Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

3 (11 oz) packages frozen dinner rolls
2 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1/8 teaspoon
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
3 to 3 cloves garlic, minced and divided
