The Effect of a Low Carb Diet on Lipedema Fat

  • Today, I’d like to tell you about a study by a group in Norway led by Julianne Lundanes and Siren Nymo. They have done several studies about lipedema and carb-restricted diets.
  • The paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Nutrition ESPEN (The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism) in November 2024 is titled, The effect of a low-carbohydrate diet on subcutaneous adipose tissue in females with lipedema.
  • This analysis focused on the effect of two diets (low carb vs. low fat) on subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in the calf of women with lipedema.
