Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted and heterogeneous disorder, linked with notable reproductive, metabolic, psychological outcomes. During adolescence, key components of PCOS treatment involve weight loss achieved through lifestyle dietary interventions, subsequently pursued by pharmacological or surgical therapies. Nutritional interventions represent the first-line therapeutic approach in adolescents affected PCOS, but different kinds protocols exist, so it necessary to clarify effectiveness benefits most well-known nutritional approaches. We provided comprehensive review current literature concerning definition, pathophysiology, options, highlighting strategies, particularly those related high-fat diets. The proposed literature, such as ketogenic diet (KD), appear provide patients terms control metabolic parameters. Among types KD studies, very low-calorie diets (VLCKD), can be considered an effective intervention for short-term PCOS. It rapidly leads alongside improvements body composition profile.
