When I was first diagnosed with PCOS and pre-diabetes, I felt completely overwhelmed. There was so much to change, and I barely had time to cook, let alone figure out meals that wouldn’t make things worse. I wish I could’ve told my past self that there are quick and easy recipes out there that don’t take hours or require crazy skills—meals like this cabbage egg kimbap that give me peace of mind without spiking my blood sugar🍳🥬🌿 So if you’re in the same boat, feeling lost or unsure where to start, I see you. It’s not easy, but it can be simple. This kimbap has become my go-to for when I need something filling, high-protein, and quick! ⭐️ Sparky’s quick & easy high protein, low carb meal: Cabbage Egg Kimbap (makes 3 kimbap rolls) 🍙 3 Seaweed Sheets 🍳 Cabbage Egg Omelette: 1/4 of a cabbage thinly sliced, 6 eggs, 1 small carrot thinly sliced, 1/2 tsp salt (cook 1/3 of the batter at a time to make 3 omelets) 🥬 Veggies of Choice - I did lettuce, cucumber, & avocado Optional: brush of sesame oil on top + sprinkle of sesame seeds (I love eating it with kimchi on side!) What’s PCOS? PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a condition that affects how a woman’s ovaries function. It’s a common condition affecting many women. It causes an imbalance in hormones, which can disrupt your menstrual cycle. Beyond that, PCOS can lead to other issues like weight gain, persistent acne, unwanted hair growth in areas like the face or chest, and even hair thinning on your scalp. It also affects how your body handles insulin, which can make managing blood sugar levels more difficult—this is why I’ve had to make significant changes to my diet and lifestyle. PCOS isn’t something that just goes away, but with the right approach, it can be managed effectively. Disclaimer: this is my personal experience with managing PCOS & pre-diabetes, not medical advice.

Cutting out rice completely? As a Korean, that felt impossible😅 When I got diagnosed with pre-diabetes, I thought giving up rice was the answer. But instead, I found ways to keep it in my diet while staying mindful of my blood sugar🍚✨ It wasn’t about removing the foods I love, but learning how to make them work for me What’s PCOS?

Finally found PCOS-friendly snacks that work for me! The 2nd one is my favorite right now🫶😭 It’s not about getting rid of snacks completely, but finding snacks that work for your body. Balance is key❤️ spicy tuna dip - can of tuna - some sriracha - some mayo (I love @Chosen Foods it uses high-quality avocado oil instead of seed oils) - salt to taste (I only use redmonds real salt) “little savory treat” popcorn - popcorn - melted butter (I did 2 tbsp for half a bag of plain popcorn) - generous amount of furikake (I got mine from @Trader Joe's) - salt to taste my “sweet” (yet high protein) treat - goguma/yellow flesh sweet potatoes (they have them at @Whole Foods Market) - cottage cheese (I use the lactose free one from @Good Culture and it’s my favorite) Disclaimer: this is my personal experience with managing PCOS & pre-diabetes, not medical advice.
