In women with obesity and lipedema, moderate diet-induced weight loss (~9%) reduced lower-body (leg/thigh) adipose mass with relative reductions similar to abdominal fat and improved insulin sensitivity, refuting the notion that lipedema fat is resistant to weight loss, though inflammation and fibrosis markers did not change.
