With the lack of pharmaceutical solutions for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, lifestyle is the primary factor in avoiding, reversing and alleviating the affects of the disease. “Lose weight” is generally the first words a patient hears upon being diagnosed with a fatty liver. But they aren’t usually told how. We continually hear this from newly diagnosed patients.

This section of the website is intended to help answer the “how” question. While the answer may differ from patient to patient, there is a lot of general information that we can pass along that hopefully be helpful.
This section of the website is not intended to be a “nutrition encyclopedia, but just to pass along some basics. Good nutrition advice is not a “one size fits all”. We hope this information useful but encourage you to speak with a professional if you want targeted assistance.

Many thanks to our good friends at Case Specific Nutrition (CSN) for being a great source of information.
