Brief Summary   NAFLD encompasses the entire spectrum of Fatty liver disease in individuals without significant alcohol consumption, ranging from fatty liver to steatohepatitis to cirrhosis. A high prevalence of NAFLD (62.5%) was observed in overweight/obese Indian adolescent (1). Lifestyle modification consisting of diet, exercise and weight loss has been advocated to treat patients with NAFLD (2). EASL guidelines recommends that the macronutrient in the diet should be adjusted according to the Mediterranean diet for weight loss (3). Mediterranean diet helps to decrease hepatic fat by decreasing lipogenesis, fibrogenesis, inflammation, oxidative stress and by increasing fatty acids beta oxidation (4). There are various studies showing benefits of using other diets such as Low Fat Diet, Low Carbdohydrate diet, Low Fructose Diet, et. Though there are numerous studies in adults comparing Mediterranean diet vs Low Fat diet, date regarding the same in children are lacking. The aim of this study will be to compare the Effect of Indianized version of Mediterranean diet vs. Low Fat Diet on Hepatic Steatosis in Overweight  children and adolescent with MASLD.
