What to Eat (Daily Focus)

1) Vegetables and Fiber (Non-Negotiable)

• Cooked vegetables daily
• Salads (if digestion allows)
• High-fiber whole foods

Fiber supports better metabolic control.

2) Protein With Every Meal

• Dal and pulses
• Paneer/tofu
• Eggs (if you consume)
• Lean protein options

Protein reduces cravings and supports fat metabolism.

3) Controlled Carbs (Portion Matters)

Choose controlled portions of:
• Roti (limited)
• Rice (limited)
• Whole foods over refined foods

Avoid “double carb meals” (roti + rice together).

4) Healthy Fats (Small Portions Only)

• Nuts/seeds in small amounts
• Minimal oil cooking
• Avoid deep-frying entirely

5) Hydration and Simple Drinks

• Water
• Plain unsweetened beverages
• Avoid sugar completely

What to Avoid (Strict at Grade 2)

1) Sugar in Any Form

• Mithai
• Desserts
• Sweet tea/coffee
• Honey/jaggery daily use
• Packaged “healthy” sweets

Sugar drives liver fat directly.

2) Sugary Drinks and Juices (Major Trigger)

• Fruit juices
• Soft drinks
• Sweetened shakes
• Packaged health drinks

These spike triglycerides quickly.

3) Refined Flour and Bakery Items

• Biscuits
• Breads
• Cakes
• Maida-heavy snacks

These worsen insulin resistance.

4) Fried and Ultra-Processed Foods

• Chips
• Namkeen
• Fast food
• Packaged ready meals

These increase inflammation and slow liver recovery.

Sample Daily Structure (Simple)

Breakfast

• Protein + fiber
• Avoid sugar starts

Lunch

• Vegetables + protein + controlled carbs

Snack

• Non-sugary, light, protein-based if needed

Dinner

• Early and light
• Avoid heavy oily meals

Grade 2 Diet Mistakes That Delay Recovery

• “I reduced oil but not sugar”
• “I drink juice because it’s fruit”
• “I eat late-night heavy dinners”
• “I follow diet only for 10 days”

Grade 2 improves with long-term consistency.

What You Should Track (For Faster Results)

Track every 4–8 weeks (as advised by doctor):

• Triglycerides
• Blood sugar markers
• Liver enzymes

These show whether liver stress is reducing.

Supporting Liver Metabolism

Along with diet correction, daily liver support can help reduce ongoing liver stress and support fat metabolism.
