Ketogenic Diet Shows Distinct Liver Benefits During Weight Loss
TL;DR Summary
In a randomized trial of metabolically unhealthy obesity, about 10% weight loss with a very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet led to greater reductions in liver fat and hepatic insulin resistance than Mediterranean or fat-restricted plant-forward diets, with higher rates of prediabetes remission and multiple favorable metabolic changes, suggesting macronutrient composition influences liver- and insulin-related cardiometabolic risk beyond weight loss.
