Obesity in the United States is pervasive and associated with morbidity, mortality, and increased health care costs. For women, obesity may affect stages of life including early menarche, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause as a result of hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance. The insulin-carbohydrate model of obesity has been proposed as an explanation for growing obesity rates and can be used to target weight loss strategies by increasing insulin sensitivity. Together, low-carbohydrate dietary patterns along with intermittent fasting may help individuals with insulin resistance not only lose weight but also increase their insulin sensitivity. The purpose of this article is to review the epidemiology and physiology of obesity and the indicators for health while outlining strategies for nurses and other clinicians to use when counseling women who are following a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting for weight management.
