This study aims to highlight the connection between thyroid health and the ketogenic diet. This study included 120 men aged between (25- 55) years, divided into two groups. Group one contains 70 men following a carbohydrate diet, and group two is 50 men who follow a ketogenic diet; both groups analyzed serum (TSH, T4, T3) and HbA1c. The results show a significant (P≤0.05) decrease in thyroid TSH, T3, and T4. Also, the findings of HbA1c show a significant (P≤0.05) decrease in the ketogenic group compared to those who follow a carbohydrate diet. In conclusion, the ketogenic diet is significantly associated with thyroid function tests. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health).
