TOP-5 Studies on Keto, Low-Carbohydrate Diets, and Intermittent Fasting from 02.11.2026 - 09.11.2026
Comparison of a high-carbohydrate diet with a traditional low-carbohydrate diet in gestational diabetes leads to a reduction in postprandial free fatty acids: a randomized controlled trial; Ketogenic diet as a therapeutic intervention in biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS suffering from obesity or overweight; Time-restricted feeding for circadian rhythm adjustment, increased physiological response, and prevention of stress-induced frailty: a pilot randomized controlled trial; Time-restricted feeding, liver health, and fecal microbiota in adults with overweight or obesity: a randomized controlled trial; Dietary interventions for menopausal symptoms.
5. Time-restricted feeding for circadian rhythm adjustment, increased physiological reactivity, and prevention of stress-induced frailty: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
About the study.
The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of time-restricted eating (TRE) to improve physiological responses and circadian rhythms in cancer patients. Fatigue and frailty scores were compared between TRE and control groups.
Results.
It was noted that the relative amplitude of activity and rest rhythms was associated with less fatigue (b ± SE = -6.3 ± 2.8, p = 0.03).
4. Comparison of a high-carbohydrate diet with a traditional low-carbohydrate diet in gestational diabetes leads to a reduction in postprandial free fatty acids: a randomized controlled trial.
About the study.
The study evaluated the effects of a high complex carbohydrate diet compared to a traditional low-carbohydrate diet in women with gestational diabetes. The goal was to determine the impact of these diets on postprandial free fatty acid levels.
Results.
CHOICE led to a 20% lower level of postprandial free fatty acids compared to LC/CONV. Participants on LC/CONV had 12% lower glucose levels but showed increased triglyceride and glycerol levels.
3. Time-restricted feeding, liver health, and fecal microbiota in adults with overweight or obesity: a randomized controlled trial.
About the study.
The study aimed to evaluate the impact of 8-hour time-restricted feeding combined with usual care on liver health and fecal microbiota composition in adults with overweight or obesity. Results were compared between groups receiving different feeding regimens and a group receiving only usual care.
Results.
HFF significantly decreased in the three TRE groups, but there were no differences between groups compared to the usual care group. Participants with metabolic dysfunction and those who lost ≥5% of weight showed greater reductions in HFF.
2. Ketogenic diet as a therapeutic intervention in biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and overweight: a meta-analytic study.
About the study.
The study aimed to evaluate the impact of the ketogenic diet on biochemical markers of hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and overweight. Testosterone and other hormone levels were compared before and after the diet.
Results.
The ketogenic diet was associated with a statistically significant reduction in total testosterone levels and a significant increase in sex hormone-binding globulin levels. There was also a significant reduction in LH levels and the LH/FSH ratio.
