You have to open your fast with fruits and everything home cooked you can take. But stop processed, Packed and cold storage food items.

Hello
So IF is beneficial for the gut and energy levels, but if in order to maintain the fasting you are skipping/delaying breakfast it will be counterproductive. This will increase cortisol (stress hormones) which in turn will increase insulin resistance causing higher estrogen and androgen (the main problem with PCOS). Also what you eat during the fasting state is far more important- minerals like zinc, magnesium etc.
Next Steps
I know there is lot of information available everywhere but a professional would be able to guide you for you and not the general public. Feel free to set up a consult/call anytime you feel ready :)
Hope this helps you!
Take care
Regards,
Namrata
