Why this Shiitake and Ponzu Zucchini works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Shiitake and Ponzu Zucchini that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
