What foods should be avoided?

For managing fatty liver, it's advisable to avoid certain foods that can exacerbate the condition:

1. Refined Carbohydrates: Reduce intake of refined carbs, as they can lead to increased insulin levels, which contributes to fat accumulation in the liver 1.

2. Sugary Foods and Beverages: High sugar consumption is metabolically harmful to the liver and is a common cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) 2.

3. Ultra-Processed Foods: It’s recommended to avoid ultra-processed fats and instead choose whole food, plant-based fats for better health outcomes 3.
