Why this Pistachio Bars works for PCOS

A PCOS-friendly snack like this Pistachio Bars should include protein or fat, not carbohydrates alone. Carb-only snacks (fruit, crackers, granola bars) spike blood sugar then crash it within 60-90 minutes, leaving you hungrier and more reactive to whatever comes next.
