Newbie to Fatty Liver

[Scitrek13]

First time to post in here and diagnosed with fatty liver July 2019. I'm just trying to get more information on what people's diet are with fatty liver.

Lots of really good olive oil, low acidic coffee and very little of the "white foods" like bread, sugar, pasta, potatoes.. May sound crazy, but I enjoy my salads with fruit, nuts & lots of olive oil.

Welcome. Cut out sugar, alcohol white breads, pastas cakes cookies. I try to follow the Mediterranean diet and I'm trying to cut back salt cuz that's really bad too. I have to admit I fail a lot because I really love food it is a battle for me. Never give up and keep striving to eat clean and better. I try to use olive oil with everything I can. And exercise is very good for the liver.

How did you find out you have a fatty liver disease? If this is a picture of you above look in great shape.

I normally request my dr for a liver profile with my annual check-up and my liver enzymes were very much elevated. I got an ultrasound and that was how I got diagnosed with fatty liver. I'm asian, 5'3" and my weight (145lbs) is normal for my size. I normally exercise regularly 3-4 times a week.

Were you drinking much alcohol at the time of your blood test/ultrasound?

sprouted grains, in addition to what has been said. Avoid fried food, avoid any food with Added/ enriched with iron! No alcohol, check for things that say " extract" like vanilla extract. if it is cooked, the alcohol burned off, if not, it has alcohol. Even in cough syrup. I use Whole Earth Stevia with monk fruit sparingly to sweeten tea/ coffee instead of sugar but others on here do not. I eat low sugar fruits with antioxidants daily: berries along with a protein. plant based proteins as much as possible and extra protein. I use powdered peanut butter as it is low fat, low sugar and can be mixed with water or into foods, I sprinkle on salads or add to olive oil for dressing.

Do not use tylenol. Limit medications to what is necessary and double check with internet/pharmacist/Dr. for effect on liver. I limit my intake of Vit C because it encourages the uptake of iron which I limit. Drink clear clean plain water throughout the day. Avoid soda, any carbonated drink. of course, no smoking or drinking alcohol

Best wishes!
