Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The intervention groups will be as follows; a) ketogenic diet, b) caloric restriction diet, c) intermittent fasting diet and, d) usual diet.
1. Ketogenic diet: A dietary recommendation will be given which will be isocaloric according to the resting energy expenditure obtained by indirect calorimetry, containing the following macronutrient distribution: 25% protein, 10% carbohydrates, 65% fat.
2. Caloric restriction diet: A dietary recommendation will be given according to their usual diet, 500 kcal will be restricted, containing the following macronutrient distribution: 25-35% protein, 45-55% carbohydrates, 20-30% fat.
3. Intermittent fasting 16/8: Participants will have the same diet as the participants from the caloric restriction diet group, with the difference that intermittent fasting will be employed, with a time-restricted pattern of 16:8. During 16 hours; for example, from 04.00 pm to 08.00 am or from 05.00 pm to 09.00 am (fasting hours) participants will be fasted and no calories can be eaten or drunk. But participants in the fasting hours can drink water, unsweetened tea, unsweetened coffee and mineral water. In the other 8 hours, participants need to adhere to the energy restriction diet.
4. Usual diet: Participants will not be recommended any diet, participants will be referred to follow their usual diet until the end of the study.
After one month of the assigned intervention, the antibiotic rifaximin will be prescribed to the participants in doses of 550mg, twice a day for 7 days. After the 7 days with the antibiotic, participants will complete another month with the dietary intervention according to the group that the participants were initially randomized.
Participants will be required to complete food logs (2 on weekdays and 1 for weekends) during each week in order to monitor adherence to the dietary plan. For this, a nutritionist will teach them how to complete the food log, where participants must record the type, quantity and place where the food was consumed at each feeding time. Also, 2 phone calls will be made each week to evaluate adherence to treatment. The adherence will be determined with the % of adherence to the dietary treatment as obtained in the analysis of the food logs. Similarly, urine ketone concentration will be determined to measure adherence to the ketogenic diet. A logbook will be provided by the investigator to the participants to record the consumption of the medication, which should be filled out daily by the participant.

Ketogenic diet
Weekly menus will be delivered according to diet with the following macronutrient distribution: 25% protein, 10% carbohydrate, 65% fat. Participants will receive a 30-day food menu guide.

Caloric restriction diet
Weekly menus will be provided according to their usual diet with 500 kcal restriction with the following macronutrient distribution 25-35% protein, 45-55% carbohydrates, 20-30% fat. Participants will receive a 30-day food menu guide.

Intermittent fasting 16/8
Calorie-restricted menus will be provided with a 16:8 time-restricted feeding. The feeding window will be 8 hours with a fasting time of 16 hours (04.00 pm- 08.00 am or 05.00 pm - 09.00 am), during the fasting window participants will only be allowed to drink water, unsweetened tea, mineral water and coffee without added sugar. Participants will receive a 30-day food menu guide.
