… and 5 that you should start!
Candies in general pose the #1 threat to PCOS.
Just ten jelly gumdrops (ten!) has 35.6 grams of carbs contained within their gelatinous composition, meaning with the most innocent grazing
gestures that most people are susceptible to in social situations can derail your body in just minutes.
1. CANDIES
Watch out for the hidden sugar in dried fruit!
While the average apple contains 14 grams of carbs (almost 75% of your daily permitted total in order to keep ketosis intact), a 60 gram serving
of dried apple slices weighs in at a diet busting 56.1 grams! So gather up these “healthy” snacks from your pantry that you had bought in
previous weeks and send them packing to the compost pile.
2. DRIED FRUIT
3. MOST BREAKFAST CEREALS
More Sugar!
Frosted rice crispies have an eye popping 91.3 grams of carbs per 100 gram serving, while many other favourite brands have at least 23 grams of carbs per 100 gram serving, which is more than enough evidence for
you banish this PCOS-in-a-box breakfast food from the tribal council!

both clear goals for women suffering from PCOS.
