Combining adherence to the 'fertility diet' with maintaining a healthy BMI (20-24.9) and engaging in vigorous physical activity (≥30 min/day) is associated with a 69% lower risk of ovulatory disorder infertility.
To maximize your chances of conceiving without ovulatory issues, aim for a healthy weight (BMI 20-24.9), engage in at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise daily, and follow a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, vegetable proteins, high-fat dairy, iron, and multivitamins, while limiting trans fats, animal proteins, and high-glycemic carbohydrates.
A combination of five or more low-risk lifestyle factors, including diet, weight control, and physical activity was associated with a 69% lower risk of ovulatory disorder infertility and an estimated population attributable risk of 66% (95% confidence interval 29 – 86%).
Why this rating
Prospective cohort study with large sample size, but observational design limits causal inference.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
