Both a low-carbohydrate high-polyunsaturated fat (LCPUFA) diet and a Healthy Nordic Diet (HND) significantly reduced liver fat compared to usual care over 12 months.
The Healthy Nordic Diet led to greater reductions in body weight and HbA1c compared to both the LCPUFA diet and usual care.
Only the HND group showed significant improvements in systemic inflammation (CRP), triglycerides, and liver enzymes (ALT/AST).
Both active diets similarly reduced LDL-cholesterol, demonstrating the lipid-lowering potential of replacing saturated fats with plant-based sources or whole grains.
