Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I eat eggs if I have fatty liver?

Yes. Eggs are high in choline and quality protein, both of which support lipid export from the liver. Enjoy them poached or scrambled in moderate amounts of extra virgin olive oil.

Is fruit allowed on a fatty liver diet?

Whole fruits (like berries, apples, and citrus) are healthy because their fiber slows down fructose absorption. Avoid fruit juices or dried fruits, which pack concentrated sugars without the protective fiber.
