KE diet also known as Feeding Tube Diet is a proprietary diet method〔 in which an individual feeds through a feeding tube for a specific number of days. The dieter does not eat anything while on the diet.〔 It has also been called the "Feeding Tube" diet in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Feeding Tube Diet" Promises That Brides-To-Be Can Lose 20 Pounds in 10 Days )〕 KE diet stirred considerable controversy when it was introduced in the US in 2011. Currently, it is only available in the US.〔 KE diet was patented under the US Patent 8,940,689 in January 2015. == Nature of the diet == In KE diet, a feeding tube is inserted through the nose of an individual down their oesophagus. At the other end of the tube is an electric pump.〔 The only nourishment the patient receives is KE diet powder – an infusion of proteins, fats and micronutrients with no carbohydrates – mixed with water through the feeding tube. The patient only takes in about 800 calories a day, but the infusion is constant and the absence of carbohydrates curbs hunger.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Some South Florida Women Turn to Nose Feeding Tubes To Lose Weight )〕 The dieter does not need hospitalization but requires doctor supervision and can carry the pump and liquid with them. The pump can be removed for up to one hour a day. While on diet, the individual cannot eat anything and may only drink water, tea, coffee (with no milk, sugar or sweeteners) or sugar-free herb teas with the tube in. Laxatives may be given to dieters to ease constipation caused by the diet.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= K-E Diet Craze: Miami Doctor Puts Brides-To-Be On Feeding Tubes to Lose Weight )〕 Due to low carbohydrate consumption, the body goes into a state of ketosis in which it burns the fats stored in the body.〔 The dieter does not feel hungry during the duration of the diet because the mixture suppresses the appetite.〔〔 Practitioners screen their patients before administering the diet to them and monitor them with blood and urine tests during the diet.〔 The diet does not stop someone from gaining weight in the future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The most extreme diet ever?
