Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet: A Potential Application in the Treatment of Hypercortisolism Comorbidities. [PDF]

Nutrients, 2022
A very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) is characterized by low daily caloric intake (less than 800 kcal/day), low carbohydrate intake (<50 g/day) and normoproteic (1–1.5 g of protein/kg of ideal body weight) contents. It induces a significant weight loss and an improvement in lipid parameters, blood pressure, glycaemic indices and insulin ...

Impact of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet on metabolic and microbiota outcomes in post-bariatric patients and bariatric-Naïve individuals: A comparative pilot study. [PDF]

Diabetes Obes Metab
To date, bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective long‐term treatment for obesity, but weight regain (WR) is common. The very low‐calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) is effective for weight loss and may influence gut microbiota (GM) composition, but it ...
