PCOS stands for Polycystic ovary syndrome.
Here are the 4 foods that you should avoid for women with PCOS.

-sugar raises insulin levels
-added sugars such as pure white sugars should be avoided at all costs.
-fruits like banana, berries, grapes, dates are great alternatives for sugar but they should be limited.
2. Processed White Wheat Flour
-processed white wheat flour will spike your sugars through the roof
-you'll feel crummy

-also makes your insulin levels spike
*any food with WHITE FLOUR is a big no-no.
3. Dairy
- local, organic yogurt is a great alternative if you are craving for dairies.
