Meals for PMOS (PCOS) in Lagos
PMOS, still widely known as PCOS, is closely tied to how your body handles insulin. Food that keeps insulin steadier can help with weight, energy and cravings. Our plates are built for exactly that.
Plates for pmos (pcos) this week
Calories, protein, carbs and fat per plate, worked out by our dietitians.
Why food matters for pmos (pcos)
- Many people with PMOS have some degree of insulin resistance, which makes weight easier to gain and harder to lose.
- Meals with steady carbohydrate, plenty of protein and fibre help keep insulin lower through the day.
- Even a modest amount of weight loss can improve cycles and symptoms for many people.

Protein at every meal

Lower GI carbs
Slower carbohydrates and whole grains instead of the fastest starches.
Fibre from vegetables and beans
Generous vegetables and legumes, which help both blood sugar and fullness.
Calories on the card

Questions about pmos (pcos) and food
PMOS is the newer name for what many people still call PCOS. It reflects that the condition is about hormones and metabolism, not just the ovaries. Our plates suit you whichever name your doctor uses.
There is no single diet, but balanced, lower GI meals with good protein and fibre are the foundation of most dietitian plans for PMOS.
Our plates are calorie counted and filling, which makes a steady deficit easier. Pair them with our weight loss or diabetes friendly filters.
Fuel meals support a healthy diet and are not a treatment or a substitute for medical advice. If you take medication for blood sugar or blood pressure, are pregnant, or have kidney disease, speak to your doctor or a dietitian before changing how you eat.
