Summary
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet (modified Atkins diet) can help children and young adults aged 7-30 who have brain tumors and severe obesity due to hypothalamic damage. The goal is to see if at least 5% weight loss over 24 months is possible. The diet is already used for epilepsy and may offer a new way to manage weight when standard treatments fail.
