fatty liver

In general, the diet for fatty liver disease includes:

Take:

• - lots of fruits and vegetables
• - high-fiber plants like legumes and whole grains
• - very little added sugar, salt, trans fat, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fat

no alcohol

Avoid

• - Alcohol. Alcohol is a major cause of fatty liver disease as well as other liver diseases.
• - Added sugar. Stay away from sugary foods such as candy, cookies, sodas, and fruit juices. High blood sugar increases the amount of fat buildup in the liver.
• - Fried foods. These are high in fat and calories.
• - Salt. Eating too much salt can make your body hold on to excess water. Limit sodium to less than 1,500 milligrams per day.
• - White bread, rice, and pasta. White usually means the flour is highly processed, which can raise your blood sugar more than whole grains due to a lack of fiber.
• - Red meat. Beef and deli meats are high in saturated fat.
