Treatment of NAFLD With Two Different Diets

Treatment of NAFLD With Two Different Diets

The impact of popular diets on liver-related health is unclear. In this randomized, controlled trial, patients with NAFLD will be randomized to one of two popular diets or a placebo diet.

Subjects will include patients with MRI-verified NAFLD, with no concurrent liver diseases. Randomization will be done to either a control diet, the 5:2 diet or a low-carb-high-fat diet. The subjects will follow the diet for three months, after which a new MRI is performed. Main outcomes measure is reduction in liver fat.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Known NAFLD

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other forms of liver disease
• Bolus insulin treatment
• Cirrhosis
