Why this Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole works for PCOS
Eating a substantial breakfast like this Slow Cooker Overnight Breakfast Casserole is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
