Keto Outperforms on Metabolic Health | Science News

A new clinical trial pits three top diets—Mediterranean, plant-focused, and keto—against each other in people with obesity, prediabetes, and fatty liver disease. While all led to weight loss, keto stood out: it slashed liver fat and lowered prediabetes rates more than the others—even with similar weight loss. Experts say cutting carbs may boost metabolic health beyond just shedding pounds, but the small, short-term study needs follow-up. Keto’s benefits come with caveats: muscle preservation was better on Mediterranean, and long-term effects remain unknown. Researchers hope future studies will blend keto with weight-loss meds for optimal results without side effects. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
