That's a fair question, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify what I meant. I was referring to published research and clinical guidance rather than making claims based only on personal experience. I found two resources particularly relevant to this discussion. The NIDDK dietary guidance on fatty liver disease explains how different dietary factors, including saturated fats, added sugars and overall food choices, can influence liver health. I also looked at the 2024 EASL clinical guidelines on MASLD, which discuss dietary quality, lifestyle changes and the evidence behind different nutritional approaches. I think ketogenic diets deserve serious discussion, particularly because reducing carbohydrate intake may improve certain metabolic markers and liver fat in some people. At the same time, I agree that we should distinguish between evidence for ketogenic diets and evidence for a strict carnivore diet. They aren't interchangeable, and more long-term research specifically on carnivore diets would be valuable. I'm not suggesting that one dietary approach works for everyone. I think looking at actual outcomes, including liver fat, liver enzymes, insulin sensitivity and other metabolic markers, gives us a much more useful discussion than relying on dietary labels alone. Thanks for asking for clarification. I appreciate the opportunity to look at the evidence more closely.
