Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease will be enrolled.

According to a parallel design, the participants will be randomized to a Portfolio diet or a monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)-rich diet (used as control) for 8 weeks.

At the beginning and at the end of the trial, the participants will undergo a MRI spectroscopy to evaluate fatty liver content. Moreover, the participants will undergo a test meal resembling the nutritional composition of the assigned diet to evaluate fasting and postprandial metabolic response.

Portfolio Diet

The participants will follow a weight-maintaining diet characterized by whole-grain, polyphenol-rich foods, omega 3- rich foods, MUFA-rich foods (protein 18%/total energy, carbohydrates 41%/total energy, fat 41%/total energy, MUFA 26%/total energy, fiber 24 g/1000Kcal) polyphenols 2715/day, omega-3 2.6 g/day and omega-6 9.6 g/day)
