fatspredominantly

Fatspredominantly is a neologism used in nutrition and physiology to describe dietary patterns or metabolic states in which fat provides the majority of daily energy intake.

The term blends fat with predominantly to indicate that fat is the principal energy source rather than carbohydrates or protein. Because it is not a formal term, definitions vary by context; in many discussions, fat contributes more than half of total caloric intake, with higher-fat regimens described as fat-predominant or fat-dominant.

In practice, fat-predominant diets are most closely associated with ketogenic and other low-carbohydrate approaches, where fat intake is raised while carbohydrate intake is reduced and protein remains moderate. Fat may account for roughly 60-80% of energy, depending on the plan. The intent is often to shift metabolism toward fat oxidation.

Health effects vary. Some people report reduced hunger and stable energy, while evidence for weight loss, lipid profiles, and glycemic control is mixed. Long-term safety depends on fat quality (unsaturated versus saturated) and individual risk factors.

Because fatspredominantly is not widely standardized, researchers usually use terms such as high-fat or ketogenic diets. See also ketogenic diet, macronutrient distribution, dietary fat.
