The problem
Why Generic Diet Advice Doesn't Work for PCOS
Managing PCOS (renamed in 2026 as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS, by an international process) through food doesn't mean giving up Indian food. Most PCOS diet advice online is written for Western diets and doesn't translate to a plate of dal-chawal or roti-sabzi, or to how much of each you should eat.
What Groteins does, honestly
Indian guidelines, without made-up PCOS rules
Indian government guidelines give no separate diet figures for PCOS, so Groteins does not invent any. What your plan does is get the basics right for your body, using Indian food and Indian guidelines:
| Part of the plan | How it is set |
|---|---|
| Calories | ICMR-NIN 2020 equation for Indians, your activity and your goal. With Fat loss and a BMI above the Indian healthy range, worked out for a healthy body weight |
| Protein | About 1 g per kg, within 10 to 15% of calories (ICMR-NIN 2020, DGI 2024) |
| Fibre | About 15 g per 1,000 kcal (ICMR-NIN 2020) |
| Oil | A daily limit for your activity level (ICMR-NIN 2020) |
| PCOS note | Added to your plan, with a reminder to follow your doctor's advice |

Frequently asked questions
Is there a special PCOS diet in this plan?
No, and we say so plainly. Indian government guidelines (ICMR-NIN and the Dietary Guidelines for Indians 2024) give no separate diet figures for PCOS, and Groteins does not invent them. Your plan follows the general ICMR-NIN guidance for your body, and adds a PCOS note reminding you to follow your doctor's advice.
Then why use it for PCOS?
Because the basics still matter: calories worked out for your own body, enough protein, about 15 g fibre per 1,000 kcal, a daily oil limit and real Indian meals in katori portions. If you choose Fat loss and your BMI is above the healthy range for Indians, calories are set for a healthy body weight so you move towards it gradually.
Is PCOS now called PMOS?
Yes. In May 2026 an international process renamed polycystic ovary syndrome to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). It is the same condition, and you can tick PCOS in our form for either name.
I take medicines for PCOS. Is that okay?
Tick the medicines you take in the form and show the plan to your doctor or gynaecologist before you follow it. Groteins never suggests medicines or supplements.
What if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Choose that in the form. Pregnancy and breastfeeding rules from ICMR-NIN 2020 then set your calories and protein, and no calorie cut is ever applied.
How much does it cost?
₹49 for one plan, valid for 30 days.
