简要总结
This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the Zélé program, a controlled ketogenic diet, for weight loss and maintenance. It involved a randomized clinical trial with participants aged 18-60, BMI between 30-34.9 kg/m², and no severe health issues
详细描述
The study will be conducted in Mexico City under the sponsorship of Zélé® and in collaboration with the VIME Weight Loss and Wellness Center of Mexico. During the year 2021 and with follow-up for 24 months. An open call will be made through different media including social networks for the recruitment of patients who meet the inclusion criteria and must present themselves for a clinical evaluation in which pathological history, clinical status, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation and temperature will be recorded. Nutritional assessment, and a Complete Blood Count, a biochemical profile. Patients who meet all the inclusion criteria will be selected and will have an interview with the principal investigator in which they will sign their letter of commitment and informed consent, then they will be subjected to the randomization process with a 2:1 allocation for treatment and controls, respectively. Subsequently, they will be submitted to the two nutritional treatments and will be clinically evaluated every week and will receive nutritional, psycho emotional and physical activity counseling. At each visit, adverse effects, changes in clinical status will be recorded and the presence of ketone bodies in capillary blood will be determined. Subsequently, only clinical and nutritional follow-up will be given along with psycho-emotional support and physical activity advice every 3 months up to 12 months and every 6 months up to 24 months.

盲法说明
Eligible patients were assigned to a one of the four VIME Weight Loss and Wellness Center for management and follow up according to their preference, a sequential number in inclusion order was given, with all the patients coded with a 4-digit number. This code was sent to the people in the food production plant where the patients were randomized in a double blinded study, with a 2:1 allocation for low-fat, normo-protein, controlled ketogenic diet (Zélé method) or low calories diet

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Very low calorie ketogenic low-fat diet (VLCKLFD)
Frank ketosis: between 650 and 730 kcal/day in 5 mealtimes. This stage in the nutritional intervention was done during the first 4 weeks.
Mixed Ketosis: in this stage, one intake of commercial preparations was replaced by proteins, which discreetly increased by 100 to 150 Kcal/day. This stage was done during the next 4 weeks.
干预措施: Low-fat normoprotein Controlled Ketogenic Diet. (Other)
Low-Calorie Diet (LCD)
The usual caloric intake of a balanced LCD is between 1,200 and 1,500 kcal per day with a macronutrient distribution of 50% carbohydrates, 25% proteins and 25% fats, according to the Diogenes study
干预措施: Hypocaloric Balanced Diet (Other)
