Hey, beautiful!
Now that we’ve talked about the four types of PCOS, let’s dive into something that’s deeply personal to me — that constant hunger that just doesn’t seem to go away, no matter how much or how well you eat.
As someone living with Insulin Resistance PCOS, and who was once at risk of prediabetes, I get it. I eat a full plate and still feel like there’s a funnel emptying my stomach! Ever been there?
I try to eat balanced meals — protein, healthy fats like avocado, fruits, and just a small portion of carbs — but sometimes, it still doesn’t work. The hunger lingers, and you find yourself reaching for those very same carbs you’re supposed to avoid.
And let’s not even start on the shakiness… that dizzy, low-sugar feeling that makes you crave something quick and comforting (hello, carbs again!).
Honestly? It’s a rollercoaster.
But hey — to every beautiful, healthier, and stronger woman reading this — we’ve got this.
Right now, I want you to say this out loud with me:
💛 “I am blessed with a beautiful and strong body that is fighting for me through this journey.
My mind and spirit are powerful.
I will be alright.”
Now, let’s talk about something that changed the game for me:
Mindful eating.
It’s Not Just What You Eat, It’s How You Eat It
Here’s how I began to regain control of my hunger and feel fuller after meals:
🌿 Step 1: Eat Mindfully
See your mealtime as an act of self-love.
✨ Give yourself just 20 minutes to pause.
✨ Put your phone away — yes, where your hand can’t reach it.
✨ Say a prayer of gratitude for your meal.
It may sound small, but it puts your body and mind at ease before eating.
🥦 Step 2: Start with Vegetables
Veggies are rich in fiber, and when you start your meal with them, they slow down the digestion of carbs and sugar. This keeps your blood sugar levels more stable — and helps prevent cravings and hunger spikes later on.
🍗 Step 3: Follow with Protein
Protein is a hunger-fighter. It helps you feel full longer, supports your muscles, and keeps your insulin response steady. Try lean meats, eggs, beans, lentils, or tofu — whatever works for your body and diet.
🍠 Step 4: End with Carbs
Yep, you heard that right. Ending your meal with carbs (instead of starting with them) helps prevent that post-meal sugar crash. Keep it small and choose whole, slow-digesting options like brown rice, sweet potatoes, or quinoa.
💚 My Little Secret: Homemade Green Juice
Okay, confession time — I drink juice throughout my meals… but not the kind from the store!
I make my own green juice with a touch of ginger and lemon. It’s refreshing, supports digestion, and honestly, it’s helped me shed some weight over the months.
🥤 In my next post, I’ll share the exact recipe and how to pair it with your meals to keep you feeling full and nourished.
And finally…
💧 Drink water after your meal.
It’s simple, but it’s powerful. Water supports digestion and helps your body absorb nutrients better.
