What do you eat with a fatty liver?

There is a wealth of information online which I used to plan my diet. For myself, I learned to emphasize whole foods rather than processed and to avoid high carbodydrates (rice, pasta, fruit juices) which can be transformed into fat in the liver.

Here’s some helpful information. Wishing you a healthier liver and determination to change your diet and lifestyle.

@nannakearney - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think you came to a good place to get some fatty liver diet suggestions. To broaden the people you could get ideas from, I merged your post with this existing discussion:

Glad you connected here with @gently. Fellow members @parrot53 @tillymack @maltherr also may have some ideas on what to eat with this condition.

What does your doctor say about the weight gain you've experienced while you've actually been eating less, nannakearney?

@maltherr As I too been diagnosed with fatty liver for years with no information as to what I needed to do. For me it seems to be a precursor to diabetes. I limit sugar and have even changed to monk fruit as sugar substitute, more fruits and vegetables, Mediterranean diet when possible and staying away from white flour, pasta, rice, bread. Good luck!
