Fatty Liver

I self diagnosed my NAFLD based on ALT test results. A low carb high fat diet seems to have resolved it, based on ALT levels. I ate lots of full fat dairy and red meat and very little carbs (<20 g per day).

Ok Im a poster child for this condition. Always had normal tests. This worked for me but i cant say it will Work for you.
Cut sugar, limit dairy, add good fats (avocado, olive oil and fatty fish), cut refined carbs, lots of veggies and fruit (2 pieces max if you can tolerate them). Re-do tests in six months (They should still be normal but lower, I went from 32 to 16 on the ALT test) or ask for private ultrasound (about 200 pounds) if you cant get it on nhs. I havé to be very careful with fat because i have gallbladder issues (which i Will need to deal with soon....) . It took me six months to lose 17 kilos and fatty liver is minimal now and chloestrol has Gone from 7 to 5 (still high but better). I cant do full fat dairy, red meat and fatty meat, triggers gallbladder attacks. BUT i can do avocado fish and olive oil! Everyone is diffferent

The thing about LCHF is that you need to figure out how much fat you can tolerate. I cant go HF but medium fat is ok. Im insulin resistant with hyperinsulinism and RH to a lesser degree. Im not diabetic or pre diabetic. My stage is before pre diabetes but i need to control it now. And yes, a fatty liver is not good but its reversible. By losing 17 kilos, mine is better and nearly healed. Im in Switzerland so very good health care (like private in UK) and therefore monitored very closely. Hope this helps

Yes, I avoid milk, eggs ok, and only low fat cheese but due to gallbladder

Nosher s experience is similar to mine, he was fortunate enough to have a great endo!! Finally, add exercise to the mix, really helps with metabolic conditions

Hi there, can I ask how long it took for your alt to come down?
