A member asked:
Possibly could a plant based diet no meat little plant protein only 1-2 meals day over a yr cause fatty liver ? would seeing a nutritionist help ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High carbs cause: Fatty liver is caused by a diet high in simple carbs (sugars and starches). One can follow a plant-based diet that is low in sugars and starches with good amounts of plant protein without risk of fatty liver, but if you have been eating lots of carbs with little protein that can contribute. See http://tinyurl.com/nwbqzdt for good advice on treating; no need to eat meat! A nutritionist may help.
