    Default high protein/low carb = liver damage?? HELP

    I have had high liver readings for awhile now, consensus with the doctor last year was that all the supplements i was taking (NO, Creatine, Test) damaged the liver. 6 months later after stopping supplements, numbers were still way way above normal (both categories AST and ATP???) normals are 0-55 mine were in both categories about 150-200. Wondering why the numbers didn't go back down after stopping supplements but I guess for people with "liver disease" a high protein/low carb diet is harmful, not giving the liver a chance to heal, before my second test i was eating around 300g of protein a day and carb cycling with a few no carb days and the other days were about 200g. My liver glycogen was really low as well. Any1 else have this issue? I stopped all extra whey powders, now just eating about 24g of protein from whole foods, 6 meals a day with high clean carbs such as oats, pasta, fruit, bread (1000g). Hopefully this will help it heal up so i can cut for the rest of summer but interesting to see if anyone had any thoughts on this, but hey at least i get to eat carbs b/c i love my carbs,

    The correct answer to this is to eat a balanced calorie controlled diet.

    However, I am not going to preach, because I was a fairly trim and fit runner and cyclist prior to a bad motorcycle accident and now I am fat an lazy. I know how to fix the problem, but I just dont care to do so at this point. If I were to start on a proper balanced diet tomorrow and set a daily intake of around 1500 calories, I promise you I would start shedding weight like nothing else, and that is without any exercise. I know it works, because I have done it before and seen the results. My problem is that I like the good life of beer and wine far to much!
