Very-low-calorie ketogenic diets with whey, vegetable or animal protein in patients with obesity: a randomized pilot study
Context
We compared the efficacy, safety and effect of 45-day isocaloric very-low-calorie ketogenic diets (VLCKDs) incorporating whey, vegetable or animal protein on the microbiota in patients with obesity and insulin resistance to test the hypothesis that protein source may modulate the response to VLCKD interventions.
