Beef+Lean Beef as Part of a Healthy Meal Plan in Adolescents With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)/Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)

Participants randomized to usual lifestyle will continue with their usual lifestyle/ diet. Participants will undergo all scheduled study procedures. Upon completion of the 12-week of usual lifestyle, participants randomized to the delayed onset control group will be offered one month of the dietary intervention. The delayed intervention is optional.

Adolescents will be instructed to consume a minimum of 1 (3oz) serving per day of cooked unprocessed, lean (<10% fat) beef (21 oz/week) for 12 weeks. To facilitate adoption, the intervention will be offered at the household level, but it is not a requirement. The intervention is a multi-modal behavior change intervention with three overarching components: modifying beef intake, consuming beef in healthy meals, and the research team purchasing the beef needed for the intervention. To facilitate adoption of lean beef as part of a healthy diet, a study RDN will meet with the participant and at least one representative parent/guardian at bi-weekly check-ins to provide tailored dietary support and develop an implementation plan. A financial supplement of $100/month will be provided offset grocery costs.
