Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains one of the most prevalent and preventable chronic conditions
worldwide. Diet modification is the foundation of cardiovascular disease prevention.
Several dietary approaches have emerged to promote better cardiovascular health. The
rapid dissemination of anecdotal and observational data through the internet and social
media has caused confusion amongst providers and patients. The aim of this comprehensive
review is to present objective insights into 2 of today's most popular fad diets:
ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. We will evaluate the performance of these
diets based on their impact on cardiovascular risk factors.
