Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the impact of ketogenic diets on various body measurements, including weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat, and muscle mass, by analyzing data from 18 clinical trials.
  • The findings indicated that ketogenic diets significantly improved several measures, such as reducing weight, BMI, waist circumference, fat mass, visceral fat, and body fat percentage, while also having effects on lean body mass.
  • However, the review highlighted that the long-term effectiveness of ketogenic diets remains uncertain, and further research is needed to determine their sustained benefits over time.]
