In a recent review article published in the journal Nutrients, researchers reviewed the existing literature to assess the advantages of ketogenic diets (KD) over other dietary approaches for weight loss and other health benefits.
Their findings indicate that KD may be effective for hunger control, faster weight loss, improved insulin and blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and heightened mental well-being, among other things. These diets could also reduce reliance on obesity medications and may outperform not only low-fat but also other low-carbohydrate diets in managing blood sugar and insulin levels. However, further research, particularly clinical trials, is needed to establish these benefits.
