If you have fatty liver disease, your doctor may recommend avoiding certain foods — or at least eating them sparingly. These foods generally contribute to weight gain and can increase blood sugar.

Avoid 

• Alcohol: 
  A lot of people who have fatty liver disease also drink a lot of alcohol.
• Added sugar: 
• 
  Stay away from sugary foods like cookies, candy, soda, and fruit drinks. When blood sugar is high, fat builds up faster in the liver.
•  
• Fried foods:
• 
  These are high in fat and calories.
•  
• Added salt: 
• 
  Too much salt in the diet can raise the chance of NAFLD. It is suggested that you eat no more than 2,300 milligrams of salt per day. A person with high blood pressure shouldn't eat more than 1,500 mg of salt a day.
  We ate white bread, rice, and pasta. Because they don't have as much fiber as whole grains, foods made with white flour can raise your blood sugar more than whole grains.
• Red meat: 
• 
  Saturated fats are found in large amounts in beef and pork. A lot of highly processed foods are also bad for you because they have a lot of sodium and saturated fat.

Additional ways to treat fatty liver disease

In addition to modifying your diet, here are a few other lifestyle changes you can make to improve your liver health:

1. Get active: Regular exercise can help you lose weight and manage your liver disease. Try to do aerobics for at least 30 minutes most days of the week.
2. 2- Lower blood lipid levels: Watch your saturated fat and sugar intake to help manage your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. If making changes to your diet and exercise routine isn't enough to lower your cholesterol, talk to a doctor about your medication choices.
3. 3- Manage diabetes: A lot of the time, diabetes and fatty liver disease happen together. Eating well and working out regularly can help you deal with both problems. If your blood sugar is still too high, a doctor or nurse can give you medicine to lower it.
