In a 56-year-old normal-weight woman with lipedema, 11% diet-induced weight loss reduced upper and lower body fat proportionally (leg fat 44.8% to 45.1% of total; arm fat 9.1% to 9.6%), suggesting weight loss decreases lipedema-affected adipose tissue.

Evidence over time

Moderate weight loss decreases lipedema-affected body fat mass in a woman who is lean with lipedema. — De Girolamo G, Smith GI, Stein RI, Wright TF, Klein S. (2026) ✓ verified — contextual · case report · 2026 · reading confidence: high
“These data suggest weight loss decreases lipedema-affected adipose tissue and demonstrate the therapeutic effect of weight loss on body composition in women with lipedema even if they are normal weight.”
The article tests diet-induced weight loss (not specifically ketogenic/low-carbohydrate) on body fat in lipedema; the dietary macronutrient composition is not specified, so it is on-topic for diet in lipedema but does not directly test a ke
