Ovarian Cancer

Endometrial Cancer

This trial is limited to female participants, as it is a study of ovarian and endometrial cancer patients.

Participants in the usual care plus ketogenic diet group will receive usual care plus dietary counseling in accordance with a ketogenic diet such that ~5% energy comes from carbohydrate, 25% energy from protein, and 70% energy from fat for the duration of the 12 week study.

Ketogenic diet

Participants in the usual care plus AND diet group will receive usual care plus dietary counseling in accordance with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics guidelines in 2013 for the duration of the 12 week study.

This study is a randomized clinical trial with a parallel arm design to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of usual care plus AND or usual care plus KD on women with ovarian and endometrial cancer.

Standard diet (SD): Nutrition following the standard recommendations of the German society for nutrition

Nutritional intervention: Ketogenic diet (KD).
Intervention: Nutritional support (hospital) + self support (outpatient phase) with KD

Nutritional intervention: low glycämic and insulinemic" diet (LOGI)
Intervention: Nutritional support (hospital) + self support (outpatient phase) with LOGI

Quality of Life

Nutrition intervention following the recommendations of the germans society for nutrition (DGE)

Standard diet (SD)

Nutritional intervention: recommendations to follow a ketogenic diet

Experimental 1: Ketogenic diet (KD).

Nutritional intervention: patients were instructed to follow the "LOGI" diet regimen

Experimental 2: "Low glycämic and insulinemic" diet (LOGI)

Ketogenic Or LOGI Diet In a Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Intervention (KOLIBRI)

To study the effect of a ketogenic diet (KD) or a low glycämic and insulinemic diet (LOGI) compared to a standard diet (SD) on quality of life in patients with Breast Cancer during the rehabilitation phase.
This will be done by comparing the results of the EORTC QLQ-30 and the QLQ-BR23 questionnaires.

For all patients in the three groups (KD, LOGI and SD ) in parallel:
Feasibility measured as average calorie and carbohydrate intake per day during weeks 1-20 as documented by food diary at one random day/week Safety as defined as number of patients with adverse events [ Time Frame: weeks 1-20] Ketosis as dokumented daily in urine and blood [Time Frame: days 1-21] and in urine daily [Time Frame: week 4-20) Physical performance as obtained by spiroergometry [Time frame: day 1, day 21 and week 20] Body composition as analyzed by standard-Bioimpedance analysis(BIA), Dual- measurement [Time frame: day 1, 21 and week 20] Metabolic parameters (triglycerides, cholesterine, glucose, insulin, IGF-1) in patients serum via standard laboratory procedure [Time frame: day 1, 21, week 11 and 20]

Region of Enrollment

Change from baseline in reactive hyperemia index (RHI) in response to consumption of 250 g beef patty with or without 68 g avocado added at 2 hour post-ingestion. RHI is a measure of endothelial dysfunction using noninvasive peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT). It is a ratio of the post-to-pre occlusion PAT amplitude of the tested arm, divided by the post-to-pre occlusion ratio of the control arm. RHI less than 1.67 is considered sign of endothelial dysfunction and RHI equal to or greater than 1.67 is considered normal function. The possible range of scores is 1 to 3. Increasing score indicates the improvement of coronary endothelial function.

Change from baseline inflammatory marker IkB-alpha in response to the consumption of 250 g beef patty with or without 68 g avocado added was assessed at 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 hours post-ingestion. Baseline and 3 hours post-ingestion was reported.

Participants consumed 250 g beef patties without avocado added prior to ingestion.
