The quality and quantity of your diet is much more important for reversing fatty liver disease than the time of day you start or stop eating.

In the study I’ve shared today using different types of fasting did not enhance the liver fat loss experienced by participants following a Mediterranean diet that was calorie reduced.

We all know someone that used fasting strategies to improve their health but that’s not the question we should care about

The question to care about is whether or not fasting accelerates liver fat loss when someone is already doing a great job with their diet

This study shows it does not - which really just means you should not sacrifice the quality of your diet (or your life) just for the sake of intermittent fasting …

But if you enjoy fasting and it offers a net benefit to how you eat and enjoy your day - carry on because nutrition is the ultimate game of “to each their own”.

A little summary of the expected benefit of using 10g per day of psyllium fibre over a multi-month period in people with elevated blood markers related to blood sugar and blood fats.

The extent of the benefit will vary depending on the individual, the exact dose, how long it’s used for and other factors like medication etc.

Which singular fruit and vegetable is most under-appreciated relative to its potential to meaningfully influence human health?

The robots have spoken, and I tend to agree.

If you think you don’t like canned sardines try pan frying them with your favourite seasoning until they are nice and crispy.

If you still don’t like sardines after that then you REALLY don’t like sardines 😂

Lots to love about them though, swipe for more.

Happy Magnesium Monday!

This creation also has 15g of fibre too 😉

Getting enough magnesium in your diet is one of the most effective dietary strategies one can pursue to lower the risk of progressing from pre to type 2 diabetes AND to lower the risk of ever ending up with insulin resistance or diabetes to begin with.

The reasons for this are twofold:

1. Magnesium plays a big role in the release of and response to insulin

2. Magnesium is mostly found in foods that are very good for you for other reasons

Keep in mind the average person does not consume enough magnesium in their diet and is thus not adequately consuming those foods.

But what are THOSE foods?!

You’ll have to read my magnesium-focused blog post, linked in my bio, to find out.

Or you could just google it but that’s way less fun.

Bringing in some MUFAs in place of saturated fat, refined carbohydrates or MFers will meaningfully improve your metabolic health and put you on a better path to resolving insulin resistance and fatty liver disease.

Their superior ability to stimulate GLP-1 release is only one amongst many strong justifications.

If physical activity isn’t your strong suit I want you to know that even a relatively straightforward and beginner friendly routine can play a meaningful role in your fight back against fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.

Swipe to see what I mean.

This routine alone will help but won’t be nearly as effective if you don’t combine it with a very strong nutrition strategy.

That’s where I come in.

Today’s F***l Friday content is brought to you in part by the letter C.

Not for coffee

Not for caffeine

But C for Chlorogenic acid the unique polyphenol compound found mainly in coffee (but also in artichoke!) which scientists believe helps to slow the absorption of glucose in our intestines ultimately playing a modest but potentially meaningful role in protecting us against insulin resistance and the negative health outcomes it is associated with it.

All this AND coffee helps you p**p?

We aren’t worthy.
