I am planning to give it a try mid-October. I am already lean and according to FLI calculator I have no fatty liver anymore. Is there any calculator or surrogate marker for too much fat in the pancreas ?

Only method is apparently MRI as far as I know - the method used by Prof Taylor's group in Newcastle.

If you have read and/or watched much of Professor taylor, you will see/hear he refers to the personal fat threshold, because it all seems to be a very personal thing. Nobody, so far, seems to know the point at which we might pass it on the way up or down.

I didn't do the ND, but when I decided I would weigh myself (having initially totally focused on reducing my blood sugar scores), I bought some scales which measure, by electrical impedance, the body composition, including visceral fat. I was interesting to observe by body composition change along the way.

As Indy says, an MRI would give you a clear picture of your visceral fat, but that's rather expensive and only gives you a starting, and/or ending picture, depending on how many MRIs you had.

There are various views on body composition monitors, but I found them and encouraging tool in changing my body composition, and ensuring I keep the proportions good.

Good luck with it all.
