✨PCOS & carb cravings!✨Ever feel like you crave carbs alllllll the time? Good news, there are filling & satisfying ways to help if you have PCOS & insulin resistance!

Is the answer to cut out carbs completely?

🔴For many people, this isn't sustainable long-term.

🔴Plus, people with PCOS are more likely to develop disordered eating behaviors. So, significant restriction of an entire food group (or other strict diet rules) may lead to disordered eating habits (such as bingeing on a bunch of carbs, then restricting, then feeling ashamed, & repeating the cycle).

***On a personal note: This is how I developed an eating disorder when I was very young & it took years to realize what was happening & ultimately recover. So, for many reasons, I don't recommend my clients eliminate carbs completely.

👉Therefore, instead of banishing carbs & punishing ourselves, let's consider pairing carbs with foods that can help fight those cravings, such as:

✅ Fiber
✅ Protein
✅ Healthy fats

***And to be clear, when I say "carbs," I mean those whole, unprocessed carbs packed with nutrients, like whole grains, fruits, potatoes, dark chocolate (YES... chocolate), quinoa, rice, etc.

🔴However, this doesn't mean we can't still enjoy those sweets and salty treats we love from time to time!

🔴This also isn't a free pass to go hog-wild on some cake and ice cream because you had some peanut butter earlier lol. Foods high in sugar can still make any low-grade chronic inflammation in our bodies worse. So, let's still keep those suckers to a minimum & consider having a filling & satisfying protein-packed meal with fiber prior to indulging.
