Very low-calorie ketogenic diet plus omega-3 promotes weight loss in class I obesity

25 Jan 2022

For individuals with class I obesity, a very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) with omega-3 supplementation results in fat mass reduction while preserving fat-free mass (FFM), as shown in a study. Furthermore, there are improvements seen in satiety hormones, such as higher ghrelin and lower leptin, and in the metabolic profiles.
