Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) is seen as a promising approach for the treatment of obesity.
However, little is known about the side effects of this approach among people living with obesity since most of the research was conducted among normal weight subjects following Ketogenic Diet for other purposes than obesity. This small prospective study investigates the safety of VLCKD among people living with obesity and looks at whether its side effects could have an impact on efficacy.
