A must-listen if you have an eating disorder with your PCOS Hello everyone,I missed the live version of this interview but stayed up until midnight listening to it.

While shopping at Trader Joes the other day, I stumbled upon an amazing product!Trader Joes Five Seed Almond BarsThey are made with flax, poppy, sunflower, sesame and pumpkin seeds and combined with almonds, cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar and honey to create these soft, chewy and delicious cookie barsThey taste amazing, but what is so wonderful is that each 110 calorie bar has 53mg EPA and DHA. The omega 3 sources seem to be from the flax as well as Omega-3 refined menhaden fish oil (with tocoperols)If you live by a Trader Joes you just have to try it!
