Conditions: Health Condition 1: K760- Fatty (change of) liver, not elsewhere classified Health Condition 2: null- Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease Health Condition 3: E660- Obesity due to excess calories
Interventions: Intervention1: Diet, lifestyle and metformin x 6 months: Healthy and balanced meals, with modest calorie reduction, intake of low GI carbohydrates, avoiding sugar sweetened beverages and processed food, and increasing fruit and vegetable intake. Detailed
Outcome Measures: Change in hepatic fat fraction (HFF, measured by MRI) from baseline. A relative reduction of 40% from the baseline HFF will be considered as significant. Thus, if baseline HFF is 25%, reduction to 15% at 6 months (reduction by 10%, which is 40% of 25), will be considered significant. <br/ ><br>The proportion that achieves a significant reduction in HFF, will be compared in both arms using chi-square test. The mean change in HFF will also be compared in both arms using student????s t-test. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: At 6 months from the time of randomizationChange in BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, serum fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, ALT and liver acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography from baseline will be compared in both arms.Timepoint: At 6 mo from the time of randomization
