However, current lifestyle recommendations may not be appropriate for all individuals with PCOS.

Descriptive statistics were calculated. Qualitative data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Joint displays were used for mixed methods integration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two hundred sixty-seven participants (77.7% white, 86.0% non-Hispanic, mean age 29.7\u2009\u00b1\u20095.1\u2009years) were included in the analysis. Participants reported interest in a lifestyle program (66.3%) consisting of individual and group (57.7%) sessions, delivered in-person and remotely (46.2%). Although a registered dietitian was the preferred provider to administer the intervention (80.5%), many participants (54.9%) desired an interdisciplinary team. Interest in intuitive eating was high (mean score 7.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.7, scale 1\u201310, higher scores indicate higher interest). The average scores for acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of an intuitive eating intervention were 3.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.9, 3.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0, and 3.8\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8, respectively (scale 1\u20135, higher scores indicate higher acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility). While intuitive eating was perceived to have several benefits, concerns over letting go of food rules and navigating cravings were heard. A need for an individualized approach, with practical guidance, education, and peer support was identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Individuals with PCOS prefer an individualized lifestyle approach. Intuitive eating may be an acceptable weight-neutral lifestyle intervention for PCOS. However, concerns over implementing intuitive eating should be considered in the design of an intervention.
