About this study

The aim of this randomized trial is to determine whether liver fat depletion via a short-term (i.e., two weeks) very-low calorie diet will restore the normal exercise-induced secretion of a signaling protein (fibroblast growth factor 21) from the liver in people living with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have their liver fat, body composition, and various markers of metabolic health assessed and then will be randomized to either the very-low calorie diet intervention or a free-living control group for two weeks. Upon completion of the two-week intervention period, participants will redo all of the pre-intervention assessments. The changes in the assessments from before vs. after the intervention period will be compared between the two intervention groups (i.e., the very-low calorie diet group vs. the free living control group).
