What a PCOS plate should include
Most Pakistani PCOS meals work best when the plate is built around protein first, then fiber-rich vegetables, then a measured portion of roti, rice, oats, fruit, or potatoes. This lowers the glucose spike from the same foods without making the diet socially impossible.
- Protein at each main meal: eggs, chicken, fish, daal, yogurt, paneer, or lean meat.
- High-fiber carbohydrates: whole wheat roti, daal, chana, beans, oats, and controlled rice portions.
- Anti-inflammatory fats: nuts, seeds, olive oil, fish, and measured desi ghee where appropriate.
