Lipedema is a chronic disease with unproportional, symmetrical fat accumulation in the lower extremities. Patients experience pain in affected areas, and reduced quality of life. Today's treatment is physiotherapy and surgery (liposuction). Recent research shows that ketogenic-diet with low carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) conant can lead to reduced pain, increased quality of life and change in body composition. Goals: Investigate the effect of LCHF diet on pain, quality of life and body composition.
