but don't bother buying both.
Very Helpful - By: Dorothy Allan, 26 Feb 2007 
I found this book very helpful & informative & it definitely helped me control my PCOS symptoms even long enough to successfully fall pregnant.
wonderful - By: Nicky, 20 Dec 2006 Basically, I was only diagnosed with PCOS a few months ago & I didn't really act on it, my doctor didn't even really know anything about it & he gave me a couple of sheets that he had about PCOS, I went back to the doctors & he did refer me to a specialist, she was a gynecologist but she actually specialisedin PCOS. They gave me a few pointers on how I should be eating a low GI diet, gave me the option of going on the pill (which I declined) blah blah blah, but really I don't tend to actually eat very unhealthily anyway & I do a reasonable amount of excercise,but yet I am about a stone & a half over weight, for a anyone else, the diet I eat & the exercise I do, they would be a go0d weight I would imagine, as all of my friends eat worse than i do & don't do anywhere near as much exercise yet they are all like a size 8. I bought this bo0k & another bo0k by colette harris & dr adam carey which was just about PCOS because I felt that what the professionals had told me & what I had found on the internet wasn't quite enough, & both of the bo0ks really helped with my understanding of what PCOS actually is, & how I can work on it. Things are lo0king up at last!
so yes it is a must have for anyone experiencing PCOS because this bo0k will help to combat the symptoms so it will help you fight against acne, obesity, irregular periods, excess hair, hair loss all that jazz.
Brilliant book, buy it now! - By: , 01 Mar 2005 A really helpful, informative & surprising book. Very practical with useful explanations of what works & why. Unlike some other PCOS diet books, it doesn't demand rapid & difficult lifestyle changes; the message seems to be "everythingin moderation", which is very encouraging. Altogether a brilliant buy & an invaluable toolin the ongoing battle with PCOS.
