Lipedema

A ketogenic diet has shown dramatic benefits for lipedema in published studies and is one of the few interventions with documented clinical results. Lipedema is distinct from obesity and does not respond to standard weight-loss interventions in a typical way. Lipedema is a chronic condition involving abnormal fat accumulation primarily in the lower body. Lipedema is associated with an excess of estrogen receptors, which promote fat deposition in the lower body. Lipedema is frequently triggered or worsened during hormonal shifts such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
