Why this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Immune-Boosting Beef and Lemon Broth works for PCOS
With 30g of protein per serving (about 48% of calories), this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Immune-Boosting Beef and Lemon Broth sits at the top end of the 25-35g per-meal range that the 2023 International PCOS Guideline recommends for managing insulin resistance and supporting lean mass. Higher-protein meals also blunt the glucose response when carbohydrates are included, which matters for women with PCOS because chronic insulin elevation drives androgen excess and irregular cycles.
At 5g of carbohydrates per serving, this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Immune-Boosting Beef and Lemon Broth is on the lower-carb end, which suits women with PCOS who have confirmed insulin resistance or who notice strong post-meal energy crashes. Pair lower-carb meals like this with a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables to keep fibre intake up.
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
