EngagementModerate engagement

ImpactModerate impact

Posts suggest the research could influence dietary approaches and medical advice, but the tone remains exploratory rather than decisively transformative.

Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how different lifestyle interventions, including diet and physical activity, impact fat distribution in various body regions over 18 months in adults with obesity and dyslipidemia.
  • Results showed that both the Mediterranean low-carb diet and physical activity particularly reduced visceral fat and liver fat, with the combination of the two being more effective than diet alone.
  • Overall, physical activity had a stronger influence on reducing visceral fat regardless of diet, and the Mediterranean diet was particularly effective in decreasing fat in the liver and around the heart, contributing to healthier fat redistribution.]

This is interesting! for NAFLD liver disease (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) a Mediterranean Diet with low carb (<40 g/day) for 18 months, plus exercise, lead to substantial drop in liver fat % over Med Diet alone w/ exercise.

@whsource @garytaubes @joerogan Not all body fatness is created equal though and indiscriminate weight loss is not a good target for disease prevention. https://t.co/9lE9uTUBDn https://t.co/Xy8lOxG6Qj https://t.co/OcVHTkmDZg

@puddleg @ethanjweiss Their CENTRAL study is also consistent with your speculation on adipose depot specific benefits of low-carb @ethanjweiss "The MED/LC diet was superior to the low-fat diet in decreasing intrahepatic, intrapericardial, and pancreatic fats" https://t.co/D0MU5qcjMz

@HecticSC @hananrosen1 תזונה לא מנצחת פעילות גופנית בסיפור הזה. אני מבין שאתה מתייחס להשמנה מטבולית במשקל תקין. ישנה עבודה מאוד מקיפה שתקפה את הסוגייה הזו, ומצאה שפעילות גופנית היא מכרעת בדיכוי השמנה זו. מוזמן לקרוא: https://t.co/S0ELYjLAtn

@Race__Realist @IndPatriotLV @BioLayne @whsource My patients usually take 2 months or less to lose that amount of weight. I'm not saying exercise does not work, but it's not very effective. Exercise has many other benefits, that show up really fast, but weight lost its not one of them. https://t.co/1rkuD9VY0M

@Pirulla25 E pra encerrar, por enquanto, mais um ensaio randomizado, mostrando como lowcarb é melhor para a perda de gordura visceral. ENSAIO RANDOMIZADO. https://t.co/hcmgn9z1Fh Espero honestamente que dê uma lida. Tem muito louco que acha que o mundo tem que ser LCHF. Não precisa
