GLP-1 and Fatty Liver: What People Eat

What does liver-friendly eating usually mean?

It is an eating style, not a cure. In general it means fewer sugary drinks and sweets, less fried and heavily processed food, and more vegetables, whole grains, beans and lean protein. Olive oil, oily fish and plenty of fiber tend to show up as well.

It is not a detox and there is nothing to reverse overnight with food alone. It is an everyday pattern, and whether it fits you is a question for your care team.

Foods people lean on

• •Vegetables and fruit, especially higher-fiber choices.
• •Oats, beans, lentils and whole grains.
• •Lean protein: fish, chicken, eggs, tofu, Greek yogurt.
• •Unsaturated fats like olive oil and a small handful of nuts.
• •Water and unsweetened drinks instead of soda and juice.

Foods people tend to limit

• •Sugary drinks, sweets and most desserts.
• •Fried food and heavily processed snacks.
• •Fatty and processed meats in large amounts.
• •Refined carbs eaten on their own without protein or fiber.

A gentle liver-friendly week

If you want the week decided for you, my GLP-1 Liver-Friendly Meal Plan is a one-page chart built lower in sugar and saturated fat, with protein and fiber at the center and the calories and protein shown on every meal. It is an organizing tool, not medical advice, and it pairs well with the guidance your own clinician gives you.
