04:47 You might be surprised, 04:48 so watch this to the end and find out. 04:50 So they did this for eight weeks, 04:52 and for the first two weeks of the study 04:55 they actually bought the groceries for the kids. 04:58 All the kids and their family had access 05:01 to registered dieticians, 05:03 they got routine appointments with the dietician, 05:06 they got all kinds of education on what to eat, 05:08 what not to eat, they gave them meal plans. 05:11 And so, they made it very clear on the low-carb diet, 05:16 this is what you need to eat, 05:18 this is what you need to avoid. 05:19 And then also, the same goes for the low-fat diet. 05:22 They said, this is what you need to eat, 05:23 this is what you need to avoid, 05:25 and they made it very clear to both groups. 05:28 And remember, these kids were randomized 05:30 into group A or group B. 05:32 Nobody knew where they were gonna wind up. 05:34 So there was no researcher bias that was able 05:37 to get into this study 05:38 like is so easy for the bias 05:40 to get into observational studies. 05:42 Both groups, and then so for the first two weeks 05:45 both groups were given groceries. 05:47 One group was given low-carb groceries, 05:49 the other one low-fat groceries. 05:51 And then for the last six weeks, 05:52 they bought their own groceries 05:53 but they still had access to the registered dieticians 05:57 explaining to them what they need to do. 06:00 At four weeks in, they did a three day food diary 06:04 so that the researchers were able to tell, 06:06 yep, this kid's still on track, 06:08 they're still eating the proper diet 06:10 that we've set them up, we've randomized them to eat. 06:13 Both groups were told, and this is very important, 06:16 both groups were told to avoid junk food, 06:20 to avoid just processed crap and carbs, 06:23 to avoid soft drinks. 06:25 And so, both groups were avoiding junk food. 06:27 That's very important. 06:28 So even the low-fat group, 06:30 they weren't eating the standard American crap, 06:32 they were still eating whole fruits, whole vegetables, 06:36 and lean meats. 06:37 You got that? 06:38 So that's very important, 06:39 because a lot of people said oh, well yeah, 06:40 if you compare low-carb with real whole food 06:43 to somebody eatin' the standard American junk, 06:46 obviously that's gonna do better. 06:47 But both of these groups were eating real, whole foods. 06:52 So now lemme tell you what this study actually looked at, 06:54 what it measured. 06:55 And so, they took all these measurements 06:57 I'm about to tell you 06:58 at baseline, before the study began, 07:00 and then they took all these again at eight weeks 07:04 after the study finished. 07:05 And they did these studies in both groups. 07:08 So in both groups before the study started 07:10 they got a magnetic resonance imaging of their abdomen. 07:14 This is by far the gold standard 07:16 to look at fatty liver. 07:17 Ultrasound's good, but MR is better. 07:20 And so, both groups got an MR of the abdomen 07:22 looking specifically at fatty liver, 07:26 how much fat was in their liver. 07:27 Both groups got a DXA body composition scan 07:31 both at the beginning and at the eight week mark. 07:34 Both groups got lab work including a fasting glucose, 07:37 a fasting insulin, a lipid panel, and an hs-CRP. 07:42 And the result of that are also recorded 07:45 in the conclusions of this study, 07:46 which is very interesting. 07:48 Both groups had their HOMA-IR, 07:52 it's a calculated measure of insulin resistance, 07:54 calculated at the beginning and at eight weeks. 07:57 And then they had their resting energy expenditure 08:01 calculated at the beginning and at eight weeks, 08:03 because the second big point about this study 08:06 is that there was no calorie restriction in either group. 08:11 What they did is they did an REE, 08:13 and they tried to figure out for this kid 08:16 how many calories do they need today 08:18 to maintain their weight? 08:20 So there was no calorie restriction. 08:22 This is enough calories, 08:24 this is the calories you were eating before, 08:26 this is the same amount of calories, 08:27 and the calories were the same in both groups. 08:30 So there was no calorie restriction in either arm. 08:33 Hugely important for the conclusions of this study. 08:37 So you with me so far? 08:38 Okay, now let's talk about 08:40 what the results of this study were. 08:42 And they're exactly what I expected them to be, 08:45 but I think many healthcare providers 08:47 and many parents and many people who suffer from fatty liver 08:51 will be blown away by the findings of this study. 08:54 So at the end of the eight week study 08:56 when they crunched all the data, here's what they found. 08:59 The low-carb group lost 2.4% of their body fat. 09:04 The low-fat group lost 0.4%. 09:08 'Kay? 09:08 The low-carb group lost 5.5% of their total fat mass 09:15 in their total body by DXA scan. 09:17 The low-fat group lost 0.1%. 09:21 'Kay, got that? 09:23 Now here's the biggie. 09:24 For liver fat, the low-carb group lost 32% 09:30 of their fat in their liver. 09:32 32%, a third of the fat in their liver was gone 09:36 after eight weeks of a low-carb diet. 09:39 And this diet, in my opinion, it was a lower-carb diet. 09:43 It was nowhere near a keto diet 09:44 or even what I would consider a low-carb diet. 09:46 But still, it was a relatively low-carb diet. 09:50 How much liver fat did the low-fat group lose? 09:55 1%. 09:56 So once and for all, we can put to bed the myth, the lie 10:00 that eating fat will make you fat 10:02 or eating fat will cause fatty liver. 10:05 It does not work that way. 10:07 A low-carb diet removed six times as much fat 10:13 as the low-fat diet. 10:17 So I mean, there's just no way. 10:18 Now both groups, what about, 10:20 you said oh, but I bet the low-carb group 10:22 lost some muscle mass, right? 10:24 Both groups held their lean body mass 10:27 the same through the entire study. 10:29 The DXA scan picked up no change in muscle mass. 10:34 So no, the low-carb group did not lose muscle mass. 10:37 The low-carb group had a significant reduction 10:41 in their liver labwork, their ALT and their AST 10:45 were significantly lower than the low-fat group 10:49 at the end of this study. 10:50 The low-carb group had a significant reduction 10:54 in insulin resistance by the end of this study. 10:56 The low-fat group did not. 10:59 The fasting insulin levels, the lipid panel, and the CRP 11:03 were stable for eight weeks in both groups. 11:05 Neither the low-fat or the low-carb group 11:07 really was affected with those labs in mind. 11:12 Keep in mind, both groups got the amount of protein 11:15 they needed to hold their weight 11:16 and the amount of calories calculated to hold their weight. 11:20 So this was not calorie restriction. 11:23 The low-carb group just ate fewer carbs 11:26 than the low-fat group. 11:28 That's the only difference. 11:29 This is the first randomized trial to ever be done, 11:33 that I know of, in the world 11:34 about low-carb diets and fatty liver. 11:38 I think that if they had done an even lower-carb diet 11:41 they would've seen even more stunning results. 11:44 But this is a great leap forward for everybody in the world, 11:47 all four billion of you who suffer from fatty liver disease. 11:52 So once again, lemme sum up the findings of this study. 11:55 I want you to listen very carefully. 11:56 And this is one of the reasons 11:58 I need you to share this video, 12:00 because this is not equivocal at all. 12:01 This is very cut and dried in this study. 12:04 And there wasn't just a tiny 1.18% difference, 12:08 these are big differences, okay? 12:10 So the low-carb group lost more body fat 12:13 by about four times as much as the low-fat group. 12:17 The low-carb group lost six times as much liver fat 12:21 as the low fat group. 12:23 Huge difference. 12:25 Both groups maintained their lean body mass 12:28 and their muscle mass on the DXA scan. 12:31 The low-carb group had no signs of inflammation 12:35 that the low-fat group didn't have. 12:37 They had no signs of any kind of disease that popped up. 12:40 And again, the liptic panel, their total cholesterol, 12:43 their LDL, their HDL, their triglycerides stayed the same 12:47 from the beginning of the study to week eight. 12:50 It had no effect on their lipid panel 12:53 whether they were low carb or low fat. 12:55 And that's a huge deal. 12:57 So once and for all, calorie restriction, portion control, 13:02 calorie deficit, none of that is going to help you 13:06 reverse your fatty liver disease. 13:09 A low-carb diet is the way to reverse fatty liver disease. 13:14 I think this research study pretty much puts it to bed. 13:18 Now this research has been presented as a poster 13:21 at a recent American Diabetes Association event 13:23 and it has been accepted for publication 13:26 in a peer-reviewed journal. 13:27 I have a full copy, but you can't get a full copy 13:30 as of the making of this video. 13:31 But as soon as it's accepted and published 13:34 in the peer-reviewed journal 13:35 I'll be able to post a link to the full study. 13:38 And I want you to share this video to the heavens 13:40 because there's so many people 13:42 whose doctor is still telling them, 13:44 just move more and eat less, that's all we got. 13:48 It hasn't been proven to work, 13:49 but that's all I can tell you, 13:50 I don't know. 13:52 Join Weight Watchers and join the gym. 13:53 Stop giving that terrible advice, healthcare providers. 13:56 And patients, stop listening to that. 13:58 Say wait a minute, isn't there a study? 14:01 Because now you've got the study. 14:03 All right. 14:04 Now I've got four other fatty liver videos 14:06 on this channel already 14:07 because that's what a big deal it is. 14:09 So I'm gonna put a link here and here 14:11 at the end of this video 14:12 so if you wanna learn more about fatty liver 14:15 or even fatty pancreas, 14:17 you can click one of those links and see more about that. 14:20 Please subscribe to this channel 14:22 so that every time new research like this comes out, 14:25 you'll be one of the very first to know. 14:27 And click the little bell right by the subscribe button 14:30 so that you get a notification, okay? 14:33 This is Dr. Berry. 14:34 I'm so happy to make this video, and I'll see you next time. 15735
