No one talks about how hard it is being a foodie with PCOS. 🤍

As someone whose life literally revolves around local food… I thought my diagnosis meant I’d have to give that part of myself up.

Turns out, I didn’t.

I just had to learn how to eat differently.

I’m still supporting local restaurants. I’m still trying amazing food. I’m just choosing meals that work with my body instead of against it.

For me, that means prioritizing protein and avoiding foods that trigger inflammation. Right now I’ve cut out gluten, bread, tortillas, milk, and cheese. I also took a break from rice and potatoes, and I’m slowly introducing them back to see how my body responds.

This journey has taught me that food restrictions don’t mean your life or your love for food has to stop.

Here are some of my favorite local spots I’ve been eating at lately that make this lifestyle so much easier. 💛

If you’re a local restaurant and offer PCOS-friendly meals (or would like to!), I’d love to hear from you. And if you have PCOS, tag your favorite local restaurant below so we can build a guide for women in the RGV. ✨
