  "statement": "A systematic review of 9 studies (269 women) found that ketogenic and low-carbohydrate diets consistently reduced weight and fat mass and improved pain and quality of life in lipedema, but evidence is limited by high risk of bias in 7 of 9 studies, lack of disease-stage stratification, absence of muscle mass assessment, and no significant reduction in inflammation (hsCRP) in the only low-risk RCT.",
