Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

2 large ripe peaches
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
4 slices country-style bread
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
4 ounces blue cheese (such as Roquefort or Saint Agur), room temperature
2 cups (loosely packed) trimmed purslane or baby arugula
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Using the tip of a paring knife, score an X in the bottom of each peach. Cook in a large saucepan of boiling water just until skins begin to peel back where cut, about 1 minute.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Peel; cut over a small bowl into wedges, collecting juices. Add lemon juice and honey and toss to combine.
Toast bread, brush with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt. Spread cheese on toast and top with peaches, leaving juices behind. Whisk 4 tablespoons oil into juices. Toss purslane with enough dressing to lightly coat in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Arrange over toasts.
