Why this PCOS Vegan French Recipes: Lunch - Vegan French Onion Soup works for PCOS

The 30g of carbohydrates here come paired with 5g of fibre, which slows glucose absorption and produces a flatter post-meal blood sugar curve. Fibre is one of the most under-rated tools for PCOS: it feeds gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids linked to improved insulin sensitivity, and it modestly lowers circulating androgens by binding bile acids in the gut.

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this PCOS Vegan French Recipes: Lunch - Vegan French Onion Soup 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.
