Legumes, Beans/Fatty Liver

[mario07963]

Hello everyone,

Any thoughts/Experiences if legumes are good to eat and can help with Fatty Liver?

[grapewizard]

Yes legumes are a good source of plant protein. A combination of calorie restriction and move to Mediterranean or plant based diet works well for your liver health. The administrators have a link on this site to diet guidance for NAFLD.

I didn't think Fiber had any 'digestible carbs'. My liver doc told me to eat more fiber to help nafld.,plus lose excess wt.

I am only allowed 30 carbs a day to help loose weight plus keep blood sugar low. Ron

That's great Herman! I went very low carb for 33 days. After that I quit losing. Now I'm eating low carb but not 20 grams like before. I'm not losing but at least I'm maintaining. I really miss potatoes, bread and fruit.

Thanksgiving will be really tough.

For dessert I have only small amounts of berries.

Hi yes thanksgiving was hard, I fixed a quiche for my son and daughter in law as that is what they requested, son had a jaw tooth removed so he felt that is what he wanted. I just replied to one of your earlier messages so this will be short and sweet, hope you continuing to do well.....Keep up the excellent work and keep me in your loop, I enjoy your notes of encouragement.

Just out of curiosity, since you appear to be on a keto type diet, do you track, or limit saturated fat? Is this a short term diet or long term?

Soybeans and mung beans, according to studies, are excellent for the liver, with mung bean sprouts being better than the beans.
