A key premise of our approach to food is to try to minimize the amount of work the liver has to do. It is capable of a vast array of chemical tasks, but when it is ill the best strategy is to be kind to it and to ask it to do as little work as possible.
In my prior life, before being diagnosed with NASH/cirrhosis, I was an engineer. Engineers approach problems by first understanding how systems function and what the constraints are. When I was faced with NASH, I needed to lose 30% of my weight. The docs will say at least 5% but I was serious about solving my problem so I went all in. When I was diagnosed, my liver was an S3 steatosis, very fatty. My first fibroscan stiffness reading was 21.5 which is an F4. I was a classic case. Today my liver is completely fat free and my stiffness is 10 which is F2/F3. In this blog I'll explain how I did that, but from a system perspective, not a cookbook.
Update
Fatty liver turned to Nash and then liver fibrosis
