No: Protein will not affect fatty liver nor get rid of belly fat. You may have a genetic predisposition to store fat around your waist. Fatty liver could be due to high lipid levels from genetic and dietary factors, excessive alcohol use, and other liver problems. If not doing already, making lifestyle changes including eating healthy 5 times per day, and exercising 2 1/2 hours per week can help.

Not by itself: Fatty liver occurs in about 1/4 of americans ; correlates with obesity, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, significant alcohol intake. Fatty liver can progress to cirrhosis, so patients with fatty liver (especially if abnormal liver tests) really need to: stop drinking, lose weight, control their sugar ; cholesterol. Don't waste health ; money by relying on fad gimmicks but ignore the hard work ahead.
