Keto diet shows promise for painful leg fat disorder in women

This study looked at whether a 7-month low-carb, high-fat (ketogenic) diet could improve symptoms and quality of life in 121 women with lipedema, a chronic fat tissue disorder causing painful leg swelling. Participants followed the diet and were monitored for changes in leg size, body weight, and inflammation markers. The goal was to see if this dietary approach could reduce pain and swelling better than standard treatments.
