“…Healthy eating patterns for lipedema can be whole food, enzyme rich, plant-based 86,87 or ketogenic. 88 Research favors vegetable-based low-carbohydrate diets which correlate with decreased all-cause mortality over animal-based diets. 89 2.14.…”

Background Lipedema is a loose connective tissue disease predominantly in women identified by increased nodular and fibrotic adipose tissue on the buttocks, hips and limbs that develops at times of hormone, weight and shape change including puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Lipedema tissue may be very painful and can severely impair mobility. Non-lipedema obesity, lymphedema, venous disease, and hypermobile joints are comorbidities. Lipedema tissue is difficult to reduce by diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. Methods This paper is a consensus guideline on lipedema written by a US committee following the Delphi Method. Consensus statements are rated for strength using the GRADE system. Results Eighty-five consensus statements outline lipedema pathophysiology, and medical, surgical, vascular, and other therapeutic recommendations. Future research topics are suggested. Conclusion These guidelines improve the understanding of the loose connective tissue disease, lipedema, to advance our understanding towards early diagnosis, treatments, and ultimately a cure for affected individuals.

“…The aim was to confirm our hypothesis on the effectiveness and safeness of the KD in this pathophysiological condition, even when kept for long time [15,16]. The KD is a nutritional program that provides for a minimal daily intake of carbohydrates (<30 g or <10% of the total calories), and has been used for almost 100 years to manage drug-resistant forms of childhood epilepsy [17]. To date, it is proposed in support of cancer therapy by exploiting the Warburg effect [18,19], in the management of migraines [20,21], in polycystic ovary syndrome [22], and obviously for weight loss, in particular in obese subjects [23,24].…”

Lipedema is a pathology of adipose tissue, still of unclear etiology and challenging to diagnose. For these reasons, a therapeutic approach is also complex and sometimes controversial. The inflammation state present in lipedema can be limited by controlling the glycemic peaks. Specifically, the ketogenic diet (KD) seems to have the right conditions to be effective. Herein, we reported a subject diagnosed with lipedema who, with only KD nutritional intervention, achieved a significant weight loss (−41 Kg), with a net decrease in body circumferences, and also reporting an improvement in pain, and therefore in the overall quality of life. She refused other types of intervention and kept KD for two years. This case could represent the first step to organize a KD nutritional protocol specifically applied to lipedema.

“…Se han propuesto diferentes dietas como la paleo dieta, dieta baja en hidratos de carbono, dieta antiinflamatoria, Rare Adipose Disorders Diet (RADD), dieta cetogénica. Estas dietas, aunque con algunas diferencias entre ellas, abogan por la reducción o eliminación de la ingesta de alimentos procesados, lácteos, hidratos de carbono, azúcares y cereales con gluten (5,6,35,36,38). Se indican ejercicios con movimientos controlados y cíclicos como caminar o correr, yoga, hit de bajo impacto, bicicleta, pilates.…”

El lipedema es un trastorno crónico que se presenta en mujeres durante la pubertad u otros momentos de cambios hormonales como en el embarazo o la menopausia. Es caracterizado por una obesidad desproporcionada de las extremidades, especialmente en caderas y piernas, asociado a hematomas con mínimo trauma y dolor espontáneo o inducido por presión. Usualmente es mal diagnoticado e infratratado y suele confundirse con otras enfermedades como la obesidad y linfedema. Su causa aún se sigue estudiando, existen hipótesis sobre su origen poligenético regulado por los estrógenos, por el inicio de la enfermedad en etapas de cambio hormonal y debido a que se presenta mayormente en mujeres. Los tratamiento para el lipedema se basa en seis pilares: 1) Fisioterapia-ejercicios, 2) Terapia compresiva, 3) Control de peso, 4) Liposucción, 5) Terapia psicosocial-6) Automanejo.
