Patient's question:
I've recently been feeling like I have no appetite and often feel nauseous and like vomiting. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I had fatty liver because I often eat dinner out and my weight is already slightly below the normal standard. Therefore, the doctor recommended that I go on a diet and control my diet.Doctor's answer:
For patients with fatty liver, dietary control should be noted: (1) Stop consuming sweets, avoid chocolate, and ensure that daily intake of foods containing polysaccharides is not less than half a catty during rest. (2) Frequently use various fresh green leafy vegetables, vegetables of different colors, and sufficient seafood fruits (such as kelp, sea mustard, and 1–2 fruits) to ensure adequate intake of trace elements and vitamins. (3) Increase staple food intake after eating fruits, such as adding 0.5–1 liang of staple food for each large apple consumed. (4) Potatoes, taro, yam, sweet potatoes, wide noodles, and cold noodles should be consumed in moderation and occasionally exchanged with staple foods, affecting the eating process.
