An Indian diet plan for fatty liver
Fatty liver is extremely common in India and usually reverses with weight loss. There is no special liver food, which is disappointing but useful to know.
Weight loss is the treatment
Losing around 7–10% of bodyweight reverses fatty liver in most people. No single ingredient does this, and nothing sold as a liver detox has earned its claim.
Sugar, especially the liquid kind
Fructose is processed by the liver, so sweetened drinks matter more here than elsewhere. Sugary tea several times a day, cold drinks and packaged juice are the usual culprits — more than sweets.
What to eat more of
Protein at every meal, more vegetables and whole grains, and oil measured rather than poured. Dal, curd, eggs, fish if you eat it.
Alcohol
Even in non-alcoholic fatty liver, alcohol makes it worse. This is one of the few genuinely firm instructions.
