Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ketogenic diet is now in trend. But very less researches were conducted in India to check signicant effects on weight loss of Ketogenic Diet among overweight/obese adults compared to calorie restricted Low Fat diet. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of Very Low Carbohydrate Ketogenic (VLCK) diet and energy restricted Low-Fat (LF) diets on weight loss in overweight/obese healthy adults. Design: An interventional randomized controlled trial of 6 months was initiated. PARTICIPANTS: 113 overweight/obese adults with a body mass index of 25 kg/m2 or greater; with no abnormalities and more than 20 years of age. INTERVENTION: Among 113 overweight/obese adults, we conducted a six-month randomized controlled trial of two sets of dietary advice, each providing approximately 12,00-1500 calories per day but differing in protein, ber, fat and carbohydrate content. RESULTS: We found that dieters given VLCK advice tended to lose more weight than those given a LF diet. CONCLUSION: For short period of time VLCK diet is more effective than conventional LF diet for weight loss. But for long term effects further studies are required.
