This is such a shock. A good diet and exercise can reduce fat and improve diebetes. Losing excess fat around organs is a good start to health. But you’ll notice they are not claiming over extended weight losses of over 10 pounds at a time. They are claiming of a consant weight loss of under 3 pounds monthly which is a safe weight loss for extended success of a person at 200 pounds. It’s relevent. But it is also the same thought process the American Diebetic Association, the AMA, and other medical associations and teaching institutes recommend. So, what’s the big deal? I’m missing their point.

From the writeup:
“Other studies investigated the impact of either diet or exercise on the liver, not both,” said study author Elizabeth Parks, Professor of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. “In addition, similar studies were just observational, but at Mizzou, we have technology for metabolic imaging that can give in-depth data on liver disease.”
Nothing dangerous about losing 2 pounds a week. Heck, I did it a bunch of times over 45 years before going Keto and losing the weight for good. Long term success depends on finding a new way of eating - which is why the new diet needs to be one a person is willing to eat for the remainder of their life.
