Why this PCOS Breakfast Toast - Smashed Avocado and Smoked Salmon on Ezekiel Bread works for PCOS

The 19.8g of carbohydrates here come paired with 7.1g 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.

Eating a substantial breakfast like this PCOS Breakfast Toast - Smashed Avocado and Smoked Salmon on Ezekiel Bread is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
