A study featured in Cell Metabolism reveals that a ketogenic diet significantly outperformed both Mediterranean and low-fat diets in reversing prediabetes and fatty liver disease, despite all three groups achieving similar weight loss results. Conducted by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, the trial involved 42 adults with obesity over a span of four to five months. The findings indicated that the keto group experienced a 67% reduction in liver fat, in contrast to 45% in the other two diets, with half of the participants on the ketogenic diet reversing their prediabetes, compared to 29% in the Mediterranean group and only 7% in the low-fat cohort.

00:04a new clinical trial has an answer. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine
00:09put a ketogenic diet head-to-head against a Mediterranean diet and a low-fat,
00:15plant-forward diet in 42 adults with obesity, prediabetes, and fatty liver disease.
00:21All three groups lost about the same amount of weight, around 10% of their body weight,
00:25over 4-5 months, but the keto group saw dramatically better results elsewhere.
00:30Liver fat dropped by 67%, compared to 45% on the other two diets.
00:36Even more striking, half of the keto dieters saw their prediabetes reverse completely,
00:41compared to just 29% on the Mediterranean diet and only 7% on the low-fat plan.
