Pre-operative Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) vs. Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD): Surgical Impact

Obesity Surgery, 2018
Pre-operative diet may play an important role as far as patients' fitness for surgery, post-operative outcomes, and successful weight loss. Our aim was to compare surgical outcome and weight loss in two groups of patients who were offered two different pre-operative kinds of diet: very low calorie diet (VLCD) and very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD).

Effectiveness and Safety of a Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet on Weight Regain Following Bariatric Surgery

Obesity Surgery, 2021
Obesity is one of the major public health problems worldwide and bariatric surgery is considered the gold standard treatment for severe obesity. Although the literature supports the safety and efficacy of the very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in patients with obesity, there is no study analyzing the use in case of failure or weight regain after ...

Protein sparing during treatment of obesity: Ketogenic versus nonketogenic very low calorie diet

Metabolism, 1992
Although it is generally agreed that both ketogenic and nonketogenic very low calorie diets promote weight reduction, there is no consensus on a preference of one diet over the other in regard to protein sparing. In the present study, we compared the effects of isocaloric (600 kcal/d) and isonitrogenous (8 g nitrogen/d) ketogenic (low carbohydrate) and

Effect of DHA supplementation in a very low-calorie ketogenic diet in the treatment of obesity: a randomized clinical trial

Endocrine, 2016
A VLCK diet supplemented with DHA, commercially available, was tested against an isocaloric VLCK diet without DHA. The main purpose of this study was to compare the effect of DHA supplementation in classic cardiovascular risk factors, adipokine levels, and inflammation-resolving eicosanoids.

Modification of the microbiota in obese individuals following a Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet

Progress in Nutrition
Background and aim: Recent studies have shed light on the efficacy of Very Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diets (VLCKDs) in combating obesity. This review aims to explore the mechanisms by which VLCKDs influence weight loss, particularly through their interaction with the gut microbiota and modulation of the Enteric Nervous System (ENS).
