A recent study published in the journal Nutrients found that individuals who followed the ketogenic diet (KD) for more than one year reported an average weight loss of 28.2 kg.

The study used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze self-reported weight loss data from Reddit users following the ketogenic diet. Researchers applied machine learning algorithms and natural language processing to examine content from Reddit communities focused on KD. The study also found that male participants reported an average weight loss of 5.2 kg more than female participants.

The research highlights the potential for using social media data in nutritional studies to identify dietary patterns that could inform public health strategies and personalized nutrition plans.
