Abstract
Whether dietary macronutrient content has metabolic benefits beyond weight loss is unknown. In this issue, a carefully controlled trial demonstrates that a higher-protein, lower-carbohydrate dietary pattern improves hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism in people with prediabetes and steatosis compared to a lower-protein, high-carbohydrate diet, even though all groups lost 10% of body weight.
