In this blog post, we learn that fatty liver is not solely caused by alcohol consumption but can also be a result of metabolic changes in the liver and throughout the body. Referred to as NAFLD, this condition involves an accumulation of fatty triglyceride globules in the liver cells. If left untreated, it can progress to inflammatory liver disease and permanent liver damage. However, the good news is that fatty liver can be reversed through dietary changes. Clinical case studies have shown that following a therapeutic carbohydrate restricted plan, reducing carb intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and eating only two meals per day (with no snacks) can lead to observed remission of fatty liver within 3-7 days. So if you've been diagnosed with fatty liver or related conditions such as prediabetes or obesity, there is hope for reversal.
