Good news - you don't have to go hungry to reverse a fatty liver! If you have been diagnosed with a fatty liver, your doctor probably told you to lose weight. It's true that weight loss helps to repair the liver, but the problem is, it's extremely difficult to lose weight if you've got a fatty liver. According to research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, you can reduce the amount of fat in your liver in only a month on a low carbohydrate diet. This is wonderful news because fatty liver affects approximately a third of American adults. If left untreated, it can progress to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. Fatty liver usually goes hand in hand with insulin resistance (metabolic syndrome) and type 2 diabetes. If you have a fatty liver, weight loss is probably much slower for you and you tend to struggle with cravings for sugar and carbs. The good thing about following a low carb diet is you shouldn't be feeling hungry. A well formulated low carb diet contains adequate protein and healthy fats, which both help to keep you feeling satiated. The eating guidelines in my fatty liver book are especially designed to help you. Reference
