Today I’d like to tell you about a review paper by a group of researchers from Naples and Rome, Italy.

It was published in the peer-reviewed journal Current Obesity Reports in November 2023.

This review aimed to summarize the current evidence on the efficacy and safety of very low calorie ketogenic diet as a potential treatment for lipedema, especially in the context of obesity.

This paper is important for individuals with lipedema because it adds to the growing evidence that lipedema CAN respond to particular diets, namely ketogenic diets.
