Wow! Our Austin inCYSTer Christine Marquette has had her nose to the grindstone! She's just released 3 e-books, all about PCOS!
E-book #1 The Quick Start Guide to PCOS
This guide is intended to teach basics to women newly diagnosed with PCOS, people who are supporting a loved one with PCOS, and anyone who has an interest in PCOS and does not know much about it. In it you will learn the definition of PCOS, signs and symptoms of PCOS, how PCOS is diagnosed, what causes PCOS, treatment of PCOS (including the importance of identifying your treatment team, useful laboratory values, medications, complementary and alternative medicine), and nutrition and exercise basics.
E-book #2 The Nutrition Guide to PCOS
This book is the second in a three part series of guidebooks intended to help women with PCOS manage their syndrome. In this book we will review the nutrition basics covered in The Quick Start Guide to PCOS. Next, we will move on to identifying appropriate portion sizes of fats/proteins/carbohydrates, how to count carbohydrates, how to read food labels, and how to plan meals and snacks. We'll wrap up with some sample menus, snack ideas, and recipes. In the resources section you will also find some blank food logs and menu planning worksheets.
E-book 3 The Supplement Guide to PCOS
This is the final book in a three part series of guidebooks intended to help women with PCOS manage their syndrome. It covers supplements in each of the following categories: vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other supplements. Each nutrient is explained along with the potential benefit for PCOS.
Rumor has it there's a fourth one in the making, about vegetarian eating and PCOS. You can keep up with Chris' work on her Facebook page, entitled Marquette Nutrition and Fitness.
Way to go Chris!
