An Open Label Study to Investigate the Efficacy of Nic's Keto Diet on Cardiovascular Health in Healthy Adults With Mildly Elevated LDL Levels
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Nic's Keto Diet for Ketogenic Dieting and Healthy. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The present study will investigate the effects of Nic's Ketogenic diet, comprised of 70% fat, 5% carbohydrate, and 25% protein on middle-aged males and females with mid-range elevated LDL. With the mixed evidence on the causative effect of LDL cholesterol on increased cardiovascular health risk, further studies are warranted to examine the relation of elevated LDL and other biomarkers of cardiovascular health in response to a lifestyle intervention. Furthermore, this study will investigate weight loss and body composition changes with adherence to this dietary intervention over a 140-day period. In this study the efficacy of Nic's Ketogenic diet on weight loss and biomarkers of cardiovascular health will be examined.
