The Claim
In obese adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, low-carbohydrate caloric restriction is associated with significant reductions in body weight (7%), visceral fat (34%), and abdominal subcutaneous fat (24%), but peripheral glucose disposal shows no significant change.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When overweight people with fatty liver disease eat fewer carbs and calories, they lose weight and belly fat, but their body's ability to handle sugar doesn't really change.
See the scientific wording
Low-carbohydrate caloric restriction in obese adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with significant reductions in body weight (7%), visceral fat (34%), and abdominal subcutaneous fat (24%), but peripheral glucose disposal shows no significant change, based on measurements in a small group.
What the research says
1 studyThe study tested the same diet as the claim and found it reduced weight and belly fat without changing how the body handles sugar, just like the claim said.
