That's really interesting, where did Prof Taylor say it is even better if you can do it with real food? I would like to see that.If you are trying to lose liver fat, the Newcastle diet is specially designed to do just this. It was originally done with shakes but Prof Taylor who designed it says it is even better if you can do it with real food. (800 cal per day for 8 weeks)
He is quoted as saying that in Michael Moseley's book "the 8 week blood sugar diet" Apparently the two of them are mates.That's really interesting, where did Prof Taylor say it is even better if you can do it with real food? I would like to see that.
PS "Reduce food intake. Keep it low for 8 weeks. Then have a stepped return to eating less than you used to".He is quoted as saying that in Michael Moseley's book "the 8 week blood sugar diet" Apparently the two of them are mates.
That's what I told diabesity specialist. He recons that I'll need to half my insulin. I said no. I'll have to take more!!!Crikey!! If I followed that diet my BG would be sky high!
I watched him in a documentary saying that too.If you are trying to lose liver fat, the Newcastle diet is specially designed to do just this. It was originally done with shakes but Prof Taylor who designed it says it is even better if you can do it with real food. (800 cal per day for 8 weeks)

Sorry to hear that William, is there a chance of a second opinion on what the cause is and what action may help? Best wishes. DerekYesterday had another Fibroscan and result is 10.2.
20 months ago the first scan was done and I got a score of 10.5. I cannot believe how little it has reduced in this period of time.
So no reduced carbohydrates @Liam1955 ?
If no dietary changes then milk thistle has indeed made a great difference. Well done.
It's great to see a success story not low carb related.Hi. @ickihun
I have been following a Low Fat "Diet" which was suggested months ago by the Liver Specialist and to eat loads of Vegetables and Fruit. (which I do eat a lot of Veggies)
But, I do have a treat on Saturday = a Strawberry Tart and on Sunday = a bag of Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons. If I didn't have a treat then I would not stick to the diet plan. And the Diabetologist "suggested" keep weekends for treats and only one each day, but be strict and stick with my diet Monday to Friday.
However, I have not lost any weight and just remain the same week in - week out!
I am type 2 and not on meds. Do I have to low carb? it sounds like you dont have to low carb because of the insulin you take. Is that right?It's great to see a success story not low carb related.
I think many are reluctant to post successes not low carb related lately.
I think insulin takers like us should keep your success in mind when thinking about changing to dramatic diets for liver health. Im delighted with your success! Bravo.
Great to see milk thistle's assistance is helping too. I will copy if I cannot keep my levels down in none xmas periods. Too many Halloween jellies may interfer with my next test too. Oops!
Just need to maintain my weight loss over the winter, then try again in 2018. I'm all knackered out with dieting again.
Maintance is the best I can hope for.
I low carb but still need insulin when im in pain, ill or thyroid plays up. Oh and when I get loose tummy from metformin or side affects from heart meds. Insulin resistance problems since I was 5yr old but just gone on insulin after 40yrs of uncontrolled sugar and obesity problems. Ive fought but some wars arent always won. Luckily I can live another day to fight again.I am type 2 and not on meds. Do I have to low carb? it sounds like you dont have to low carb because of the insulin you take. Is that right?
