Dietary quality improvements beyond macronutrient tracking led to a 50% reduction in liver fat on MRI scans and an average weight loss of three pounds in children.

“liver in almost any quantity they saw a 50% reduction on MRI in liver fat but if you want to be technically you know rigorous they lost three pounds on average now I don't know that the three pounds matters that much but I think your broader point is they almost assuredly cleaned up the quality of their diet in ways that's difficult to measure even just looking at the macros because I think it's easy to report the macros in a study like that well carbohydrate content was unchanged you know protein went down a little fat went up a little or vice versa but at the micronutrient level or at the amino acid level I just don't think that stuff's being tracked”
