Have breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack and then a light supper.

Breakfast is your most important meal because it kick-starts your metabolism, gives you an energy boost and gets you going for the day. If you don’t feel like eating when you get up, try waking up 15 minutes earlier or laying the breakfast table the evening before to motivate you.

Your snacks should be a low-GI carbohydrate mixed with a little protein. Points 3 and 5 below will explain why this is important, but for now the healthy PCOS snack suggestions opposite will help get you thinking along the right lines.

Make sure you have a good lunch and only a light supper so you eat most of your calories early in the day when you have a chance to use them up by being active. If you eat a big evening meal, then go to bed, you’ll just store away the calories, confuse your metabolic rate and put on weight.
