See the technical phrasing
In overweight adults with type 2 diabetes, a 6-week carbohydrate-reduced high-protein diet achieves a 26% greater reduction in intrahepatic fat compared to a conventional diabetes diet when both diets are matched for weight loss, indicating that carbohydrate restriction independently enhances liver fat clearance beyond the effects of caloric deficit alone.
