New study: Can low carb help reverse a fatty liver?

Can low carb help reverse a fatty liver?
A team of Swedish researchers just published a new study in the peer-reviewed journal Cell Metabolism. Obese subjects suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) followed a low-carbohydrate diet without restricting calories.
Lead author Jan Boren of the University of Gotheburg reported some fantastic effects of carbohydrate restriction on liver fat:
We observed rapid and dramatic reductions of liver fat and other cardiometabolic risk factors and revealed hitherto unknown underlying molecular mechanisms.
Another benefit of following a low-carbohydrate diet, supported by science. Read the full article here:

I use to be a body builder I went from 208 to 186.
I am new to all of this. Have read that what is better to do is to do lower carb like 100 grams a day of low glycemic load foods and eat lower fat diet. Am i going on the right track?
Would appreciate anyones suggestions on what to eat to lose the weight for both insulin resistance and fatty liver.
Im all confused.
Thanks
Many doctors are treating both fatty liver and diabetes with keto/low carb diets. The ingredients in the protein/fiber shakes are not great. You can sign up for our free two week challenge with recipes and meal plans here - https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/get-started
I am not aware of any research showing that a ketogenic diet would be contraindicated with cirrhosis or any modifications that would need to be made. It may be important to discuss this dietary change with your doctor before beginning.
I am sorry that your daughter is going through this. Going off alcohol and cutting the carbs will help heal the liver. If she is experiencing extreme liver damage, her doctor may have her on medication and it's important to work with the physician.
It may help NASH as well as NAFLD.
I’m looking a ketogenic diet for my hubby, he is not even in proper weight ( can say underweighted for long since, but in good health) but reported NAFLD for the last 12 years, his stomach size is also very normal. Our lifestyle is also very much normal, trying to avoid junk and fried food, used to cook with olive oil. So my problem is how I can measure calories or menus because my hubby needs to reduce fat from lever but he should not loose weight at all. Also his metabolism is very good, what he intakes can digest quickly that is he feels hungry in regular intervals.
Sorry for my big note, can you please share your experience?
Hi, Nimi! Most people have no issue incorporating dairy. This article may be helpful! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/guides/fatty-liver-disease
Had a altrasound done for gallbladder. Found out it was fatty liver. I was told to diet and exercise. T2D. They told me to try the Mediterranean diet. Which one is best. Keto or Mediterranean?
The two are not mutually exclusive! You can read more in this guide.
