I came across a very interesting article today whilst doing some research into human nutrition which I think may interest some of you here that are either already on, are are due to start, your liver shrinking pre-op diets.
It explains how the liver stores & releases glycogen and the effects this has on blood glucose levels. It seems exercise is the key, as well as limiting carbs, to deplete the glycogen levels in the liver. This is well worth bearing in mind when doing the pre-op.
