Well, as a person who has a long history with the medical industry on this subject, let's change that to this:

It would appear losing weight changing one’s diet (and maybe losing weight because of that) can bring the immune reaction back to normal.

This is a unique moment in medical history. We have so much information available to us that it leads me to believe that something is it going to get you. Don’t let it be you.

Yes. That's logical (except for people who are morbidly obese). Usually, getting the diet right solves weight problems.

Which diet are you on?

I initially had written my response more like yours, but in this study, the high fat, high carb diet was only the vehicle to get the mice both fat and having the Standard American Diet dysfunctions, which includes the fatty liver.

Technically, it's possible to get rid of a fatty liver by greatly reducing calories, regardless of diet, according to prior studies. It is also possible to eliminate fatty liver through pantethine use (I posted that study this past year and I have a relative with ultrasound before and MRI after scans that showed the fatty liver was gone (with the doctor saying the same), despite being around 20-25% on the body mass side).

Personally, I agree that the practical way for people is to change their diet and increase exercise, because eating your normal diet at a crash diet-level of calories is both difficult, and still not feeding you as well as you needed on other fronts.
