"Key Message: A diet regimen of ketogenic breakfast along with supplementation with two doses of lauric acid-rich MCTs at breakfast and lunch times, followed by 8–12-h IF and a dinner rich with fruits and vegetables, could be a potential prophylactic strategy and adjuvant therapy to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections."
"With the gradual opening after long lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are proposing a prophylactic diet regimen that may limit viral levels in the human body. This can be established by switching the host lipid metabolism, critical for viral replication and assembly, by induction of the ketogenic pathway using coconut-rich MCFAs along with olive oil, followed by 8–12 h fasting and a dinner rich with fruits and vegetables."
