[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incorporating more vegetables into your daily meals is good for most people, but if you actually look at the fatty liver treatment recommendations from hepatology associations, the key element is weight loss of 7%-10% of total body weight being associated with reversal of steatosis.

The "Mediterranean diet" is often recommended, but you could achieve this by following other dietary "plans". In general I recommend that patients with this condition transition to non-processed whole foods as much as possible with an emphasis on vegetables and some fruit, whole grains, fish/chicken, legumes, etc. which mostly lines up with the "Mediterranean diet". But that doesn't necessarily mean to eat foods that originate in that region, like dates are not BAD but they're calorie dense with a lot of natural sugar/carbs so it's not the same as eating a mostly-veggie greek salad. You still have to consider portion size. It's easier for a doc to say "follow X diet" than to get into detail about why you're transitioning your eating style, goals of the diet change and personalizing it.

Key here is yes, incorporate some healthy fats, but you are trying to create a caloric deficit so you will lose weight and lose fat which is being stored in the liver and affecting liver function. It's also ideal to quit drinking alcohol in this situation.

But yes roasted veggies with olive oil and spices are fantastic, and they're great on the grill this time of year, and you can do a warm grain and veggies salad, etc- lots of possibilities.
