Fasting and Liver Enzymes
Fasting and liver enzymes: intermittent fasting may help NAFLD when protein and calories are adequate—aggressive fasts can briefly spike ALT.
Fasting and liver enzymes covers mixed effects—time-restricted eating can aid weight loss and ALT when calories and protein stay adequate, while prolonged aggressive fasts may transiently raise enzymes or worsen lean mass. Break-fast quality matters as much as window length.
Medical fasting for labs is different from lifestyle intermittent fasting.
