Unlock the Surprising Dietary Hacks That Could Reverse Fatty Liver Disease Faster Than You Think
And how do we know excess dietary fat is bad? Because it’s also been put to the test. When people were randomized to a low-fat diet or a high-fat diet with the same number of calories, within just two weeks, the liver fat of those on the low-fat diet decreased by 20 percent, whereas it increased by 35 percent in the participants getting the same number of calories but on a high-fat diet.
On the low-fat diet, insulin levels went down about 15 percent, and on the high-fat diet, insulin levels went up about 15 percent. Low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diet advocates often talk about how we need to eat more fat and less carbs to keep our insulin levels down, but the exact opposite happens when it’s actually put to the test. A single high-fat meal not only increases liver fat but also insulin resistance. Within four hours, our whole-body insulin sensitivity can drop by 25 percent, so our body has to pump out that much more insulin. As the accompanying editorial put it: “A single fat bolus [dose] packs a punch.”
