The premenopausal and menopausal periods lead the way to many changes in a woman's life. Weight maintenance is often an issue, even when it never was before, abdominal fat starts to increase as well as the risk for diabetes and heart disease to about the same level as that of our male counterparts. And then there's Osteoporosis. A Low Carb Diet and Intermittent Fasting can help. This way of eating will address all of these issues as well as help with energy levels and malnutrition associated with increasing age. Important to note is that recent studies have shown that saturated fat is actually beneficial to older women and is associated with decreased morbidity and mortality. Your plan is moderate to strict LCHF.
