How Much Weight Loss on a Ketogenic Diet?
The above chart was based on the collection of studies referenced below which show weight loss on the ketogenic diet. The studies have been analysed for adherence on the Ketogenic diet which we conclude has been followed for at least part of the duration of each of them.
