| Sumario: | Introduction: There is great interest in the use of the ketogenic diet as an alternative to the treatment of obesity, which has raised the need for health professionals to reexamine the possible benefits of this eating style. Objective: To evaluate the information of the different applications of ketogenic diets in the treatment of obesity through scientific publications. Material and method: Three databases were used (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Clinical Trials). They were combined with logical operators and terms such as ketogenic diet, obesity, ketone bodies, among others. They were combined with logical operators such as ketolysis, fatty acid oxidation, hormonal regulation, satiety and exercise. Results: Twenty-three articles containing randomized clinical trials and animal experiments were considered for the review. The excluded articles did not meet the criteria for levels of evidence and the PRISMA guideline. Conclusions: Although the many benefits of ketogenic diets have been demonstrated, the use should be accompanied by dietary advice and not overuse. The evolutionary model of nutrition is to integrate and individualize the various dietary factors that can contribute to improving the long-term lifestyle. |
