Objective: Objective: To report the results of a nutritional intervention based on the Brazilian Dietary Guidelines, focusing on reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods in adult women recently diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Method: Descriptive report conducted with three women with a clinical and/or laboratory diagnosis of the syndrome who consumed ultra-processed foods. Nutritional monitoring took place over three months, with evaluation and reassessment of dietary and anthropometric data, nutritional guidance, meal planning, and the application of validated questionnaires. Results: High consumption of ultra-processed foods, low consumption of fruits and vegetables, and inadequate consumption of macronutrients and micronutrients were observed. After the intervention, improvements were noted in the gastrointestinal tract, fiber intake, menstrual cycle, weight loss, mood, and sleep quality. Conclusion: Nutritional monitoring associated with dietary re-education contributes to improving the quality of life of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
