Ketogenic Diet as a Therapeutic Option for Lipedema

  • Today, I want to share insights from a review paper authored by researchers from Naples and Rome, Italy.
  • Published in the peer-reviewed journal Current Obesity Reports in November 2023, the review summarizes the existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of a very low-calorie ketogenic diet as a potential treatment for lipedema, particularly in cases involving obesity.
  • This paper is significant for those with lipedema, as it contributes to the growing body of evidence suggesting that lipedema may respond to specific dietary interventions, particularly ketogenic diets.
