Eating a lot of saturated fat might make your body less responsive to insulin and cause fat to build up in your liver. If you also eat a lot of protein, it could push your body to make more sugar,...

Eating a lot of saturated fat just once might quickly mess with how your liver and body handle sugar and fat, possibly increasing the risk of fatty liver and insulin problems.

Eating saturated fat might quickly change how your liver handles fat and how your body controls blood sugar — not just over years, but within a short time.

Eating lower-sugar and lower-saturated-fat foods for two weeks doesn’t seem to change how much new fat your liver makes — so if liver fat goes down, it’s probably because of something else.

If you're eating a lot of fat—more than 37% of your daily calories—switching to healthier fats like olive oil might not help your body respond to insulin better. But if your overall fat intake is lower, making that switch could actually help.

Switching to healthier carbs and fats—without eating fewer calories—can cut liver fat by nearly a third in just two weeks for overweight people.
