Not as difficult as others make it seem, and well worth it,
By Hayley "Cynical Optimist" (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pcos Diet Book (Paperback)
This book is great! The previous review about not being able to understand what it was, is clearly written by someone who didn't bother to find out. An aubergine is an eggplant .... Canadians will probably have less of a problem than Americans as our language has many of the same terms used in this book.Yes, there are a lot of British terms used, shocking, being that this book is from England and all ... This the best PCOS book I have bought, and the one I have gotten the most use from. It's not at all difficult to locate the ingredients, and when what they are exactly may not be clear, it's only a 5 second web search away from clarity. I really like how there are sections according to what symptom you are trying to control, instead of just general. I highly reccomend this to anyone with PCOS who is seeking a more close-to-home approach of treatment that is controllable.

HOLD IT JUST A SECOND MY FELLOW AMERICAN PCOS'RS!!,

This review is from: Pcos Diet Book (Paperback)
This books sounds like everything you are looking for in a holistic and/or nutritional approach to our misdiagnosed and misunderstood syndrome, right? Think you can pick it up and follow the diet excatly and have those fantastic changes that you hear about in all of those testimonials you read about? Well please keep this in mind before you get so excited. This book was published in LONDON ENGLAND. Therefore, you can expect all sorts of fabulous recipe ingredients and menus that call for things like:175g muscavoado sugar All of the measurements are in metric and there tends to be a bit of a difference in our foods and termonologies. For this I give 2 stars (as an Amercian stuck in English measurements and food). Also, when you look at the menus as a whole, there is quite a bit of fruit (and juices) called for which concerns me because of the insulin resistance problems of PCOSrs. There is even a recipe for risotto - can we say white carbohydrate?HOWEVER, there is information on vitamins and nutrients and why you should take them and how they benefit PCOS individuals so again, I did at least give the books 2 stars. No one mentions this little British detail about the book and for American cooks, this is a pretty big detail. I would try the "Insulin Resistance Diet Book" over this one for full menus and use this book at a supplement only. Good luck!

Well done,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pcos Diet Book (Paperback)
Solid performer including herbal, diet and exericse tips. Some women with this thing have endometriosis (I do not) and other polycystic ovaries (nope) & there is a third category where everything is normal but still no conception (three's a charm ;-). Harris gives the varied ways to come to this detour and what to do to improve your chances to get to the goal (conception). I don't agree with everything she says (no salt) but it's a start and helpful way to organize your life and make the necessary changes to enhace your fertility. harris makes you realize that for the few of us for which fertility is not something that is as easy as a tussle in the back seat of a car it's about allot of organization and effort. I think that this book will help us get there. Good luck.PS I found this book very hard to read (extremely emotional).
