Summary

The investigators planned study is a randomized, controlled exploratory study of a ketogenic and a NFA (National Food Administration) recommended diet. Study participants will be female nutrition students with both knowledge and interest in dietary surveys, in order to increase motivation and adherence. They will be provided with cooked food. The women should be weight stable and maintain their physical activity during the study, in order to evaluate how the diet itself affects various health parameters. The investigators intend to investigate diet specific biomarkers (small molecules involved in metabolism) in the blood, as well as blood lipids, body composition, gut microbiota, energy substrate utilization, exercise performance, resting metabolic rate, hormones, cognition and sweet cravings. In addition, the investigators intend to qualitatively study the experience of following both of these dietary regimes. The investigators intend to make a short and controlled study. The study is expected to reveal whether the ketogenic diet is a healthy or unhealthy diet in the short term. The investigators also expect that data from this study will be a helpful tool to measure diet adherence in future long-term studies.
