Low energy ketogenic diet lasting 12 weeks with a previous preparation period including detailed instructions during classes and individual counselling by a dietitian. Participants were provided with a list of suitable foods with very low carbohydrate content. Furthermore, the subjects shared cooking recipes and links to helpful webpages. They were free to follow a KD according to their personal preferences but limit their carbohydrate intake to 5-10 % of total energy from carbohydrates, but derive at least 70 % of total energy from fat.
