Gibbs, Maja Mitchell-Grigorjeva, Ailsa McLellan, Tessa Moses, Karl Burgess, Rachel Brown, Michael J. Thrippleton, Harry Campbell, Daniel J. Smith, Sharon A. Simpson

“…Results Five themes were identified in the qualitative data: (1) ‘Encouraging entry and supporting exit’ (e.g. recognising and managing participants’ varied motives and expectations, including around weight loss and symptom alleviation); (2) ‘Challenging but potentially transformational,’ which reflects that while it can be difficult to initiate and maintain a ketogenic diet day-to-day, many participants perceived physical and psychological benefits (e.g. significant weight loss, mood stability and enhanced ability to focus); (3) ‘Intervention facilitators,’ including a range of behavioural (e.g. goal setting), social (e.g. family and dietitians) and technological (e.g. apps for monitoring) support mechanisms; (4) ‘Intervention barriers’ (e.g. dietary preferences, concerns about the diet and its impact, the testing burden and capacity of the delivery team); and (5) ‘The wider context’ (e.g. the cost of living and sociocultural expectations) was a crucial factor explaining differential experiences. …”
