Why this Chocolate-Hazelnut Mousse works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Chocolate-Hazelnut Mousse works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
