This episode describes how we alter recipes to make them more blood sugar friendly. If you are interested in cooking and want your efforts to pay off, head over to the recipes tab in the PCOS App and choose something to cook today.
In this episode I discuss how I found an awesome food photographer who also has PCOS - so she is so invested in this process and the end product.
We hope that when you cook these in your own kitchen that they taste as good as I think they do, that they look pretty good (mine look nothing like what Lauranne can produce) and that you feel great after eating. Each of the recipes have been standardized to help you balance blood sugar. We have increased protein in almost all the recipes and have increased fiber where we can. We do this by increasing the eggs, yogurt, meat, etc. We have also tried to incorporate more vegetables and other fiber rich foods.
In the recipe tab of this app you will always see two sections for each recipe. "Why this recipe works for blood sugar balance" & "Why this recipe works in the kitchen". This is just as important to read as the ingredients and instructions. Reading these parts of each recipe will start to teach you how you can improve your recipes on your own. For instance take grandma's famous chicken noodle soup and figure out how to make a more hormone balanced and dare I say, "healthier" version of.
After listening to this episode, head over to the recipe tab, choose a recipe to try and cook and post on your instagram tagging: @thepcosapp and @pcosfertilitynutrition. You can also hop into the community section and post on the wall to inspire other gals too.
