Fat metab affects: The liver is a vital organ ("You can't live without a liver!"); it helps burn fat efficiently. When fat deposits in the liver, fat is burned less efficiently, & it is harder to lose fat/weight. Very often people with fatty liver have slower metabolic rates & insulin resistance which also make it harder to lose. Base your diet on vegetables, healthy protein and good fats: olive oil, nuts, oily fish
