🍎 5 Simple Food Swaps to Beat Sugar Cravings with PCOS

Do you find yourself craving sugar, crashing mid-afternoon, or feeling hungry again soon after eating?
These are signs your blood sugar might be fluctuating more than it should.

In one of our latest blogs, we share five easy swaps that can help steady your energy and reduce cravings without cutting out all carbohydrates.
🥦 Swap refined carbs for colourful veggies and legumes
🥚 Choose protein-based snacks instead of sugary ones
🍓 Pair fruit with protein to balance blood sugar
🍳 Start your day with a savoury, protein-rich breakfast
🍲 Prep simple home-cooked meals instead of relying on processed options

Balancing blood sugar helps support energy, mood, and hormone balance – and these small, realistic changes can make a real difference.

In recognition of National Diabetes Month, take a moment to explore how small steps can support both your PCOS and long-term metabolic health.

Insulin resistance is one of the most common, yet often overlooked, features of PCOS.

It affects how your body handles glucose, impacts hormones, and can make symptoms like fatigue, cravings, acne, and irregular cycles worse.

Even women with a healthy weight can experience insulin resistance due to hormonal, genetic, and metabolic factors. That’s why it’s so important to take a personalised, whole-body approach to managing PCOS.

In recognition of National Diabetes Month, one of our latest blogs explores:
🍽️ Why insulin resistance develops in PCOS
⚖️ How it affects hormones, weight, and mood
🩺 Signs to look out for
✅ Practical steps to support blood sugar balance

Understanding insulin resistance is a key step in preventing future health complications, and in feeling more balanced day to day.

Stress isn't just a mental challenge; it profoundly impacts your physical health, especially if you’re living with PCOS.

When stress levels rise, the brain releases ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), which stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol and androgens. This increase in adrenal androgens can worsen PCOS symptoms, driving insulin resistance, anxiety, and hormonal imbalance.

Managing stress is therefore key to restoring balance and supporting overall well-being.

Here are three evidence-based strategies to help you manage stress effectively:
🧘‍♀️ Embrace Mindfulness Practices
Techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga activate your body’s relaxation response, reducing cortisol levels and promoting hormonal balance. Apps like Headspace or Calm offer guided sessions to support your practice.

🚶‍♀️ Engage in Gentle, Consistent Movement
Regular physical activity, such as walking or yoga, helps regulate stress hormones and improve insulin sensitivity. Choose activities you enjoy and can maintain consistently.

😴 Prioritise Quality Sleep
A consistent sleep routine supports hormone regulation. Aim for 7–9 hours of restful sleep each night, limit screen time before bed, and create a calming pre-sleep environment.

Remember, managing stress is a journey, not a destination. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference to your hormonal health.

🌱 Happy World Vegan Day!

A plant-based lifestyle can offer plenty of benefits for women with PCOS, from increasing fibre and antioxidants to supporting gut and hormone health.

But not all vegan foods are created equal. Many ready-made alternatives can be high in refined oils, sugars, or ultra-processed ingredients that make blood sugar and insulin harder to manage.

If you’re exploring vegan eating, focus on whole, nourishing foods that help keep energy stable and hormones supported. Think:
🥑 Healthy fats like avocado, tahini, and nuts
🍛 Plant proteins such as lentils, beans, and tofu
🌾 Fibre-rich carbs like quinoa, oats, and brown rice

We’re sharing one of our favourite PCOS-friendly vegan recipes in the PCOS Unlocked Facebook group, perfect for balancing blood sugar and supporting hormones naturally.

It’s not about fitting into a textbook cycle; it’s about understanding your body.

Tempted by the Halloween treats? 🍫👻 It’s hard to avoid them at this time of year.

Between trick-or-treat leftovers and office sweet bowls, it can feel almost impossible not to reach for something sugary. But, if you have PCOS, those blood sugar highs and crashes can make symptoms worse, and cravings even harder to control.

That’s why we’ve created The PCOS Sugar Solution, a free guide packed with practical tips to help you balance your blood sugar, reduce cravings, and feel more in control, without cutting out everything you love.
