Useful for some people with uncontrolled epilepsy Current Research - cancer and diabetic populations Obesity Meta-analysis conducted by Bueno et al. (2013)- ketogenic diet was associated with < 1 kg of additional weight loss over high-carbohydrate, low-fat strategies Meta-analysis conducted by Hall et al. (2016)- energy expenditure and fat loss was greater with low-fat diets compared with ketogenic diets Concern for general population - high fat content combined with restrictions on nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables and grains Meta-analysis conducted by Aune el al.
