Foods for fatty liver

As mentioned in the How can a fatty liver be avoided? article, food is key to get rid of fatty liver. The disease partly develops because of the amount of fat consumed by the individual, which in some cases is higher that recommended. Some of these fats are stored in the liver, thus contributing to develop fatty liver disease. Those of you who ask “What can I eat with a fatty liver?”, below are some answers.

First, lets talk about the foods you should limit their quantity in your meal:

• White bread
• Butter
• Most prepared breakfast cereals (usually contain high levels of sugar)
• White rice
• Concentrated sugar
• Fat rich meals, like – hamburger, pizza, etc
• High-glycerin food
• High-cholesterol  food (eggs for example – limit yourself to two eggs per week)
• Carbonated drinks
• Fried food / Fast food

Now let’s take a look on some foods you should try to focus on:

• All kinds of vegetables (broccoli is highly recommended)
• Fruits (2-3 slices per day – try to avoid bananas as it contains a lot of glucose)
• Beans and unprocessed grains
• Whole grain bread
• Skim milk instead of whole milk
• Food with high level of proteins

Moderation is the key

Please remember that I’m not recommending to never eat the mentioned food above. It’s all about moderation. Eating your favorite food once a while is no crime, but you should limit yourself and look, and monitor your progress. Determination is the key to your success.

In addition, remember that weight loss is the most affecting way to cure fatty liver. And the best affecting way to do so, it by a combination of eating different food and exercise. Physical activity helps to burn your fat much faster, and replace it with muscles.
