A 7-month LCHF diet in women with lipedema produced significant reductions in body weight (~10.8 kg), fat mass (~7.4 kg), leg volume (~1395–1524 mL), ankle circumference (−1.0 cm), and pain scores (VAS 4.6→3.0), with outcomes comparable to overweight/obese controls except for greater ankle circumference reduction in the lipedema group.
