Insights About a Pilot Study on Modified Mediterranean-Ketogenic Diet and Carboxytherapy for Lipedema

Today, I'm excited to share insights from a paper authored by a team of surgeons based in Rome, Italy.

The article, titled Modified Mediterranean-Ketogenic Diet and Carboxytherapy as Personalized Therapeutic Strategies in Lipedema: A Pilot Study, was published in the esteemed peer-reviewed journal Nutrients in August 2023.

The primary objective of this study is to gauge the effectiveness of a tailored modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet (MMKD), either with or without carboxytherapy, in addressing various symptoms of lipedema, including alterations in body composition, pain levels, overall health status, and quality of life.

Analyzing the Impact of LCHF Diet on Blood Panel Markers in Lipedema

In this episode, we introduce a research paper originating from Switzerland titled “The Influence of a Low-Carbohydrate High-Fat Diet on Laboratory Parameters among Women with Lipedema Compared to Overweight/Obese Women”, published in the esteemed peer-reviewed journal Nutrients in June 2023.

The primary objective of the study was to assess changes in blood parameters following seven months of adherence to a ketogenic diet among women diagnosed with lipedema, contrasting with outcomes observed in overweight or obese women.

This paper holds significant relevance for individuals grappling with lipedema as it contributes further to the mounting evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of carbohydrate restriction, particularly at ketogenic levels, as a potential intervention for managing lipedema. Moreover, it sheds light on variances in dietary response between women with lipedema and those who are obese.
