This PCOS-friendly stir fry is a great way to incorporate low-GI foods into your diet. Kelp noodles are a great source of iodine, which is important for thyroid health. The vegetables provide a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and potassium. The sesame oil and seeds add healthy fats, which can help regulate blood sugar levels. This meal is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Why this PCOS Friendly Kelp Noodle Stir Fry - Low-Carb Sesame Ginger Kelp Noodles works for PCOS

The 20g of carbohydrates here come paired with 6g 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.

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.
