But a new study published in JAMA Network Open<\/em> reveals a simple diet change that can reduce the amount of fat in the liver by a whopping 34%.<\/p>\n It all happens in a few weeks.<\/p>\n Scientists in Washington D.C. recruited 244 participants, all with a body mass index between 28 and 40\u2014in other words, overweight or obese. Eighty-seven percent were female and 48% were white. They had an average age of 54.4 years. <\/p>\n The participants were divided into two groups. One group was told to continue their current dietary habits while the other group was placed on a low-fat vegan diet, eating only whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and legumes. <\/p>\n Both groups were told to leave their exercise habits unchanged.<\/p>\n Over the 16 weeks of the study, both groups ate slightly less and exercised slightly more, but because both groups changed similarly, this did not affect the study results.<\/p>\n After the 16 weeks, the vegan participants had lost an average of 13 pounds (5.9 kilograms) and they were burning 14.1% more fat than their animal-eating counterparts.<\/p>\n Even better, the amount of fat stored in their livers had decreased by 34.4%\u2014a spectacular result, considering that they maintained this diet for only 16 weeks.<\/p>\n Compared with the animal-consumers, their muscles also stored 10.4% less fat and they were significantly more sensitive to insulin, and therefore less vulnerable to type-2 diabetes.<\/p>\n None of these health measures improved in the group whose diets remained the same.<\/p>\n
