Low-Carb Diet
Also known as: Low carbohydrate diet, ketogenic diet, LCHF
A dietary approach reducing carbohydrate intake, typically to below 130g/day (moderate low-carb) or below 50g/day (ketogenic). Used for weight management, blood glucose control, and reduction of menopausal weight gain and insulin resistance. Some evidence for benefit in PCOS and type 2 diabetes.

How does Low-Carb Diet work?
Reducing dietary carbohydrates lowers postprandial insulin secretion and improves insulin sensitivity. Promotes fat oxidation and, at ketogenic levels, switches primary fuel source to ketone bodies. Reduces visceral adiposity (which increases post-menopause). May improve metabolic markers including triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and blood glucose.
