Why Breakfast Is Important in PCOD?
Girls, when you skip or mess up your breakfast, your blood sugar and insulin levels spike, which triggers hormonal imbalances – and yes, worse acne, irregular periods, and weight gain too! 😔
Here’s why breakfast matters:
🌿 Balances insulin levels
💪 Fuels your body after overnight fasting
🧘♀️ Keeps hormones calm
🍽 Controls cravings throughout the day
> “A hormone-friendly morning plate is your first step towards healing PCOD.”
What to AVOID in PCOD Breakfast?
Say bye-bye to:
🚫 Sugary cereals, white bread, packaged foods
🚫 Fruit juices (yes babes, even packaged orange juice!)
🚫 Maida-based snacks like bhaturas, pooris
🚫 Excessive tea/coffee in the morning (limit to 1 cup)
🚫 Ready-to-eat noodles or parathas overloaded with butter
Why? These foods spike your insulin, inflame your body, and worsen PCOD symptoms.
