Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of the ketogenic diet over four weeks on blood lipid levels and risk factors for heart disease in adults with a healthy BMI compared to adults with a body mass index (BMI) in the range for obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the ketogenic diet cause larger increases in "bad cholesterol" (low density lipoprotein-cholesterol) in adults with a healthy BMI compared to adults with BMI in the range for obesity? * Does the ketogenic diet cause larger decreases in vascular health in adults with a healthy BMI compared to adults with BMI in the range for obesity? Participants will: * Consume all of the study food provided and avoid intake of non-study foods during the 28-day diet period * Visit the metabolic kitchen daily (Monday-Friday) to pick up meals * Attend 5 fasting visits at the Clinical Research Center for testing
Primary Outcome
Assessed from fasting blood draw expressed in mg/dL. LDL-cholesterol will be measured directly via enzymatic assay. Change in LDL-cholesterol will be calculated as the mean of the end of diet measures (i.e., mean of day 29 and day 30 values) minus the mean of the baseline measures (i.e., mean of day 1 and day 2 values).
