Looking after yourself

Diet
For most people there is no special diet, however, eating a good, balanced diet is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself well. As the blood fats associated with NAFLD (triglycerdies and cholesterol) are partly absorbed from your food intake, it is essential that you watch what you eat.

Regular low calorie meals containing protein (such as lean meat, fish or beans), starch (such as bread, potatoes or rice) and vitamins (in fruit and vegetables) are the best approach (for more information see our ‘Diet and liver disease’ publication).

The following will help:

• eating plenty of fruit and vegetables; aim for five portions a day


• avoiding salty foods


• eating plenty of high-fibre foods such as brown rice, wholemeal bread and pasta


• avoiding foods high in saturated fats such as full fat milk, yoghurt and cheese


• eating small amounts and choosing low-fat versions


• choosing lean cuts of meat


• eating a low cholesterol diet


• eating carbohydrate foods (such as past, potatoes, wholemeal bread and rice) rather than fat-rich foods


• trying to grill, bake or poach food rather than frying


• avoiding crash diets and rapid weight-loss programs

If you have any questions about your diet talk to your GP. You can ask to be referred to a dietitian for some personal advice.

Maybe fava beans and a drink of chianti will help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVlkZVAw8Gc
