The Latest Research on the Benefits of a Keto and Low-Carb Diet

At Keto Kitchen, we’ve always known that living low-carb has powerful health benefits. Now, a wave of fresh research published in late 2024 and early 2025 is backing this up, showing how ketogenic and low-carb diets can improve weight, blood sugar, heart health and even inflammation.

Whether you’re enjoying our freshly prepared keto meals or one of our low-carb cakes, here’s what the latest science says about the benefits of a keto lifestyle.

Keto diets support weight loss and appetite control

One of the most well-known benefits of a ketogenic diet is weight loss. A new six-month clinical trial published in Nutrients (Dec 2024) found that people following a healthy keto diet lost nearly double the weight compared to those on a standard calorie-restricted diet. Importantly, participants also reported reduced hunger and better appetite control.

Keto improves blood sugar and insulin levels

Low-carb and ketogenic diets are increasingly recognised for their ability to support metabolic health. A large 2024 meta-analysis in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (27 trials) showed that ketogenic diets significantly lower blood sugar and insulin levels, helping improve insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health.

Heart-friendly effects of a low-carb lifestyle

Keto diets are not only about weight loss; they also improve cardiovascular markers. The same AJCN review highlighted that ketogenic diets consistently raise HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol), while lowering triglycerides and blood pressure. These changes are strongly linked with better heart health outcomes.

Keto reduces inflammation in the body

Inflammation is at the root of many chronic diseases. A 2025 review in Nutrition Reviews analysed 44 clinical trials and found that ketogenic diets help reduce pro-inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and IL-6. This adds to the evidence that low-carb eating supports long-term health and wellbeing.
