Impact of a Ketogenic Diet on Metabolic and Psychiatric Health in Patients With Schizophrenia or Bipolar Illness

Study Description
Brief Summary:

To initiate a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) ketogenic dietary intervention among a small cohort of outpatients with either schizophrenia or bipolar illness and comorbid overweight/obesity currently taking psychotropic medications.

Adults with mental illness represent a high-risk, marginalized group in the current obesity epidemic. Among US adults with severe mental illness, obesity and overweight are highly prevalent conditions having severe consequences, with patients estimated to die on average 25 years earlier than the general population largely of premature cardiovascular disease. In addition, many psychiatric medications, particularly antipsychotics and mood stabilizers, can contribute to metabolic side effects and weight gain. Low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) diets have been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk in those with insulin resistance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate both the metabolic and psychiatric outcomes with an LCHF diet in this psychiatric population.
