Efficacy of the Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) in postmenopausal women with obesity: better to be “owls” or “larks”?

Nutritional approaches (NA) are the cornerstone of obesity therapy, but their optimal design for postmenopausal women, a population with a high prevalence of obesity, is debated. In addition, recent studies have reported that chronotype (reflecting an individual's preference for sleep, eating and activity times over a 24h period) plays a role in both the development of metabolic comorbidities and in determining eating habits in obesity. However, little is known whether the chronotype can predict the efficacy of (NA) in postmenopausal women with obesity (PWO).
