This PCOS-friendly recipe is high in protein and low in carbs, which can help manage insulin levels. The lean beef provides essential B vitamins and iron, while the Swiss cheese adds a good source of calcium. The onions, cooked slowly to bring out their natural sweetness, are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. The whole grain buns add additional fiber and have a lower GI than white bread, which can help prevent blood sugar spikes.
