I have not, but isn’t that basically what patients do on a bariatric surgery diet - the diet patients go on before bariatric surgery to reduce the size of the liver so it is not in the way during the surgery. There are plenty of examples posted online by doctors/clinics that perform bariatric surgery. I would assume Mayo has their version. The diets can be extreme because the patient needs to shrink their liver in a short period of time - IIRC some of the diets are for as short as 2 weeks - but no reason someone not preparing for the surgery couldn’t do a less extreme version and take more time. And assuming the diet is from a legitimate source like Mayo it should be safe given the number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
You probably could also just follow the Mayo Clinic Diet < diet.mayoclinic.org>. You can just buy the book (and daily journal) for the diet if signing up for the program is more than you want to spend and you don’t need the prodding. There is also a diabetes version of the book. (And no, I don’t work for Mayo’s marketing department.)

I am not a candidate for the weight loss surgery...it seems that someone should be able to reverse fatty liver by another means...rather it is exercise or diet or supplements...just wanted to know if it is even possible to do that..I have no markers for fatty liver....hereditary is the reason
I just had testingresults at Mayo last week that suggested fatty liver. I am extremely active: workout everyday or play golf (and have done for 45 of 65 years of life). I am underweight. So losing weight and exercise can't be the answer to reverse it, at least for some. Mine may be hereditary? Would like to hear if others have similar condition and what can be done to reverse or at least stall it.

No ....my fatty liver is hereditary...I have no markers....no high triglycerides..cholesterol and not obese...my doctor told me that a new drug is on the market but not approved...but I am not sure I would take it.....
