How can a keto diet help with PCOS?

A keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that has been shown to be effective for weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity. Insulin resistance is a common problem in women with PCOS, and it can lead to weight gain, acne, and other health problems.

A keto diet can help to improve insulin sensitivity by reducing the amount of carbs you eat. When you eat fewer carbs, your body produces less insulin. This can help to reduce weight gain, acne, and other PCOS symptoms.
