Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this proposal is to pilot test our existing very-low carbohydrate diet intervention, adapted for adults with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).


Clinical Trial Description

As there are no medications that effectively treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), effective diet and lifestyle treatments are imperative to curb this disease's impact. Our data suggests that insulin resistance is the strongest modifiable risk factor for having NAFLD. Additionally, genetic factors can interact with insulin resistance to multiplicatively increase risk of NAFLD. The investigators hypothesize that a very low-carbohydrate diet and behavioral support program may be able to achieve NAFLD reversal in adults with steatosis and/or mild fibrosis, especially in a subpopulation of rs738409-GG individuals. To prepare to test this, the investigators will conduct a pilot feasibility and acceptability trial of a 4-month online very low-carbohydrate, ketogenic (or keto) program in adults with NAFLD. ;
