5 Ways To Reverse A Fatty Liver
Fatty liver occurs when excess fat accumulates inside liver cells. This means normal, healthy liver tissue becomes partly replaced with fatty tissue. The fat starts to invade the liver, gradually infiltrating the healthy liver areas, so that less and less healthy liver tissue remains. The fatty liver has a yellow greasy appearance and is often enlarged and swollen with fat.
Fatty liver is now recognised as the most common cause of abnormal liver function test results in the USA, UK and Australia. Around one in five people in the general population, in the USA and Australia has a fatty liver. Fatty liver is usually associated with abdominal obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. If severe, it can eventually lead to cirrhosis and liver failure.
How would you know if you have a fatty liver?
Many people with a fatty liver are unaware that they even have a liver problem, as the symptoms can be vague and non-specific, especially in the early stages. Most people with a fatty liver feel generally unwell, and find they are becoming increasingly fatigued and overweight for no apparent reason.
Possible symptoms of fatty liver include:
- Weight excess in the abdominal area
- Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Tiredness and frequent fatigue
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Skin problems, acne, rashes and brown spots
- Nausea
- Digestive problems
- Gallstones
- Headaches
- Overheating of the body
- Immune dysfunction and/or allergies
- Excessive sweating
- Bad breath and/or coated tongue
- Red itchy eyes
Fatty liver is diagnosed with a blood test and liver ultrasound.
Luckily fatty liver is reversible. Here are 5 ways to achieve this:
1. Eat less carbohydrate
Poor diet is the leading cause of fatty liver disease. The biggest offenders are sugar and foods made of white flour; they need to be avoided completely. However, a high intake of carbohydrate rich foods in general can promote fatty liver, as the liver converts excess carbohydrate into fat. Foods that need to be restricted include bread, pasta, rice, breakfast cereals, potatoes and any food made of flour. See our syndrome X book or Diabetes Type 2 - You can Reverse it Naturally for a low carbohydrate eating plan.
2. Drink less alcohol
Excess alcohol consumption is the second biggest cause of fatty liver. Alcohol can cause inflammation and damage to liver cells, resulting in fatty infiltration. People with a fatty liver should limit alcohol consumption to one drink per day, with at least two alcohol free days per week.
3. Eat more vegetables, protein and the right fats
Raw vegetables and fruits are the most powerful liver healing foods. These raw foods help to cleanse and repair the liver filter, so that it can trap and remove more fat and toxins from the bloodstream. Eat an abundance of vegetables (cooked and raw salads). Fruit is healthy for most people, but if you have high blood sugar or insulin resistance, it's best to limit fruit to 2 servings per day. Protein is important because it helps to keep the blood sugar level stable, helps with weight loss from the abdomen and reduces hunger and cravings. Protein should be consumed with each meal. Good sources of protein include eggs, poultry, seafood, meat, nuts, seeds, whey protein powder, legumes and dairy products.
Most vegetable oil and margarines can worsen a fatty liver. Healthy fats to include more of in your diet are found in olive oil, oily fish, flaxseeds, coconut oil and raw nuts and seeds.
4. Drink raw vegetable juices
Raw juices are an excellent source of highly concentrated vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Your juice should be comprised of 80 to 100 percent vegetables, with the remainder comprised of fruit. Do not drink fruit juice; it is too high in carbohydrate and calories. Our book Raw Juices can Save your Life contains numerous raw juice recipes.
5. Take a good liver tonic
Choose a liver tonic that combines the clinically proven dose of St Mary’s thistle with B group vitamins, antioxidants and sulfur rich amino acids. A good liver tonic can promote repair of damaged liver cells and facilitate the fat burning and detoxification abilities of the liver. Livatone Plus contains all of those ingredients and is available in powder or capsule form.
Extra tip: Increase glutathione production
Glutathione is your liver’s most powerful detoxifier and it is strongly anti-inflammatory. If you have a fatty liver you need more of it. N-acetyl cysteine is a precursor of glutathione and is known to raise blood levels powerfully. Eating sulfur rich foods also helps with glutathione; examples include eggs, cabbage, broccoli and garlic.

Thanks to this website I lost weight and my liver function improved beyond belief. I feel more energized, happier and the transformation in my health has been nothing short of a miracle. I not only feel 100 times better, but I barely need to take any insulin at all anymore.
My husband (26 years, 5’11”, weight within normal range, non smoker, drinks very occasionally- may be once or twice in 2-3 months, got a blood test done a few months back that showed slightly high cholesterol, and then having more c/o gas, indigestion, and mainly bloated abdomen)- got an ultrasound done last month that has an interpretation written as: ‘severe hepatic steatosis with deeper portions not well seen.’
What does this exactly mean?
And is it same as fatty liver or different/worse?
Is severe hepatic steatosis reversible/curable?
I am really stressed out if this condition is curable back to normal? Please help me out.
Thank you
Fatty liver is reversible. I have done this for 100s of patients.

Flaxseed meal tends to promote the production of SHBG which protects women against estrogen dominance.
It also binds much testosterone which may be beneficial and guard against the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotesterone and estrogen but it may also reduce the amount of free testosterone available to the male.

NAFL has a direct correlation with diet and lifestyle.
Many with intestinal inflammation are at a greater risk of NAFL and your strict diet may still include intestinal inflammogens.
We recommend the liver friendly and anti-inflammatory Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program.
In addition to these Dr prescribes Ox Bile, Livatone Plus, and NAC to resolve your Fatty Liver as quickly as possible.
Blood donation is not necessary with NAFL and if your ferritin is elevated it is a clear sign of liver inflammation not iron overload, unless you have diagnosed genetic hemochromatosis.

My sugar test result has been showing good.
What do I do
Grade 1 is quite mild Fatty Liver so it is great that it was diagnosed so early, and it is likely to be able to be reversed quite quickly.
Follow the suggestions in the article closely to return your liver to best possible health and function as quickly as possible.
Although your sugar test was fine it may be that your body has been having to work harder to keep it in the good range and you may have elevated insulin levels, and this can be determined with a fasting blood test.
Livatone Plus and NAC are recommended to boost liver and immune system function.
If elevated insulin is present Dr Cabot prescribes Berberine and Glicemic Balance.

Gallstones are a clear indication of a liver that is not functioning well and cannot perform its detoxification functions efficiently.
This often leads to a build up of toxic metabolites in the bloodstream and these can reduce the amount of oxygen available to the brain, which leads to foggy brain and is often accompanied by poor concentration.
We recommend you obtain our book ‘How to Save Your Gallbladder’ and follow the dietary directions. If you also have a Fatty Liver. Our book ‘Fatty Liver – You can Reverse It’ contains a complete diet plan to reverse the problem.
Supplementation is important and Dr Cabot prescribes Livatone Plus, NAC and Ox Bile to boost liver health and function.

I know I have cysts on my pancreas I have detoxes before I'm pretty sure my liver is stressed my 1st detox I had itchy skin this time I'm insanely itchy on my feet and buttocks. Just stopped alcohol yesterday. I'm drinking tons of water and lemon water. Can I drink vegetable juice V8? Also will itchiness on buttocks and feet STOP itching when I'm out of withdrawal?
I know I have at least 4-6 days left in withdrawal just worried the itching won't stop. It's incapacitating my life. What do you think?
Pancreatic cysts are an indication of inflammation and the itching you are experiencing is most likely to be the liver attempting to release toxins.
You may benefit considerably by undertaking Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program to help make your withdrawal as positive as possible.
Livatone Plus 2 capsules twice daily may also reduce the itchiness more quickly.
If you are not able to have fresh vegetable juice, V8 juice is most acceptable.

Many thanks,
The pain is due to your liver being enlarged and inflamed.

I'm a 54 year old male, vegetarian, physically active excercise at least 3 times a week, never been obese, was a moderate drinker and stopped 7 years back, maintain a healthy weight, with no diabetes diagnosed whereas the lipid profile fasting sugar is 15, the rest well within limits.
Recently, had an ultra sound done of the abdominal area where it showed a 'mild fatty liver infiltration, normal the h.v.'
Doctors are baffled due above reasons.
Many thanks.
HAVE your fasting blood sugar and HbA1c tested, and read up on Professor Roy Taylor and the Twin Cycle Hypothesis,then check Prof Ken Sikaris and the whole blood choleserol thing...
1). Mild fat infiltration of the liver. Slightly more geographic in segment IVb
2) Gallbladder shows a couple small 4mm polyps arising from the posterior wall, having a benign appearance likely representing cholesterol polyps.
No diagnosis to date and speak of idiopathic? I'm still having pain from time to time and ALT and AST continue to fluctuate between very high (10 times) and slightly high 1.5 - 2x).... So far Lipase has remained within normal limits.
I am eating very healthy. Close to paleo but no red meat. Don't smoke and do not and have never been a drinker.
Fatty liver can be caused by a number of different reasons such as consuming too many carbohydrates, environmental toxins or long-term use of medication.
There is an excellent eating plan in Dr Cabot's free e-book on fatty liver.

I can't do a lot of walking due to foot pain and other health conditions.
How does one get rid of a fatty liver on a limited income? I need a magic bullet. My belly fat was prominent even when I was young and looked very skinny. Yes I do core-strengthening exercises, but my belly fat seems to get bigger and bigger.
I have HCM, in remission from Diabetes and have excellent blood sugar control, reasonably good cholesterol. I've gone from severe (inherited) obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy to mild (at my last echocardiogram) and both my Cardiologist and Dr are astounded. I was diagnosed with Diabetes about 5 years ago (inherited from my Father's side of the family) and have been in remission for 3 years now. I've had 2 lower back surgeries so some exercises are out anyway due to constant sciatic pain and hip pain. Also have FM/CFS. I have a certificate in Herbal Medicine, Aromatherapy and massage from the 1990s so interested in alternative therapies and used Food as medicine in the past.
My main problem is still fatty liver (not really high, but higher enough to want to do something about it) AND at 63, I always look 7mths 'pregnant'. My core strength is impressive, but still that great lump of fat on my abdomen and belly. I am best on the Paleo diet but can't afford 'grass fed' or organic meat. I generally only eat 2 main meals a day on my limited pension budget with a couple of snacks. (a snack for me might be a hard-boiled egg, a tomato, some slices of cucumber and carrot, NOT biscuits or processed food). I don't have white flour, rarely any sugar and no margarine or almost no processed foods. Well, I do eat black olives and sometimes I make hummus (all organic ingredients.). I do eat small amounts of walnuts, pecans & almonds, pepitas and sunflower seeds on my gluten free cereal (together with psyllium and freshly ground flaxseeds). I used boiling water on my breakfast not dairy or rice milk etc. I eat a high fibre diet in general.
I read one of Dr Cabot's books about 30(?) years ago and didn't see anything much in it (that I wasn't already doing).
After 40 years of a fat belly, I give up.
I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS :( DID YOU EVER GET YOUR MAGIC BULLET AND IF AO DID IT HELP YOU :)
If fatty liver is your main problem, we recommend you follow the diet in Dr Cabot's book: 'Fatty Liver: You Can Reverse It'.
It sounds like you are eating quite well already, the main thing is to avoid grains, sugar, processed food and take out meals.
Try to base your diet on good protein (poultry,seafood,lean meat,eggs), good fats (cold pressed olive oil, cold pressed coconut oil, avocado,seafood,nuts), fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.
There is lots of information in this article: https://www.liverdoctor.com/what-should-you-eat-if-you-have-fatty-liver/

I have a fatty liver and high cholesterol, regardles BMI of 20 and very small waist.No refined carbs for more than 18 years, vegetarian very tall and slm all life, juicing organic veges daily (eating 90% organic, no grains or sugar). I believe that my fatty liver is from chemical toxicity from amalgams and work (art/craft) repated, all eliminated 10 years ago. Tried all sorts of herbs and products (Sandra's as well) for years, not much help. Any idea?
Thank you in advance for any clues!
You can still have a fatty liver even if you are slim.
It sounds like you are doing all the right things, but there are many factors that can lead to fatty liver.
Examples include environmental toxins which are almost impossible to avoid in today's society, and long-term use of antibiotics or medication.
For more information see our book: 'Fatty Liver: You Can Reverse It'.
Please ensure that you are getting enough protein from eggs, nuts, seeds or legumes. These last three need to be eaten together for optimal protein intake.

We recommend you avoid all gluten, dairy, deep-fried food and take out meals.
We also recommend you avoid alcohol if this is the cause of your cirrhosis.
I have NAFLD , whenever i eat eggs for breakfast i have a burning sensation during stool movement the next day and i have 4-5 times stool movement the next day.
I like and want to eat eggs sometimes, please help.
We suggest you eliminate eggs for two weeks and monitor symptoms.
If there are no symptoms you could possibly have an intolerance/allergy to eggs.
You may require an IgG test or IgE test to check for this, or you could reintroduce eggs after two weeks and see if symptoms flare up.

Redness and itching are classic signs of inflammation. These symptoms can be caused by allergies or autoimmune disease or be due to an unhappy liver and / or leaky gut and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).
Avoid the foods causing the reaction and work on improving liver and digestive function. The best place to start is with your diet. The most inflammatory foods are sugar, gluten, wheat, cow’s milk, artificial additives and any food you have an allergy or sensitivity to. Avoid these foods. It is best to base your diet on vegetables, salads, protein (for example eggs, poultry, seafood, meat), healthy fats, fruit, nuts and seeds. Try to avoid processed foods and damaged fats.
Dr Cabot recommends
Livatone Plus 2 capsules twice daily will help improve liver function, reduce liver inflammation and improve bile production.
NAC 2 caps twice daily at least 2 hours away from food, if any upset occurs take with meals. This supplement works well with Livatone Plus to hasten liver healing.

Is this not contradictory?
Eggs contain good quality protein and are a great source of omega-3 fats. Most people don't need to worry about eggs and their cholesterol as eggs have almost no effect on our blood cholesterol levels. You can eat up to 6 eggs each week.
Fruits and vegetables do contain fructose, although vegetables contain a smaller amount. Most people get too much fructose from hidden sources such as processed foods and soft drinks.
Fruits and vegetables need to be included as part of a balanced diet.

All tests clear like diabetes, ALT, Bilirubin, AST, ALK. Only one thing which is higher than normal is GGT which is 100.
1. What about eating milk-cream in breakfast.
2. Drinking water and tea 2-3 times a day? (I was reading somewhere that liquids including water is not good for fatty liver).
3. Will 2-3 miles walk a day and diet control help?
4. Will you recommend any further tests?
