Can the Keto Diet reduce liver fat more than other diets?
Liver fat fell 67% with keto, versus 45% with two other diets, in a small study.
Healio reported on people following three eating plans. These were the Keto Diet, Mediterranean Diet, and a plant-forward diet. The report included results for people with prediabetes. That means blood sugar is above normal, but below the diabetes range. The provided excerpt does not give their ages, total number, or study length.
All three groups lost liver fat, but the largest drop was with Keto Diet. Liver cells also became better at responding to insulin. This hormone helps control blood sugar. That improvement was two to three times greater than in either comparison group.
Blood sugar readings across 24 hours fell 20% in the Keto Diet group. They fell 8% in each of the other groups. Half of those with prediabetes in the Keto Diet group reversed it. That compared with 29% in the Mediterranean Diet group and 7% in the plant-forward group.
These results are promising, but the study was small. They do not establish which diet works best for everyone. The excerpt also leaves open how long these changes lasted.
For BioSocial members, this offers a reason to compare more than diet labels. Your starting numbers, follow-up dates, and routine give changes useful context. Sharing those details alongside uploaded bloodwork can make community comparisons more meaningful. Keep the measures separate, too: a blood sugar change is not a liver-fat measurement. The reported percentages describe group results, not a target for each member.
What changes have you seen in your blood sugar or liver-fat results while following Keto Diet?
