Abstract:
Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction diets have been becoming increasingly popular over the years, resulting in dramatic weight loss and an improvement in metabolic disorders. Obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes are the risk factors for many gynecologic morbidities such as uterine leiomyoma, endometrial polyps, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. There is evidence suggesting that the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease is similar to that seen in many causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. We aim to explain how cardiovascular disease risk factor reduction with the use of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction may prevent and potentially treat these gynecologic disorders.
