Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver
I’ve been vegan for almost 9 years, vegetarian for 16, for nutrition and health purposes. I studied nutrition in college and was fully obsessed with the benefits of WFPB diet. I have read all of the books - The China Study, How Not to Die, Whole, and there was a 2 year period where all I did was listen to Simon Hill’s podcast.
I wouldn’t eat processed sugar, salt, oil, ultra processed foods on any kind for basically all of 2020.
Since then I have loosened up on my strict diet but still love my vegan diet. I generally eat healthier than anyone else I know. I cook most of my meals and I rarely eat fried foods, drink pop, sugary coffee drinks or anything like that.
The part of my diet that could probably improve is I love sourdough and chocolate (not together). I usually eat high quality dark chocolate, and I make my own sourdough.
I am slightly overweight, but I do exercise almost every day and live a generally very active lifestyle. I might have 3 alcoholic on average drinks every weekend.
Anyway, now that you know everything about me, I don’t understand HOW I could possibly have fatty liver. And I also don’t know realistically what sustainable diet changes I could make that would make that big of a difference.
Does anyone have experience with this?
P.S. my doctor said just eat less carbs basically. So what, don’t eat fruit and bread? Guess I’ll just die.
