Carbs Drive Fatty Liver
- Fatty liver disease is mainly caused by excessive carbohydrate intake, not fat.
- Excess glucose converts to fat in the liver and deposits around the middle, linking carbs to fat accumulation.
Insulin Resistance Links Sugar To Fat
- Excessive carb intake raises blood glucose, triggering insulin release and eventual insulin resistance.
- Excess glucose converts to fat, causing fat deposits especially around the abdomen and fatty liver disease.
Match Carbs To Activity
- Match carbohydrate intake to your activity level, eating carbs before workout days and lowering them on rest days.
- Start with 50-75 grams carbs daily, then reduce to 35-50 grams for blood sugar stability and weight loss.
