1. LOSE WEIGHT. Lose it the healthy way, and not in a sudden, rapid manner. The
latter would worsen your fatty liver. Attain a BMI below 20, preferably, and keep as
low belly fat as possible.
2. Watch what you eat. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Minimise carbohydrates
and control your fat consumption, limiting it to polyunsaturated fats and good
sources of omega 3 fatty acids. Avoid white sugar, flour, baked products, etc.
3. Fast intermittently. Try to eat in an eight hourly window.
4. Exercise intensely for 45 minutes to an hour 6 days a week.
5. Cook your food in olive oil. Eat brown rice , rather than white rice. Avoid food
cooked outside.
6. Stop consuming alcohol. Sorry, mate. Accept it. Your body is not competent
enough to handle booze.
7. Quit smoking. Cigarettes increase inflammation and insulin resistance. Both
worsen a fatty liver.
8. Stop eating medicines and antibiotics at the drop of a hat, unless very essential.
9. Control you diabetes, if you are diabetic.
10. Detoxify your liver by drinking 3.5–4 litres of water a day. Drink water with
lemon. Consume fresh and raw garlic and turmeric.
11. Try out yoga and ayurvedic treatment. Also , try out milk thistle.
Follow these points religiously and consistently for a year or two, and your liver would thank
you very much. The liver is a organ that heals very quickly and has regenerative abilities. You
just need to treat it right. But do so before it’s too late.
I have a friend who is 5–6 years my senior (around 42) who had a grade 3 fatty liver. I
advised him to follow this plan, which he did , religiously , for around 8 months. He came
from 82 kg to 57 kg (he’s 5′7′’) , and from a 42 inch waist to a 30 inch one. Now his liver is
absolutely normal on both a USG and a fibroscan. Even his liver enzymes are well within the
normal range.
Regarding the dietary points, I would say that eating out occasionally (like once in 2
months) is fine….but limit your quantity and frequency.
