Can lean women with PCOS who do not wish to lose weight use a low-carbohydrate diet?
Lean women can follow a low-carbohydrate eating plan, but may need to increase the number of calories consumed in order to maintain weight. A couple of the very low-carbohydrate diets listed above would not be appropriate unless one looked straight to the maintenance section. Ideally one finds a balance that that reduces carbohydrates, but keeps caloric intake to about 2,000 calories per day.
