Lipotoxicity is a major concern in the global epidemic of obesity, which affects a large number of children in developing countries and is on the rise in low- and middle-income countries. Regional distribution of body fat, particularly visceral fat, is associated with metabolic disorders and diseases, and studies have found a stronger relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and abdominal adiposity. Obesity prevention programs often focus on education, environmental and behavioral changes, physical activity and diet.

The Ketogenic Diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that is primarily used to reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures in children. It has also been tried for weight loss, but only short-term results have been studied with mixed outcomes. Research suggests that the keto diet can effectively reverse the metabolic abnormalities of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. However, the keto diet is not sustainable, has a high demand for meat and animal products, and can cause side effects like keto flu, constipation, and vitamin deficiencies.
