Carrot Cake Overnight Oats 🥕 perfect breakfast to meal prep for your follicular phase - or any time if you’re looking for a great breakfast recipe! Follicular Phase: ✨What’s going on in your body? Your metabolism is slowing down. Eat lighter foods that support liver function and detoxification to prevent estrogen buildup in the gut. Probiotic-rich food is important to help your gut microbiome at this time. ✨What to focus on during this phase? Focus on foods that are easy to digest and high in fiber. The nutrient focus shifts to vitamin B, vitamin C and zinc to strengthen the release of the egg and chances of implantation in the ovulation phase. This is also a great time to increase your work outs, so you’ll want to eat lots of protein! ✨What micronutrients does your body need? - Omega-3s to lower FSH levels (high FSH levels can lead to PCOS) and reduce inflammation - Phytoestrogen to reduce the effectiveness of estrogen - Magnesium, because it is at it’s lowest levels during follicular - Fiber to help our bodies flush out excess estrogen - Zinc to help our body get ready for progesterone production ✨What foods in this breakfast are good for the follicular phase? Oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, carrots, cashew milk, nut butters, greek yogurt, and pumpkin seeds #cyclesyncing #follicularphasefoods #follicularphaserecipe #cyclesyncingrecipes #hormonebalancingdiet #pcosdiet #overnightoats #carrotcakeovernightoats #highproteinbreakfast
