Hi @gurii, I moved your question about how to manage fatty liver with changes to diet and lifestyle to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can click the link to read previous helpful posts and connect with others talking about living with fatty liver. Mayo Clinic recommends

1. Eat a healthy diet. Eat a healthy diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats.
2. Limit alcohol, simple sugars and portion sizes. Avoid sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks, juices and sweet tea. Drinking alcohol can damage your liver and should be avoided or minimized.
3. Keep a healthy weight. If you are overweight or obese, work with your health care team to gradually lose weight. If you are a healthy weight, work to keep it by eating a healthy diet and exercising.
4. Exercise. Be active most days of the week. Get an OK from your health care team first if you haven't been exercising regularly.
