Why Low-GI Grains Matter in PCOS

Insulin resistance sits at the center of most PCOS presentations, which is why low-glycemic carbohydrate swaps are one of the most commonly recommended dietary changes. Millets are associated with lower glycemic response than refined grains in most comparisons.

Best Millets to Start With

Little millet and barnyard millet are the easiest rice swaps; ragi works for breakfast porridges. Start with one swap a day and build from there.

Keep Perspective

No single grain manages PCOS. Millets are one tool alongside overall diet pattern, movement, sleep and medical care, build the plan with your doctor or dietitian.
