The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of prebiotic fibre supplementation, in conjunction with diet-induced weight loss, on reduction in liver fat and injury. Primary Objective - determine the change in hepatic injury (fibrosis and inflammation) and hepatic fat (percent fat) over 6 months in NAFLD patients treated with prebiotic or placebo during weight loss. Secondary Objectives - determine the changes in appetite, body composition, glycemic and insulinemic responses, quality of life with prebiotic or placebo during weight loss, and examine mechanisms related to prebiotic-induced changes in gut microbiota and lipogenesis.
