"And now we know better." Not everyone. Last year my doctor told me to cut down on fat to improve the NAFLD. I laughed, walked out of his office for the last time, and got serious about Keto. Haven't had it checked again yet, but since then I've lost 50 pounds and lowered my AIC from 5.9 to 5.2. :)
Mine sent me a prescription for a statin when my total cholesterol was just over 200 on my annual bloodwork. I knew I had been eating way too many carbs during the start of the pandemic, but he never asked me if anything had changed with my eating. Anyway, I threw that out and got back on track cutting out the carbs as well as doing some intermittent fasting, and dropped 45 lbs. Can't wait to go back this year and tell him to pound sand with his pills. I really need to find a new doctor.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
Thank you Doc!!! Again! Please don’t give up on us. Keep shoveling the knowledge and wisdom. We need it to replace the ignorance and mindsets of this current age of nutrition!!!!
“Understand what you’re doing to yourselves, folks” is why we need to understand this-so we can be accountable & change health for the better. How can anyone not care with this clear explanation?
My younger sister died from NAFLD...she was always a carbaholic...I am trying to do better. Miss her so much and have learned so much since she passed.
5-7 days to reverse fatty liver ???? I thought it was 5-7 months for severe fatty liver ... ? THANK YOU for not dumbing it down to us ... I love this video
True! I’ve been doing keto for almost two weeks now due to high triglycerides and NAFLD. Now I no longer look 6 months pregnant. Can’t wait to get my triglycerides tested again.
@@bkf778 I am insulin resistant, pre diabetic. Haven’t had insulin tested in a while but it was high. Fasting blood sugar was 7 which is bad. I have no choice anymore. Have to quit carbs.
@@fuzzybunny3235 good luck. Be careful that your blood sugar doesn’t get too low because medicine will still be working while you’re not eating carbs. If you don’t know dr ken berry is also a good person to follow here
I have a fatty liver and I already knew the cause and am in the process of correcting these bad habits. I’m so glad I found your channel. I am soaking it all up like a sponge. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is all so, very helpful.
Great video!!! I was diagnosed with NAFL a year ago. I have been carnivore for 7 months and lost a ton of weight. Not sure if my liver is healed but my carb addiction sure is in remission. I have a friend who is currently in the hospital and was dx with NA cirrhosis and has ascites and had 5 gallons of fluid drained from her abdomen. I don’t want to be like that!!!!!
I had a CT scan last summer because I had some small spots on my lungs even though I'm a nonsmoker and live alone, but the radiologist reads everything seen in the scan. My lung spots had gotten smaller and were not seen as a problem, but I was diagnosed with a severe fatty liver and severe coronary calcifications for which my doctor immediately wanted to put me on a statin, but I refused. No suggestion was made for my severe fatty liver but after decades of eating a high carb diet I wasn't surprised at the fatty liver although I had no symptoms from it. In August I went on the keto diet/lifestyle and in 6 weeks I lost about 40 pounds which included my abdominal fat in particular (I reckoned that when you go into ketosis that your body burns the fat where you have it). In the course of the next few months I weaned myself off of my 4 hypertension meds. I had my yearly physical in January and had not seen my doctor in a year and when he saw me and my weight loss he was just, "Wow! Look at you." I reminded him the last thing I said to him upon leaving a year earlier was that only good can come from losing weight. He was perfectly fine with my keto diet and said he has other patients get off their blood pressure meds with keto and that maybe he would try it himself. I have another CT scan scheduled for this summer to see how the lung spot are doing and the radiologist will again report on my liver and I hope it will be seen to no longer be a severe fatty live. I hope my coronary calcifications will be improved as well. At age 68 I am no longer on any prescribed medications and my doctor told me that I am a pharmaceutical company's worst nightmare. He knows the deal and part of how he gets paid is tied to patient improvement for the conditions they are being treated and it's easier and quicker to accomplish that by prescribing a pill rather than suggesting a lifestyle change to improve their health.
Look into vitamin K. It is claimed that this pulls out excessive calcium from tissues back into the skeleton. Apparently calcium is drafted into blood vessels (along with cholesterol) as a means of repairing artery walls damaged by too much sugar. This ,however, causes blockages and possible strike and heart attacks. I'm looking into it myself whilst doing key and intermittent fasting.
Wow, fantastic video! Thank you so much for everything you do. You make it so easy to understand what's going on in our bodies from eating carbs and how easy it is to fix. Whenever I feel like caving into my carb addiction I put on your videos. Again, thank you so much!!!
I went through years of being vegan/Macrobiotic/vegetrian-- all very high carb diets. I have been doing Carnivore now for 1 month-- Diagnosed with NAFLD and My Liver numbers from May 3 ' 22 were extremely high and my Cholesterol was 379 since I started Carnivore, yet my HDL was 117 and LDL was 250 and triglycerides- 61and I have a scan scheduled in about 1 1/2 weeks. Dr. Cywes gives me lots of hope. I usually eat a beef meal or eggs/salmon in the morning and then in the evening another red meat meal. I am feeling more energy and a few other improvements after only a month. I think the electrolytes are improving and thirst in the middle of the night. Thank you for the excellent video!!
@@stevenjackson5213 oh you are so wrong about God. He created everyone and everything. He intensely cares about the humans he created. We are made in the image of God, but Adam when he sinned messed up a perfect world. Now, we are a sinners, separated by one Holy and Almighty God. The only way to reconcile with a holy God is to come to a saving knowledge of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus gave Himself up on the cross and was crucified for His people. We cannot come to God through a decision, not walking down an isle and saying a prayer. God, the Father, must draw us to himself. When you sense that strong pull to be saved, respond immediately or each time you deny God and refuse His offer of salvation, you harden your heart even more. When you sense God's calling, drawing you to Himself, run to Jesus Christ, He is the one who suffered and died for you. He took our sins upon Himself for us (the saved, children of God) and suffered and died for me and you, if you put all your trust into the God of the universe, creator of all things. Repent, (turn away from your sins) plead for forgiveness, seek God and be saved! The Holy Spirit will come into you and transform you, because God has given you a new heart to love Him and to obey Him with. Faith in Jesus Christ means action, obeying what God commands of everyone in the Bible, stop sinnining, tell others of the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, tithe, grow in holiness, it is a lifelong striving, join a Bible believing, Bible teaching Church to be around other Christians who will love you and help you grow in the knowledge of God. This is the true church. There are many false churches and teachers out there. Be blessed.

I ate low fat for many years and had high trigs too, Sarah, and wound up with heart disease. Watch trigs/HDL ratio. Mine was 200+/25= >8x. Trigs/HDL goal is 1-1.5x, such as 60 trigs/60 HDL=1.0x. I went keto, now I'm at around 75-100/50=1.5-2x. Got as low as 54/48=1.1x.

Wow thankyou so much for your wisdom and great enthusiasm. I had autoimmune hepatitis back in the nineties l was terribly unwell. Had three years of treatment before l was well again. Twenty years later l had a fatty liver, that was nine years ago l wasn’t told how to fix it until l heard you say 4-5 days carbohydrate free. Last year l was being tested cuz plaques in heart and had to have a bypass, l am recovering well but l often wonder what my liver is doing or not as the case may be. Just stumbled upon your website great info thankyou once again.
That's an interesting tidbit that you can get rid of NAFLD in 5 to 10 days. I had assumed, thought I heard, that it might take much longer to reverse. Like months. Really appreciate your videos and the information presented.
@@robertcywes2966 As an on-going patient of yours, your wisdom and words are always heard and appreciated. This video was frightening, to say the least. Hopefully it is frightening in a way that will wake people up and start them on a better path toward health. One question, once you have moved on from NAFLD to the next level, is it detectible in your bloodwork assuming the proper tests are run and what test(s) would that be? Thank you for your tireless efforts to help people become more knowledgeable and able to manage their own health.
Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania...years ago GP screamed at me You have a fatty liver ! ! ! Well I had no idea what that was about...never explained anything....Thank You again...
Thanks for your fantastic video! I had Nash for 10 years. 42 now. Now 2 years high fat carnivore. Is my liver just stabilized or restored? What about some Bourbon now and then? Thank you!
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis (very rare) 3 years ago with sky high liver enzymes and a liver biopsy showing stage 2 fibrosis. I have an ultrasound each year looking for fatty liver among other things. So far that has never shown up. My gastroenterologist does not recommend any diet except the usual party line. I was already a low carber, but I went even lower to near zero. So far with just the minimum maintenance dose of an immune suppressor drug I have had no flairs and my liver enzymes checked every 3 months are both near 20. I credit the very low carb diet for managing this AIH even though the medical profession says there is not a diet to follow (except one that would raise my blood sugar!) It is my understanding that it is possible to reverse the stage of fibrosis, but I will have to be on immune suppressors the rest of my life even if another biopsy shows no fibrosis. Even those that have transplants still have the autoimmune disease and it returns, since it is not a liver disease per se.
I wish I'd known about the Carb and sugar thing yrs ago, unfortunately I have NAFLD and its been there for yrs. Going for a fibrous scan to see how bad. Thank you for the great info. Hopefully it hasn't crossed beyond repair.
Thanks Doc.. I'm good on food but hopeless when it comes to not drinking beer /whisky just like being a bit pissed...do you reckon I'm wasting my time doing Low Carb / Keto .
I’m not sure if anyone loves beer more than I do. Perhaps once a weeks I’ll drink 2 Bud select 55’s. I don’t think you can beat 110 calories and 4grams of sugar for 24 ounces. It works for me but drinking regular beer consistently is what got most of us into the mess we’re in. Good luck
I lost the taste for alcohol after a few weeks in ketosis, 2 years ago, but I still enjoy a local craft beer from time to time. My blood labs tell me I’m still good to go.
Hi Dr. Cywes, Could you make a video where you address the dietary guidelines as recommended by the WHO. I read through some parts of their World Cancer Report 2020 and what I found highly surprising was that they consistently advise against high consumption of red meat and even go as far as stating that it could potentially cause cancer such as colorectal cancer for example. Another thing I find a bit strange is that they use the term "processed meat" almost always after using "red meat". To my understanding and watching a lot of your material, these are two completely different things. Thanks!
After 12.000 hours of fasting and lowcarb diet for 2.5 years, the u/s showed fatty liver. How’s that possible since it is reversible in days or months? @Robert Cywes
Great information, Dr Cywes. Thank you. At some point, could you do a talk on using insulin to reduce insulin resistance in a keto type 2 diabetic? I'd find that fascinating, and if you could put that together, it would be so excellent. It's about impossible to find information on.
How many grams of chicken or beef liver per a week is safe to eat? and Is it true that we can reverse or reduce fatty liver by eating liver itself. Thanks.
None of my doctors ever told me I had a fatty liver. They never gave me a chance to get healthier when I was younger and I had a chance to get healthy. I just read a recent CT of mine and it said “ moderate to severe hepatic steatosis”. I don’t understand why they never said anything to me. They took away my choice.
How do we know if we have non alcoholic fatty liver? Our blood tests for liver enzymes are always “normal”. Is that enough? Or could there be fatty liver with normal enzyme levels?
During the process of healing there are some crisis, your body is getting rid of toxins stored on your body fat, be patient you'll see results sooner than later!
1/1/2020 test Alkaline Pho - 157, ast - 21, alt - 19 , 7/21/20 test alkaline pho- 142, ast - 21, alt - 17, started keto 6 month to help this issue and test in 2/9/21 alkaline pho - 216, ast - 32, alt - 35. Hope I was clear, what am I doing wrong? Only eating clean keto. Thanks for looking at my issue.
@@lindareed1374 I recommend an elimination diet for 4 weeks to see how it works kind of ketovore or carnivore not even berries, avoid tomatoes, greens just a bit. You have to wait patiently, I understood your question, I hope you understand there is no a straight line to better results, there are more areas of your body affected by visceral fat and body healing process is hard to determine.
I have been diagnosed with Nash. I have begun a Ketovore lifestyle to help my liver in healing. Concerned if high cortisol in the body will cancel the benefits of the ketovore diet, preventing healing to liver??? Very worried...does anyone have an answer to my question?
If you're worried about cortisol, you're only making the problem worse. Just make sure you get plenty of fat and less protein than you think to go easy on your liver. Something like 1:2 or 75g protein to 150g fat, versus the usual 50:50 some do for keto.
Hi Dr Cywes, I am reaching out to you because I have been diagnosed with NAFLD. I live in the UK. My ELF Score is 10.0. I am awaiting a fiBroScan on March 17 th . I am very worried. My Hepatologist mentioned gastric sleeve surgery because of my weight. Is this necessary? Or is my very low carb (
Dr. Cywes actually says “mitochondrion” in this video. I’ve never heard anyone else say that on UA-cam. Everyone else says “mitochondria” whether they mean a mitochondrion or mitochondria in general. Maybe his South African education was more rigorous about using terms correctly.
Dear Sir; I wonder what your attitude would be to Dr Ray Peat's views. He is a human biochemist who all his life has been researching PUFAs ; thyrode and other hormones and nutrition He is very knowledgeable and well read in medical hystory physics and chemistry in their interdependence with nutrition and human desease His latest published interview is under : Dr Ray Peat; Day Two from On the back of a tigerl the channel is called Perceive Think Act He is 85 now and retired
Too much fat and you'll get undigested fat in your stools. Or gain weight if you manage to fight the fullness. Too little fat and too much protein is usually the problem. Too much protein and one that's insulin resistant can try to run off of protein for energy instead of the fat. And you want the protein for building blocks, not fuel.
Every time I fall off the wagon and eat carbs again, my fatty liver disease comes right back. I get called back into the doctors office and get asked how much alcohol I’m drinking! I’m not totally sure I’m believed. So I then say, I know why that’s happened. I have to go back to my carnivore eating and it’ll disappear again when I do. Again, I don’t think I’m believed. But I’m a believer! 😝
Doc doc dear doc? No drink...no smoke...lol goid..ratio good...Aic 5.9. I am perfect😆BUT PLEASE ANSWER MY LITTLE QUESTION". CKD 3B. Must limit my animal protein(purins). Helpppppppp😥
Sorry. It doesn't go away in 3-5 days. I had a fibro scan after a year on keto and carnivore, and I still had moderate fatty liver and mild scarring. I'll be having another one this fall to see if there have been any changes.
Thanks for the great detail! Enhancing a layman's understanding of the biology involved is a really cool thing, and I appreciate it a lot. So I'm hearing that ketosis clears fatty liver in a week. However, some visceral fat is stubborn, right? After more than two years keto, I still have visceral fat. Will it ever go away? If so, how could the process be described?
Maybe the prolem is that u are eating too much fat and calories... i know people that have fatty liver doing carnivore... just too muich fat and calories... u still need a calorie deficit for reverse a fatty liver
From webMD: High triglyceride levels can be a clue that you have fatty liver disease. Poor eating habits lead not only to high levels of fat in the bloodstream (triglycerides) but increased storage of fat throughout the body, including in the liver. Elevations in liver function tests (like ALT and AST) can indicate that fatty liver is present. Fatty liver usually does not cause symptoms, but unless reversed, fatty liver can lead to permanent liver damage and cirrhosis.
Depending on your activity level you might be able to get it away with it for a while but in the long run probably not so good for your blood vessels and organs
@@thakraken6995 as far i know, if my HDL and triglycerides are ok my blood vesels shoud be fine. also i think it's big diferenc 300g carbs from buckweat or chocolate.
Who was that video intended for? i felt like I was sitting in a 4th year medical school lecture. You usually do a much better job of explaining medical topics for non medical people. Someone will reply that they understood it. Sure, the general concepts about the damage sugar and insulin do to the liver. But not the highly medical lingo.
"And now we know better." Not everyone. Last year my doctor told me to cut down on fat to improve the NAFLD. I laughed, walked out of his office for the last time, and got serious about Keto. Haven't had it checked again yet, but since then I've lost 50 pounds and lowered my AIC from 5.9 to 5.2. :)

As long as you are a fat burner then it’s healthy. If you are mixing this high fat with high carb, then insulin prevents the fat burning as fuel.
You are the experiment. You are the proof
I don't see why not. I eat a pound of beef 80/20 with a Dozen eggs each day cooked in butter and sometimes olive oil. Never looked or felt better
EXCELLENT information.
wonderful... thanks very much, good education
Wow thankyou so much for your wisdom and great enthusiasm. I had autoimmune hepatitis back in the nineties l was terribly unwell. Had three years of treatment before l was well again. Twenty years later l had a fatty liver, that was nine years ago l wasn’t told how to fix it until l heard you say 4-5 days carbohydrate free. Last year l was being tested cuz plaques in heart and had to have a bypass, l am recovering well but l often wonder what my liver is doing or not as the case may be. Just stumbled upon your website great info thankyou once again.
Thank you!!!! You don't hear this information anywhere else!!
Wow! Powerful stuff. Thanks.
Wow, if that doesn't get your attention, I don't know what will. I wish I had his brain... Now I need to get my Doctor on board.
he knows his stuff, great brain.
That's an interesting tidbit that you can get rid of NAFLD in 5 to 10 days. I had assumed, thought I heard, that it might take much longer to reverse. Like months. Really appreciate your videos and the information presented.
Nafld yes. Nash takes longer
@@robertcywes2966 As an on-going patient of yours, your wisdom and words are always heard and appreciated.
This video was frightening, to say the least. Hopefully it is frightening in a way that will wake people up and start them on a better path toward health. One question, once you have moved on from NAFLD to the next level, is it detectible in your bloodwork assuming the proper tests are run and what test(s) would that be?
Thank you for your tireless efforts to help people become more knowledgeable and able to manage their own health.
good informations👍
Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania...years ago GP screamed at me You have a fatty liver ! ! ! Well I had no idea what that was about...never explained anything....Thank You again...
Any evidence of milk thistle helping clear nafl and/weight loss?
Wallet biopsy
@@robertcywes2966 is that a no? Lol
I used to nod off after lunch a lot. After going carb free it hasn't happened near as much
Thanks for your fantastic video! I had Nash for 10 years. 42 now. Now 2 years high fat carnivore. Is my liver just stabilized or restored? What about some Bourbon now and then? Thank you!
Same here and am also 42
Restoring. Its a process
Thank you SO MUCH AGAIN 💪
How can someone eat a low carb diet and still eat fat to stay satiated if they have had a Splenectomy?
i love your videos. thank you
I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis (very rare) 3 years ago with sky high liver enzymes and a liver biopsy showing stage 2 fibrosis. I have an ultrasound each year looking for fatty liver among other things. So far that has never shown up. My gastroenterologist does not recommend any diet except the usual party line. I was already a low carber, but I went even lower to near zero. So far with just the minimum maintenance dose of an immune suppressor drug I have had no flairs and my liver enzymes checked every 3 months are both near 20. I credit the very low carb diet for managing this AIH even though the medical profession says there is not a diet to follow (except one that would raise my blood sugar!) It is my understanding that it is possible to reverse the stage of fibrosis, but I will have to be on immune suppressors the rest of my life even if another biopsy shows no fibrosis. Even those that have transplants still have the autoimmune disease and it returns, since it is not a liver disease per se.
Strongly recommend LCHF
@@robertcywes2966 thank you. That is what I have been doing for over two years. All markers super excellent, except LDL of course. Refusing statins.
Thanks Rob
I wish I'd known about the Carb and sugar thing yrs ago, unfortunately I have NAFLD and its been there for yrs. Going for a fibrous scan to see how bad. Thank you for the great info. Hopefully it hasn't crossed beyond repair.
How do you tell the difference between a alcoholic fatty liver, and a non-alcoholic fatty liver?
Makes me wonder about places where blood supply is scarce, say joints (arthritis?).
Exactly
Is there a specific plan you can suggest for NAFL? I get the low/no carbs but, it's good to have a plan to follow. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your insight!
Thanks Doc.. I'm good on food but hopeless when it comes to not drinking beer /whisky just like being a bit pissed...do you reckon I'm wasting my time doing Low Carb / Keto .
Do both. U owe it to yourself
I’m not sure if anyone loves beer more than I do. Perhaps once a weeks I’ll drink 2 Bud select 55’s. I don’t think you can beat 110 calories and 4grams of sugar for 24 ounces. It works for me but drinking regular beer consistently is what got most of us into the mess we’re in. Good luck
@@robertcywes2966 No, eventually you'll become a slim drunk.
I lost the taste for alcohol after a few weeks in ketosis, 2 years ago, but I still enjoy a local craft beer from time to time. My blood labs tell me I’m still good to go.
No longer do beer, but bourbon calls me every night
Hi Dr. Cywes,
Could you make a video where you address the dietary guidelines as recommended by the WHO. I read through some parts of their World Cancer Report 2020 and what I found highly surprising was that they consistently advise against high consumption of red meat and even go as far as stating that it could potentially cause cancer such as colorectal cancer for example.
Another thing I find a bit strange is that they use the term "processed meat" almost always after using "red meat". To my understanding and watching a lot of your material, these are two completely different things. Thanks!
After 12.000 hours of fasting and lowcarb diet for 2.5 years, the u/s showed fatty liver. How’s that possible since it is reversible in days or months? @Robert Cywes
Crazy interesting!!
Thank you carb addiction doc
Is the clumping you refer to the same as plaque/ protein aggregation?
Love your work.
Absolutely brilliant 🎊
Great information, Dr Cywes. Thank you. At some point, could you do a talk on using insulin to reduce insulin resistance in a keto type 2 diabetic? I'd find that fascinating, and if you could put that together, it would be so excellent. It's about impossible to find information on.
I would love a consult with you but I'm in Australia. Can I please have a consult. How can I contact you from Australia.
How many grams of chicken or beef liver per a week is safe to eat? and Is it true that we can reverse or reduce fatty liver by eating liver itself. Thanks.
Yes. And no limits
None of my doctors ever told me I had a fatty liver. They never gave me a chance to get healthier when I was younger and I had a chance to get healthy. I just read a recent CT of mine and it said “ moderate to severe hepatic steatosis”. I don’t understand why they never said anything to me. They took away my choice.
What do you think of Silymarin in Milk Thistle & NAC?
How do we know if we have non alcoholic fatty liver? Our blood tests for liver enzymes are always “normal”. Is that enough? Or could there be fatty liver with normal enzyme levels?
NAFL runs most of the time with unperceptive enzymes changes. Remember if you are overweight chances are you have NAFL!
@@dramarcelanovoa Thank you for replying. I’m not overweight.
145lbs, 5’7”.
If u eat a lot of carbs it does
I know so many people who would like to listen to your Wirk - but know only german 🙁 how can we add subtitles????
Does keto affect the gallbladder tho? I prefer low carb but am afraid to eat higher fat.
Have a fatty liver, went on Keto 6 mouths, carbs
"during this time?" What about before?
During the process of healing there are some crisis, your body is getting rid of toxins stored on your body fat, be patient you'll see results sooner than later!
1/1/2020 test Alkaline Pho - 157, ast - 21, alt - 19 , 7/21/20 test alkaline pho- 142, ast - 21, alt - 17, started keto 6 month to help this issue and test in 2/9/21 alkaline pho - 216, ast - 32, alt - 35. Hope I was clear, what am I doing wrong? Only eating clean keto. Thanks for looking at my issue.
@@lindareed1374 I recommend an elimination diet for 4 weeks to see how it works kind of ketovore or carnivore not even berries, avoid tomatoes, greens just a bit.
You have to wait patiently, I understood your question, I hope you understand there is no a straight line to better results, there are more areas of your body affected by visceral fat and body healing process is hard to determine.
@@lindareed1374 your liver enzymes are normal, elevated ALP may be showing bone activity. Don't forget to supplement magnesium and zinc.
What is the cost for the WhatsApp consult
I have been diagnosed with Nash. I have begun a Ketovore lifestyle to help my liver in healing. Concerned if high cortisol in the body will cancel the benefits of the ketovore diet, preventing healing to liver??? Very worried...does anyone have an answer to my question?
If you're worried about cortisol, you're only making the problem worse. Just make sure you get plenty of fat and less protein than you think to go easy on your liver. Something like 1:2 or 75g protein to 150g fat, versus the usual 50:50 some do for keto.
Hi Dr Cywes, I am reaching out to you because I have been diagnosed with NAFLD. I live in the UK. My ELF Score is 10.0. I am awaiting a fiBroScan on March 17 th . I am very worried. My Hepatologist mentioned gastric sleeve surgery because of my weight. Is this necessary? Or is my very low carb (
Dr. Cywes actually says “mitochondrion” in this video. I’ve never heard anyone else say that on UA-cam. Everyone else says “mitochondria” whether they mean a mitochondrion or mitochondria in general. Maybe his South African education was more rigorous about using terms correctly.
How do i know if i have nafl? My blood tests have come out normal. I am 5ft6 and 104kg. I do have a distended abdomen.
The only way to store fat under your skin is having fatty liver first. No need for labs. Maybe an ultrasound or a CT Scan.
If u are HCLF
Dear Sir; I wonder what your attitude would be to Dr Ray Peat's views. He is a human biochemist who all his life has been researching PUFAs ; thyrode and other hormones and nutrition
He is very knowledgeable and well read in medical hystory physics and chemistry in their interdependence with nutrition and human desease
His latest published interview is under : Dr Ray Peat; Day Two from On the back of a tigerl the channel is called Perceive Think Act
He is 85 now and retired
Science has to consider human behavior
@@robertcywes2966 right. But in the human nature is to seek real truth There were so many misconceptions followed
Carbs come from plant matter. So vegans take in a lot of carbs, right?
How do their livers look over the long haul?
excellent question. I'd love to know
when on a 0 carb+0 sugar diet, is it still possible to consume too much fat in your diet? if so, what are the side effects?
Not over time
Too much fat and you'll get undigested fat in your stools. Or gain weight if you manage to fight the fullness. Too little fat and too much protein is usually the problem. Too much protein and one that's insulin resistant can try to run off of protein for energy instead of the fat. And you want the protein for building blocks, not fuel.
Do you take health insurance?
Every time I fall off the wagon and eat carbs again, my fatty liver disease comes right back. I get called back into the doctors office and get asked how much alcohol I’m drinking! I’m not totally sure I’m believed. So I then say, I know why that’s happened. I have to go back to my carnivore eating and it’ll disappear again when I do. Again, I don’t think I’m believed.
But I’m a believer! 😝
Doc doc dear doc? No drink...no smoke...lol goid..ratio good...Aic 5.9. I am perfect😆BUT PLEASE ANSWER MY LITTLE QUESTION". CKD 3B. Must limit my animal protein(purins). Helpppppppp😥
IS CHIRISOS SIMILAR TO LIVER CANCER?
You are pre diabetic with an A1C of 5.9. Greatly reduce your carb, processed foods and sugar intake.
Sorry. It doesn't go away in 3-5 days. I had a fibro scan after a year on keto and carnivore, and I still had moderate fatty liver and mild scarring. I'll be having another one this fall to see if there have been any changes.
I biopsy livers every day. Thats proof
Mine took months.
@@robertcywes2966 maybe for some people. But without a previous biopsy you don't really know what it looked like before.
Thanks for the great detail! Enhancing a layman's understanding of the biology involved is a really cool thing, and I appreciate it a lot.
So I'm hearing that ketosis clears fatty liver in a week. However, some visceral fat is stubborn, right? After more than two years keto, I still have visceral fat. Will it ever go away? If so, how could the process be described?
try fasting...
@@erbd3598 I have.
@@CarbageMan PSMF OMAD? for a long time.... it should work
Maybe the prolem is that u are eating too much fat and calories... i know people that have fatty liver doing carnivore... just too muich fat and calories... u still need a calorie deficit for reverse a fatty liver
@@erbd3598 I've fasted multiple times for multiple weeks and lost over 100 pounds.
Doc doc doc. HOUUUUUUdo I know whether I have a fatty liver?. I used to have one years ago. Doc ignored lol
From webMD: High triglyceride levels can be a clue that you have fatty liver disease. Poor eating habits lead not only to high levels of fat in the bloodstream (triglycerides) but increased storage of fat throughout the body, including in the liver. Elevations in liver function tests (like ALT and AST) can indicate that fatty liver is present. Fatty liver usually does not cause symptoms, but unless reversed, fatty liver can lead to permanent liver damage and cirrhosis.
would 300g of carbs from buckweat or rice could damage my body, if i'm working out with weigts and build muscle?
Do the experiment. In my experience its not a good idea
@@robertcywes2966 Thanks for answer :)
Depending on your activity level you might be able to get it away with it for a while but in the long run probably not so good for your blood vessels and organs
@@thakraken6995 as far i know, if my HDL and triglycerides are ok my blood vesels shoud be fine.
also i think it's big diferenc 300g carbs from buckweat or chocolate.
Is one draft beer a week ok?
Maybe a Scotch and soda is better, lower carb?!
Who was that video intended for? i felt like I was sitting in a 4th year medical school lecture.
You usually do a much better job of explaining medical topics for non medical people.
Someone will reply that they understood it. Sure, the general concepts about the damage sugar and insulin do to the liver. But not the highly medical lingo.
This video was in response to a request to help ppl having nafld with inflammation..the causes n if it's reversible.
Agreed. I sometimes like to nerd out
