Impact of Ketogenic and Low-Carb Diets on Body Composition

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of ketogenic and low-carbohydrate diets on body composition in overweight and obese adults. This review compiled data from 33 randomized controlled trials, involving over 2,800 participants, making it one of the most comprehensive analyses on this topic. The findings indicated that both diets significantly reduced body weight, with participants losing an average of 4.1 pounds compared to control groups, and demonstrated improvements in body fat percentage. Importantly, the results suggested that adherence to a strict carbohydrate limit of less than 50 grams per day yielded the most substantial benefits, especially for those with type 2 diabetes.
