MRI Image Shows Intra-Hepatic Fat Loss Comparison

Caption

This illustration compares moderate weight loss for two men of similar age, baseline weight, waist circumference, and visceral fat proportion. It shows that a MED/LC diet and physical activity induces far greater intra-hepatic fat loss (28 percent to 5 percent) as compared to a low-fat diet (24 percent to 16 percent).
