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.
