- Brief Summary
Main aim: Study the anthropometric, metabolic, cardiovascular and neurocognitive and gut microbiota changes of different approaches for the weight reduction that increase the ketone bodies in a different proportion in relation to the classic hypocaloric diet.
Objective 1: Study the effect of hypocaloric diets that increase the ketone bodies on gut microbiota and its relationship with anthropometric changes and of the Brown adipose tissue, Objective 2: with the metabolic and inflammatory changes, Objective 3: on the cardiovascular system, Objective 4: on the neurocognition, Objective 5: if they are associated to epigenetic changes that may explain the changes found in the other objectives. Objective 6: Determine the safety of the diets that increase the ketone bodies compared to the classic hypocaloric diet, Objective 7: if the effects of the different dietary approaches are maintained during the medium time, and Objective 8: Verify in experimental models (microbiota transplants from humans with different diets to germ-free mice, ketosis dietary models, and ketone bodies administration) the causality of the gut microbiota of these findings.
Methodology: Model 1: Dietary intervention in humans with 4 types of diet with a different increase of the ketone bodies: classic hypocaloric diet (DH); diet with 8h of feeding and 16h of starving in periods of 24h (D16); diet with intermittent caloric restriction (DA); and normal in protein and low in carbohydrates hypocaloric ketogenic diet (DC).

Group Intervention Description Alternate-day fasting Alternate-day fasting In this diet subjects alternate norm caloric diet during 24 h (according to Harris-Benedict equation) and a diet including only 25% of caloric requirements the following 24 h (this day diet will include 5 % carbohydrates, 65% fat and 30% high biological value protein). Intermittent fasting 16/8 (early fasting) Intermittent fasting 16/8 (early fasting) Diet will produce a 600 kcal per day caloric deficit, according to the Harris-Benedict equation for each subject. Diet will include 45% carbohydrates, 35% fat, 20% protein, but it will be consumed for 8 hours a day (from 12 am. to 8 pm.), maintaining 16 fasting hours (from 8 pm. to 12 am. the following day). Intermittent fasting 16/8 (late fasting) Intermittent fasting 16/8 (late fasting) Diet will produce a 600 kcal per day caloric deficit, according to the Harris-Benedict equation for each subject. Diet will include 45% carbohydrates, 35% fat, 20% protein, but it will be consumed for 8 hours a day (from 8 am. to 4 pm.), maintaining 16 fasting hours (from 4 pm. to 8 am. the following day). Standard hypocaloric diet Standard hypocaloric die Mediterranean diet based on olive oil as main fat and regular consumption of vegetables (2 daily rations), fruits 3 daily rations), legumes (3 weekly rations), fish (3 weekly rations), with low consumption of red meat and meat products (less than twice a week), dairy foods (less than once a week) and no sweets, pastries or sugary drinks. Diet will produce a 600 kcal per day caloric deficit, according to the Harris-Benedict equation for each subject. Diet will include 45% carbohydrates, 35% fat, 20% protein distributed in at least 4 meals (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner). Ketogenic diet Ketogenic diet Diet will produce a 600 kcal per day caloric deficit, according to the Harris-Benedict equation for each subject. Diet will include 5 % carbohydrates, 65% fat and 30% high biological value protein.
