This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two different eating plans to see which one better reduces fat buildup in the liver in children and teenagers who are overweight. One group will follow an Indianized Mediterranean diet (with Indian foods and ingredients), while the other group will follow a low-fat diet. Both groups will also be asked to exercise regularly. The researchers will measure changes in the liver over 6 months using ultrasound and special imaging tests.
Fatty liver disease is becoming more common in children and teenagers, especially those who are overweight. Currently, there is no proven medication to treat this condition, so doctors focus on diet and exercise. This trial will help determine which eating approach works best for young people in India, where the food and culture are different from countries where similar diets have been studied.

You will be randomly assigned to follow either the Indianized Mediterranean diet or the low-fat diet for 6 months. Both diets will be customized for your weight by a nutritionist. You'll also exercise for 45–60 minutes most days (activities like cycling, football, or brisk walking, ideally with friends). You'll have visits at the start and end of the study where doctors will measure your weight, take blood tests, perform ultrasound imaging of your liver, and check markers of liver health. At the end, researchers will repeat the same measurements to see if your liver has improved.
