Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the upcoming Special Issue of Nutrients on the subject of the ketogenic diet and its impact on weight management. This Special Issue aims to empirically contribute to the expansive and ever-growing literature about the potential value of the Ketogenic diet in weight management. This dietary approach, characterized by low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, and high-fat consumption, triggers a metabolic state known as ketosis. During ketosis, the body predominantly utilizes fats for energy, making it an intriguing avenue for weight management. This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions to address this topic, with a particular emphasis on how to transfer experimental interventions and findings to practical in-field applications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Efficacy of the ketogenic diet in weight loss;
- Appetite control and the ketogenic diet;
- Metabolic regulation on a ketogenic diet;
- Physiological mechanisms of fat metabolism in ketosis;
- Long-term weight management with the ketogenic diet;
- implementing the ketogenic diet: practical considerations;
- adverse effects and risks of the ketogenic die;
- Ketogenic diet and exercise.
