Doctors are highlighting a concerning trend: individuals of normal weight, particularly those of Asian descent, are increasingly being diagnosed with fatty liver disease. This is linked to a specific “Asian metabolism” characterized by a lower threshold for fat accumulation in the liver and increased insulin resistance. Two key weaknesses of this metabolism are an early sensitivity to carbohydrates and a predisposition to visceral fat storage. Even moderate carbohydrate intake can lead to high blood sugar spikes, contributing to fat buildup. Reversing this requires a tailored dietary approach focused on prioritizing protein and healthy fats while moderating carbohydrate consumption. Experts emphasize the importance of prioritizing whole foods and avoiding processed sugars to manage blood glucose levels and improve liver health. Early detection and lifestyle modifications are crucial to preventing the progression to more serious liver conditions.
