Objective To investigate the changes in body composition and health status of a physically active adult who volunteered to take a ketogenic diet for 7 months. Methods To test and compare body composition, lipid profiles, inflammatory status, glucose and insulin levels and renal function related indicators before and after 7-month ketogenic diet. Results After 7-month ketogenic diet, (1) weight remained basically the same, skeletal muscle mass increased by 1.3 kg while body fat mass decreased by 2.3 kg and body fat percentage decreased by 2.8; (2) lipid profiles significantly changed. TCH, LDL, and ApoB were much higher than normal ranges, with TCH reaching 10.6 mmol/L, LDL reaching 8.29 mmol/L, and ApoB reaching 2.47 g/L; (3) Inflammatory status was normal. (4) The fasting glucose and insulin levels were 5.1 mmol/l and 4.25 mIU/L, respectively. The calculated HOMA-IR and HOMA-β were 0.96 and 53.13. (5) All the renal function related indicators measured increased greatly. BUN was 6.5 mmol/L and Cr was 112 ?滋mol/L, which were still within normal ranges. UA significantly increased from 402 ?mol/L to 576 ?滋mol/L, much higher than the normal range. Conclusions (1) The long-term ketogenic diet combined with strength training maintained body weight, with muscle mass increased and body fat decreased; (2) The long-term ketogenic diet can lead to abnormal blood lipids and hyperurincemia (3) More research is needed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a long-term ketogenic diet. |
