Breakfast 1 banana or rolled oats and fruit
Snack nuts
Lunch Greek style yoghurt with straws berries raspberries blackberries
Tea brown rice with chicken peppers onions garlic tinned tomatoes or omelette with onions and tomatoes

But you can turn the fatty liver around... You just have to be serious about it, you don't want the alternative.....
Just cut out all fats and sugar and learn your traffic 🚥 signals on food....
You can still have a treat just don't make it every day
It's the saturated fat on products you need to read up on if it's green its good
Your not going to do it over night because this is for the rest of your life so don't feel too bad if you have a bad day, just get up the next day and try again x
Thanks for replying I really don’t know wat I’m doing lol but I know I have to eat different just confusing when done say eat lots of fruit and others say no fruit I don’t know if I’m coming or going lol
I’m going through something similar to you. I had an ultrasound last week which showed fatty liver, then a liver function blood test that came back normal. I’m not sure what happens next. I’m not overweight, but I’m now eating more healthily, by eating less bread, pasta and potatoes. There is so much contradictory advice.
Hi Tracey . Wow you are doing really well as regards to changing your eating habits, Make sure you also eat fresh fish and lean white meats like chicken and turkey plus eggs to ensure you get enough protein. Drink pleanty of water and milk throughout the day to so you don't dehydrate which would also cause you problems. Regular daily exercise will also help with weightloss and give you a great positive mental attitude.
You certainly haven't left it too late. Keep it up, over time your health will improve and you will feel fitter and happier all round.
When I got told that it really scared me I just hope I can keep it up as I can’t say I like what I’m eating yes I had chicken a couple of times last week was naughty and did have egg sandwich from greggs today I am drinking water 2 cups black coffee and 1 cup green tea and yes I’ve started walking again just the internet was scary but doctor didn’t seem bothered x
Pro Peak fitness I wish. I tend to have a peak in the garage to dust them off. I'd then go the distance after checking out the two petrol powered bikes. Peak performance, get me there, singing some sunny day 🏍️🏍️
hehe....I'm summoning up courage to hit the gym....at the moment I'm doing 45 bicep curls with a 5kg weight before bed....helps me get to sleep-sadly not helping my bicep size....
Used to train everyday even on nights sneaking an extra half hour at break time. All the facilities in our works gym, showers etc. However in retirement I was fit or unfit to exercise the elbow more than. Here endeth the lesson.
I’ve been told by a few doctor that fruit should be minimized because it’s high in fructose (natural plant sugar).
I was told to minimize grain based carbs and sugar because fat enters into the liver through “de novo lipogenesis” (creating new fat from the building blocks of new fat - carbs and sugar are the largest contributors).
I recommend reading the Wikipedia article on lipogenesis, as well as asking your doctor and at the end of the day, after being your own advocate and gathering all the information you can for yourself, making your own call.
Good luck,
Chris
Good morning Tracey03.
Welcome to this friendly forum.
As you can already see, you will get lots of support here!
I have included links to Non Alcohol Related Fatty Live r Disease (NAFLD) gallstones and diet.
I am in a similar situation to you, I also eat a good diet and lost weight, I dont drink. So I now think it is due to medication, have been on lots of antibiotics, steroids and ppis for a few years and I understand these can cause it.
