Personalized Ketogenic Diet
The Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) is an effective medical protocol for rapid and safe weight loss. In our clinics, our Medical Nutritionist personalizes it based on your characteristics to help you lose fat mass while preserving muscle.
What is the Medical Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD)?
The ketogenic diet is not a “do-it-yourself” regimen, but a scientifically validated therapeutic protocol, known as VLCKD (Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diet).
It is based on a drastic reduction of carbohydrates, which induces the body into a safe metabolic state called ketosis. In this condition, the body stops using sugars as fuel and begins to burn stored fat to produce energy.
When supervised by a physician, this approach allows for rapid weight loss, effective hunger control, and increased energy.
Who Is It For?
Our medical protocol is ideal for:
- Losing weight rapidly in a safe and sustainable way.
- Improving body composition (reducing fat mass while preserving muscle mass).
- Managing metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance and chronic inflammation.
- Enhancing the results of body shaping treatments (e.g., EmSculpt NEO, Cryolipolysis).
Our Medical Approach: BIA and Supervision
At Derma Laser Clinic, the ketogenic diet is a medical program that always begins with a BIA Analysis (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). We don’t rely solely on weight, but scientifically measure your fat mass, muscle mass, and hydration.
Based on this objective data, our Medical Nutritionist develops a personalized plan and monitors you constantly, adapting the protocol to ensure maximum effectiveness in complete safety.
Duration
The ketogenic nutrition program is personalized based on the patient’s needs, generally involving phases of 4-8 weeks, constantly monitored by the nutritionist.
Contraindications
The ketogenic diet is a medical protocol and is not suitable for everyone. It is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in the presence of certain conditions (e.g., kidney or liver disease). A preliminary medical consultation is always essential.
