The etiology of the rapidly evolving prevalence of pediatric obesity and diabetes is largely, if not entirely, due to the accessibility and affordability of whole foods and a lack of physical activity. Another likely large factor is health literacy. There is a lack of understanding that overconsumption of highly processed foods and a lack of exercise can lead to diseases even in childhood. Although the etiology of pediatric obesity is vastly multifactorial, diet is a crucial contributing factor, and this is the foundation of our research. This study investigates and compares the proposed efficacy of utilizing carnivore or ketogenic-like diets in treating pediatric obesity and other comorbidities. Current standard guidelines include recommending diets low in protein and high in vegetables, whereas participants implementing our proposed diets would prioritize protein intake. Although there are limited long-term data regarding carnivore or ketogenic-like diets, our research suggests that even short-term application of such a lifestyle will treat and likely prevent many cases of pediatric obesity. Regular physical activity is also encouraged to maximize the benefits of these diets, along with maintaining a mindful diet after the eventual cessation of these treatment diets. These diets have been shown to treat many conditions and show great promise in being realistic alternatives and preventative mechanisms to combat the epidemic of pediatric obesity.
