Why this Thyroid Health: Kelp and Shiitake Soup for PCOS works for PCOS
At 20g of carbohydrates per serving, this Thyroid Health: Kelp and Shiitake Soup for PCOS 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.
