Background: Individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have excess intrahepatic triglycerides. This is due, in part, to increased hepatic synthesis of fat from carbohydrates via lipogenesis. Although weight loss is currently recommended to treat NAFLD, little attention has been given to dietary carbohydrate restriction.Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of 2 wk of dietary carbohydrate and calorie restriction at reducing hepatic triglycerides in subjects with NAFLD.Design: Eighteen NAFLD subjects (n = 5 men and 13 women) with a mean (+/- SD) age of 45 +/- 12 y and a body mass index (in kg/m(2)) of 35 +/- 7 consumed a carbohydrate-restricted (
