True. I follow a ketogenic diet plus Lecithin and Inositol daily supplements. I have lost most of my belly fat within the first three months of the diet. My blood tests are suprisingly great. Only side effects I have to deal with is brain fog and dizzyness.

I have fatty liver and I am doing the keto diet. I have been on the diet since the first of June and I have lost 18 kgs or 39 pounds. I was wondering if the keto diet would be helped by this diet. I am so glad to see that it does. I was originally 92kgs my ideal weight is between 62 kgs 136 pounds and 70 kgs or 154 pounds. I am currently 74 kgs or 163 pounds. My goal is to get to 65kgs. I am 55 now and I want to be healthier in my sixties than I was in my thirties.

I believe you. I know healthy people following keto. But what do you do when your liver isn't processing fats properly, how can someone fix that?

I was doing Ketogenic diet and I.F.. How come my AST and Alt are high? I have fatty liver before changing my diet.

It can cause it, expecially if rich in PUFA and followed beyond a seasonal cycle of few months at most
