Intermittent fasting again rises to the top of non-pharmacological lifestyle management options for impacting MASLD. In this study, published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the authors concluded that “the 12-week intermittent calorie restriction diet was safe and more effective than the standard of care diet in reducing hepatic steatosis, particularly in patients with obesity and MASLD,” Lee and colleagues wrote. “These results support the recommendation of a 5:2 intermittent calorie restriction diet as a useful dietary strategy for patients with MASLD and provide a basis for further research.” “At 12 weeks, a greater proportion of those in the intermittent calorie restriction group achieved the primary outcome (72.2% vs. 44.4%), a difference of 27.8 percentage points (95% CI, 3.3-49.8).” Original source paper: https://lnkd.in/gtQ9PMca American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), EASL | The Home of Hepatology , Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver, Global Liver Institute, Global NASH Council, European Liver Patients' Association - ELPA, LPI LIVER PATIENTS INTERNATIONAL, Giada Sebastiani, RACHAEL SOOD RN, MSN, NP-C, CDCES , Obesity Matters

they should do these studies on moms and nurses. We intermittently fast in the most organic fashion on the planet! Joking but not joking. Intermittent fasting WORKS - it gives the Liver a break and reduces Insulin levels. Let's talk more about the Evolution of the liver... (or lack thereof ;) - next week!).
