Nutrition researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago studied 80 people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and found that those who followed an alternate-day fasting diet and exercised were able to improve their health. The researchers report that over a period of three months people who exercised and alternated feast and fast days — 1eating without restriction one day and eating 500 calories or less the next — saw increased insulin sensitivity and decreased liver fat, weight, and ALT, or alanine transaminase enzymes, which are markers for liver disease.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a buildup of fat and inflammation in patients who drink little to no alcohol. Approximately 65% of obese adults have the disease, and this condition is strongly related to the development of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. If left unchecked, fatty liver disease can lead to more serious complications like cirrhosis or liver failure, but there are limited good drug options for treating the condition.
