A short reel of Aastha Verma making omelette on a pan is supplemented with a longer post that grabs your attention. Verma revealed that her journey with PCOS, getting pregnant at 37, naturally, and her experience as a fertility nutritionist has taught her that breakfast can set the tone for one’s fertility, periods and hormones. Moreover, she claims to have helped women navigate their journey in reversing PCOS.

So, here are 5 breakfasts she recommends women to avoid to support hormones and fertility and manage PCOS.

1. Sugary Cereals

The fertility nutritionist tells women to avoid sugar cereals for breakfast as it causes blood sugar spikes and can wreak havoc on one’s hormones. Sugary cereals are processed foods and are loaded with added sugar.

2. Flavoured Yoghurt

Aastha Verma informs that flavoured yoghurt is packed with hidden sugar that can disrupt ovulation. So, for women wanting to get pregnant, it’s best to avoid flavoured yoghurt for breakfast.

3. White Bread With Jam

Since white bread with jam has neither protein nor fibre, it can cause “insulin drama.” While bread is high in carbs, jam causes blood sugar spikes, two reasons why it’s best to avoid this brekkie option.
