Ep. 65: How Fat-Burning And Low-Carb Diets Contribute to Fatty Liver (NAFLD Part 3)

In this episode we discuss:

• Why low-carb diets are NOT a good solution for fatty liver

• How fat-burning and lipolysis actually contribute to fatty liver 

• Why ketone production is a sign of stress and inhibited mitochondrial respiration

• The role of uncoupling in NAFLD and why aiming to increase uncoupling is misguided 

• Why low-fat diets don’t directly address the root cause of NAFLD
