THE BASICS OF HEALTHY EATING
- Keep sugar, refined carbs, fried foods, alcohol, smoking, aerated drinks to a minimum- they trigger inflammation which worsens PCOS symptoms
- Try consuming moderate size meals with gaps (breakfast, lunch and dinner) than smaller frequent meals through the day. This reduces insulin spikes and manages blood sugar more effectively
- Eat protein for every meal. For vegetarians - chickpeas, paneer, tofu, dals, sattu powder, edamame. For non vegetarians - eggs, chicken, fish, lean meat
- Keep your bowels in check. Make sure you defecate at the same time every day. Not passing motions leads to toxic
- Replace your morning tea/ coffee with Herbal PCOS Tea. Caffeine can trigger your hormones which is why we’ve created this blend of natural herbs to give you the perfect start for the day
- Follow portion control. Eat 3/4th of your capacity. Eating till our taste buds are satiated only leaves you bloated, tired and lethargic. Mindful eating has proven to increase longevity and improve energy
- Veggies are your best friends. Make sure you eat 5 servings through the day- smoothies, cooked, sauteed, soups- however you like
- Carbs are not your enemy but be mindful of the form you eat it in. Complex carbs > refined carbs. Always. For example - vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes are great. Keep the cookies, brownies, ice creams, pizzas, pastas, burgers to a minimum
- Good fats are essential for making hormones. Include healthy fats like nuts and seeds, ghee (in moderation), fatty fish, eggs
- Follow the 80-20 rule. PCOS has to be managed throughout our lives so getting rid of foods completely may not always be possible. Eat right 80% of the time and the remaining 20% have fun!
