The Effectiveness of the Low-Glycemic and Insulinemic (LOGI) Regimen in Maintaining the Benefits of the VLCKD in Fibromyalgia Patients [PDF]

Nutrients
Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disorder that causes damage to the neuro-muscular system and alterations in the intestinal microbiota and affects the psychological state of the patient. In our previous study, we showed that 22 women patients subjected to a specific very low-carbohydrate ketogenic therapy (VLCKD) showed an improvement in ...

An 8-Week Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) Alters the Landscape of Obese-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs), Redefining Hepatic Cell Phenotypes [PDF]

Nutrients
Background. Very low-calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKD) are an effective weight-loss strategy for obese individuals, reducing risks of liver conditions such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are implicated in liver fibrosis by influencing hepatic cell phenotypes and contributing to liver damage.

Epigenetic landscape in blood leukocytes following ketosis and weight loss induced by a very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) in patients with obesity [PDF]

Clinical Nutrition, 2021
The molecular mechanisms underlying the potential health benefits of a ketogenic diet are unknown and could be mediated by epigenetic mechanisms.To identify the changes in the obesity-related methylome that are mediated by the induced weight loss or are dependent on ketosis in subjects with obesity underwent a very-low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD ...

Supplementation with medium-chain fatty acids increases body weight loss during very low-calorie ketogenic diet: a retrospective analysis in a real-life setting [PDF]

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background Very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) has shown to significantly reduce body weight and fat mass, as well as inflammation. These effects are supported by nutritional ketosis, which triggers the utilization of the ketone body as an energy ...

European Guidelines for Obesity Management in Adults with a Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Obesity Facts, 2021
Background: The very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) has been recently proposed as an appealing nutritional strategy for obesity management. The VLCKD is characterized by a low carbohydrate content (<50 g/day), 1–1.5 g of protein/kg of ideal body

Prospective Observational Case Series in Infertile Women with Overweight or Obesity Treated with a Very-Low Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) Prior to an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Treatment. [PDF]

Nutrients
Background: Elevated BMI in women is linked to metabolic and endocrine imbalances that impair fertility and increase pregnancy risks. While >10% weight loss before an Assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment may improve outcomes, sustained results through conventional diets are challenging.
