Abbreviations: WFKD, Well Formulated Ketogenic Diet; Med-Plus, Mediterranean Plus Diet. 1 Diets as designed by the research team. 2 Foods that were able to be produced and delivered by food delivery company (Methodology). 3 Average of participant intake during the diet phase. “As consumed” averages may be different than “as delivered” as participants were given a week’s supply of meals, encouraged to eat a particular proportion of each menu item over the course of the week, but ultimately may have had uneven proportions of menu items over the course of the week. Further, no alcohol was included in the designed or delivered items, but some participants reported modest amounts of alcohol consumption during the “food delivery” phase.
