Reheated turkey, gravy and cranberry sauce is often even more delectable the day after than it tastes today. Eaten in moderation, it can be a healthy fun meal if you’re watching your weight to better control the symptoms of your PCOS.
But don’t fall into the trap of stuffing yourself with left-overs before they spoil. If you do, it can be a recipe for weight-gain disaster and you’ll also becomes bored with the flavor.
Instead, if you’re having guests today, send them home with doggie bags and then refrigerate enough of your left-overs for another sit-down meal tomorrow or delicious sandwiches and salads. That way, you’ll use up the food and won’t be tempted to pile up a plate every time you open the fridge over the coming days.

Many women with PCOS who are watching their weight choose white meat because of its lower calorie content, though the difference with dark meat is, in fact, minuscule.
According to the Department of Agriculture, an ounce of boneless, skinless turkey breast, for example, contains about 46 calories and 1 gram of fat, compared with roughly 50 calories and 2 grams of fat for an ounce of boneless, skinless thigh.
It is true that dark meat contains saturated fat. But there are also healthy fats in the dark variety, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Compared with white meat, dark also contains more iron, zinc, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamins B6 and B12.
Both white and dark have less fat than most cuts of red meat, however, so you can’t really go wrong with the former, provided you eat only moderate amounts.

Fattening holiday goodies can make it hard to stick to a healthy weight loss regime that helps better management of your polycystic ovarian syndrome symptoms.
But British researchers have discovered that a 15-minute walk is a great way to overcome food cravings, especially for that most tempting and addictive of treats, namely chocolate.
Neuro-scientists believe there are common processes in the reward centers of the brain between drug and food addictions. Exercise affects brain chemicals that help to regulate both mood and the desire for unhealthy food – an important discovery because 97% of all women experience food cravings at some time or other.
Accumulating 30 minutes of daily physical activity with, say, two separate 15-minute brisk walks not only boosts general health and reduces cravings but greatly helps weight loss, too.

If you’re losing or controlling weight to better manage your PCOS symptoms, drinking alcohol can mean the difference between great results … and zero results.
While a glass of red wine with dinner might be good for your heart, more than one glass of wine or any other alcoholic beverage per night over the holidays, or anytime, can wreak havoc with your fitness goals.
Cocktails, especially, are loaded with sugar, so it’s little wonder that they can wreck even the benefits of eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. For example, a single, standard-size Margarita can have up to 700 calories – more calories, in fact, than a two-liter bottle of soda. Caramba!
