You should limit your fruit intake, but don't cut it out entirely. Focus on fruits that are lower in sugar, like berries and melons, and avoid the higher sugar fruits, like grapes and oranges. Try to get more of your fiber from vegetables instead. And don't drink fruit juices -- they are almost as bad for you as sodas, and have tons of calories! You're better off eating the whole fruit instead.

You should try to eat a HEALTHY carb diet, meaning cut out all refined carbohydrates -- don't eat white breads, only whole grain, don't eat a lot of white rice, try brown instead, eat sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, don't put sugar on anything. Look at the South Beach Diet. Even if you don't follow the diet, the principles are really good. There is also a good book on nutrition for PCOSers, called The PCOS Diet Book, by Colette Harris.
