Ketogenic Diet in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this randomized trial is to examine the effects of a ketogenic diet on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Twenty-four participants with NAFLD will be randomized to receive a ketogenic meal plan or control (standard weight loss meal plan). Participants will be followed up to 28 days after initiation of the diet intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

We will conduct a randomized trial to examine the effects of a ketogenic diet on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Twenty-four participants with NAFLD will be randomized into one of two groups: 12 participants will be randomized to receive a ketogenic meal plan and 12 participants will be randomized to receive a standard weight loss meal plan. There will be one screening visit and three study visits: the baseline visit, and follow-up visits 14 days and 28 days after initiation of the diet intervention. The study team hypothesizes that participants randomized to a ketogenic diet will have a greater reduction in intrahepatic triglycerides compared to those randomized to a standard weight loss diet. ;
