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

1 large handful cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 handful mint leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
8 garlic cloves, crushed (about 1/2 cup)
1 red chile, finely chopped (keep the seeds if you like it hot)
Zest and juice of 4 limes
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 (6 1/2 –7-pound) pork loin

Instructions

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl, reserving 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Put the pork loin in a large ziplock bag with the marinade, seal and massage the marinade into the pork. Put the bag in the fridge and marinate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Heat reserved​ 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Remove the pork from the bag and allow the excess marinade to drip away. Cook the pork, turning frequently, for 5 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides.
Put the pan in the oven and cook for 7 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the meat reads 143 –149 °F. Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
