Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate dietary compositions effect on liverfat measured by magnetic resonance imaging.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Overweight but otherwise healthy men will be included in the study which is a randomized diet intervention study in a cross over design.

The study involves 2 intervention periods of 5 days each, during which the participant ingests two different types of experimental diet. Participants will in randomized order (determined by block randomization) ingest a diet with low carbohydrate and high fat content, and a diet with high carbohydrate and low fat content.
