Two-Week Exclusive Supplementation of Modified Ketogenic Nutrition Drink Reserves Lean Body Mass and Improves Blood Lipid Profile in Obese Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to investigate the effects of two-week low-calorie ketogenic nutrition drinks on body weight, body composition, blood lipid profile, and blood ketone bodies in obese adults.
Results Summary
The study found that blood ketone bodies were induced and maintained in groups consuming both 4:1 and 1.7:1 ketogenic drinks, suggesting efficacy in achieving ketosis. Changes in body weight, body composition, and blood lipid profile were also investigated, though specific results were not detailed in the abstract.

The ketogenic diet has long been recommended in patients with neurological disorders, and its protective effects on the cardiovascular system are of growing research interest. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two-week of low-calorie ketogenic nutrition drinks in obese adults. Subjects were randomized to consume drinks either a ketone-to-non-ketone ratio of 4:1 (KD 4:1), a drink partially complemented with protein at 1.7:1 (KD 1.7:1), or a balanced nutrition drink (BD). Changes in body weight, body composition, blood lipid profile, and blood ketone bodies were investigated. Blood ketone bodies were induced and maintained in the group that consumed both 4:1 and 1.7:1 ketogenic drinks (
