Fatty Liver Diet Plan | The Things You Should Know!

fatty liver diet reviewIf you want to get your liver back in shape, you will need to incorporate some kind of fatty liver diet plan.

In some cases, in as little as four weeks you will notice a positive difference in your overall health and energy levels once you change your eating habits.

The Ketogenic Diet Plan is not for everyone. Therefore a simpler solution would be a basic diet plan which you can implement immediately.

The diet plan below will get your liver on the right track but if you want a more substantial eating plan then I would recommend the Diet Solution.

The start of your day is very important.

Just before breakfast it’s recommended that you drink a large glass of purified water with the juice of a fresh lemon, lime or grapefruit, squeezed into it, which will cleanse the liver.

If this is not for you than an alternative would be a raw vegetable juice made with carrot, celery and parsley or any recipe from the book “Raw Juices Can Save Your Life”.

The most important meal of the day. Breakfast.

• No Grain, Low Carb , High Protein Muesli.

• 2 to 4 eggs – Poached, hard boiled or scrambled, with a little cold pressed oil such as Flaxseed.

• Fresh fruit salad with handful raw nuts and seeds – sprinkle the fruit with 1 tbsp of protein powder and 1 dollop of yogurt.

• If you’re not hungry, have a raw vegetable juice and a handful of raw nuts and seeds.

NOTE: You should have some RAW vegetables and/or fruit with every breakfast.

These are my recommendations apples, pears, kiwi fruit, oranges, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, watermelon, paw paw, pineapple (not canned), or grapefruit.

Also, all types of berries are the most slimming of all the fruits (plums, blueberries, strawberries etc).

To make the No Grain, Low Carb, High Protein Breakfast Cereal you will need equal parts of

• Whey protein powder

• Psyllium husks

• Linseeds (flaxseeds)

• Pumpkin and hemp seeds

• Sunflower seeds

• Almonds

Grind together linseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and almonds in a food processor. Best milks – organic cows or goat’s milk, coconut milk (my favourite) or rice milk. If you’re not a milk person you can use plain yogurt.

Putting it all together.

Remove the spinach stems, wash thoroughly, dry in a clean tea towel and place in the refrigerator to crisp. Toast sesame seeds in a pan over moderate heat, shaking constantly. Remove from the pan and let cool. Mix the oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, and Tabasco as dressing.

Place the torn spinach leaves, water chestnuts and mushrooms in a salad bowl and coat with the dressing.

Salad dressings should be added to the salads as sometimes salads on a regular basis can be a bit boring.
