Notes
This is a low-carb recipe supporting blood sugar balance. Keeping blood sugar levels stable helps decrease insulin levels and fight inflammation, which are common causes driving PCOS.
Chicken is a great source of protein for women with PCOS, since it's full of essential amino acids - a complete protein source - and has a low insulin response. When buying chicken, opt for hormone and anti-biotic free chicken cuts.
Coconut oil supports the health of your gut and thyroid and speeds up your metabolism. It helps fight inflammation and its saturated fat is used in hormone production.
