Ketogenic diet and NAFLD

in health •  7 years ago 

An integrated understanding of the rapid metabolic benefits of a carbohydrate-restricted diet on hepatic steatosis in humans (Mardinoglu et al., 2018)

I did a much deeper dive on this on Patreon, but wanted to touch on a side topic here.

If you're conducting a diet and the participants lose weight, then that must be where you first look for reasons to explain any improvements in health. Regardless of the actual intervention. High protein, exercise, vegetarian, ketogenic, whatever. Confounded by weight loss.

The scientists were aware of the importance of this and tried to prevent weight loss by supplementing the diet with macadamia nuts whenever body weight declined. The participants still lost weight, so we can't say carbohydrate restriction clears out liver fat.

That's all for now!
