Hi Zand,
How do you know it was aspartame that caused your fatty liver? And does fatty liver cause insulin resistance? Not being deliberately argumentative, just genuinely interested as someone who also has suffered from elevated liver numbers. Thanks.
Can't remember which liver test it was, sorry, it's the one that should be below 35. Well mine was 154 and 158 in the next one. The only thing I changed was stopping the diet drinks and it went down to around 80. I had been to the doctor because I couldn't lose weight. She wasn't very helpful so I bought a load of books and read about syndrome X and insulin resistance. It all fitted. I remember reading that fatty liver and also a high cholesterol ratio could cause insulin resistance.. Since cutting out the worst carbs...bread, sugar , pasta, potatoes, rice ...my reading has gone down to 40. I did read on a thread here the other day that the body 'thinks' diet drinks are like carbs, so this could explain why. Sorry, I can't remember which books now, it was a long time ago.
I decided to work on my liver because if that wasn't working properly, how could I lose weight?
I should also mention that my intake of fats, both saturated and unsaturated has gone up during this time.
I realise this isn't very scientific, but nowadays I tend to listen to anecdotal evidence, especially if I have heard the same thing from 3 or 4 people. I have found out many valuable pieces of advice this way. Hope this helps, it may or it may not.
