I have just been diagnosed with NASH by my oncologist. I have recently gone into remission from non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Now I have this. To see a hepatic specialist in the next couple weeks. I was wanting to do the Keto diet. Has anyone done that with NASH?? Thx

@tamaravilla, Hi and Welcome to Connect. I am happy to read that your Hodgkin's lymphoma is in remission.

I am a liver/kidney recipient, (not for NASH). In the above article, I read that "With weight loss, making healthy, long-term changes is key to success. We recommend a modified Mediterranean diet because studies have shown it can help reduce the amount of fat stored in the liver for people with NASH...The Mediterranean diet focuses on delicious fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and heart-healthy protein each day."
My own experience, and what I have read, tells me that the best diet is one that is simple and easy to maintain so that you can stick with it long term. My transplant team stresses that it should include all food groups.

I do not know much about the Keto diet, so I strongly suggest that you talk about this with the hepatologist about the best method of weight loss for you. Has your doctor suggested that you lose weight?
