Abstract in brief

  • The study shows that the Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) is generally safe and effective for people with obesity, with no serious side effects reported; mild side effects that did occur were manageable and did not affect weight loss outcomes.
  • Most participants completed the diet, although some stopped due to issues like taste and cost, and those who experienced side effects did not see different weight loss results compared to those who did not.
  • The research emphasizes that with proper medical oversight and adherence to specific guidelines, VLCKD can be a promising treatment for obesity, and side effects can be minimized through careful monitoring and following protocols.]
