1. People who have PCOS cannot get pregnant. This is not true. There are a few issues that can be taken care of medically. Just because you have PCOS doesn't mean that you can't get pregnant. Talk to a gynaecologist to get a solution.
2. People should try all kinds of fad diets for weight loss. This is the biggest myth. Fad diets are bad diet trends and can make you nutrition deficient. Instead try to follow a well planned nutritionist's recommended diet plan.
3. People with PCOS cannot consume gluten. There is a lot of scientific work going on with gluten and dairy. Gluten is basically a protein which is seen in certain kinds of cereals.
