[QUOTE="zand, post: 506458, member: 85197"] 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. [/QUOTE]
