The Claim
Caloric restriction reduces androgen levels, improves insulin sensitivity, and restores ovulatory cycles in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), making it a potential first-line treatment.

Eating fewer calories might help women with a health condition called PCOS by lowering certain hormone levels, making their bodies respond better to sugar, and helping them have regular periods.
