Obese for years following medical advice, on pills but no changes to my declining health until I found your channel and started listening to Dr. Jason Fung's advice. I lost 65lbs in 4months, reduced my A1c from 11.7 to 6.2, reduced liver damage markers in half. Thank you!!!!
I was diagnosed with non alcoholic steatosis at 35. I was very active cycling 200 miles a week and jogging 30 miles a week. I was so confuse and didn't want to be a liver transplant candidate and made changes to my diet by aggressively cutting sugar out from my diet. Within a year my enzymes went back to normal and I haven't had any issues. It's amazing what diet can do to your body.
@@TheMad0ne What about Meat or Chicken? Can I consume fish ? Any fruits or vegetables? Please elaborate more on the type of foods that are acceptable to reverse fatty liver please
I would go further and ban all sugar and sugar alcohols. Only natural sweeteners such as stevia or monk fruit. Sugar is more addictive than cocaine, imagine if all the food and desserts that had sugar were laced with Cocaine instead. Imagine the outcry! But nobody thinks twice about sugar and HFCS.
I just have to share my fatty liver story (this is before I knew about your channel)! I had gotten a CT scan (post chemo check up) and the oncologist said that I had the beginnings of fatty liver disease and "watch what you eat." Well, that didn't tell me much! I went to my friend, who's a nutritionist, and asked him what to do. He told me it was a carb problem, not a fat problem, as you might think from the name of the disorder. I worked to improve my diet by lowering total carbs, avoiding bad carbs, etc. Fast forward to my next CT scan. Fatty liver GONE! It can be done! I so appreciate all your educational information. I recommend you to friends all the time. (And I'm in love with Rose!) Thank you for this video!
That's awesome but if you do eat carbs which carbs do you eat? I can't afford to cut out all carbs for my diet I'm a very active person I need the energy and the minerals and nutrients because I'm also treating osteoporosis naturally, so I'm trying to find a balance of lowering fatty liver and treating osteoporosis
he's a nephrologist from Toronto, Canada--many of his kidney disease patients also had type 2 diabetes and couldn't lose weight--he set up a weight management program centered on intermittent fasting (and when you're diabetic you have to be carefully monitored)--many of his patients have been able to get rid of most of their meds as their weight decreased-he is getting a lot of "grief" from these diet companies (Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig etc.)--because the diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and his advice will cut into their profits (fasting doesn't cost anything, and it's far better than what they offer)

Just diagnosed with fatty liver and gallstones. Found Dr Fung a few days ago, also Dr Ken Berry. First thing MD said was to see a GI specialist to check the liver further, and have surgery to remove the gallbladder. I said no to both - despite having been a nurse for 47 years, I know that the medical profession would rather prescribe a pill or do surgery than actually treat the underlying problem. Same with my type 2 DM - I control it without meds or insulin, am on a modified keto diet, but about to go full bore. Thanks for letting us know about the substitute spaghetti types. Love your vids.

1980 is around the time food companies started using HFCS as a sugar replacement, first only in drinks like soda but it became more and more prevalent as time passed. The imbalance of fructose and sucrose causes excess strain on the liver and heightened fat storage, and since most mainstream processed foods (especially condiments) contain it, regular consumption leads to insulin resistance, then metabolic syndrome, NAFLD and diabetes.
What are your thoughts on monkfruit sweetener with stevia? I'm still not sure I'm doing this right. BUT, the last bag of sugar I bought was 3years ago. I call that improvement.🤔🙄😊
Amazing that one person at Coca-Cola who decided they should switch to HFCS to increase profits would create such profound harm to the health of an entire nation.
@@mermer58I doubt it's because of Coca-Cola. HFCS is in so many foods and drinks, it's because of lobbying by corn farmers and is also the reason why gasoline is blended with ethanol made from.... Corn.

But I’ve changed my outlook and now buy anything organic and simple ingredients and understanding the ingredients which you Bobby are an exceptional teacher!
It seems redundant and a little silly to add my two cents worth to the already 936 comments but I have to say it; I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for your channel, your knowledge, your humor, your information, Bobby! I commented this past week on a couple other videos to say that I just had a gastric sleeve surgery and am currently on a liquid diet but I've been binge watching your videos for a week and am astounded at the amount of information! I cannot wait to get cooking! I've already used the Bobby Approved app at the grocery store and am pretty tickled about that! Thank you so very, very much for all you do!
YES! please do more medical videos like this. This is perfect for my patients. Can you also do anemia, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, end stage renal disease\chronic kidney disease?
And, . . .PLEEEEASE GASTRECTOMY eating. My 88 yo mom is wasting away. Absorption problems bc cut out part of stomach in '96 bc ulcer. Now on PPI for YEARS and it blocks absorption also. Protein powders make her sick. She's 115lbs 5'5". Collarbone look like swimming pools empty. Horrifying. Doc says normal aging. HELP
End stage renal failure? Good Lord! At that point how is food going to help? My mother died of end-stage failure and by that time really nothing could be done. Just saying I love Bobby but he’s not a doctor.
@@elizabethreed5648 It’s been several months since you posted, and I hope your mom hasn’t wasted away. If she tolerates meats and fish well, her focus should be small, frequent high-protein meals. Yogurt, meats, fish, eggs. If she can tolerate some fat, include some fattier cuts and fish. Minimize or skip the carbs and sugars. They’re much harder to digest after gastrectomy and do nothing for providing nutrition. If she’s able to lift any weights, even light ones, that would greatly help her put on a bit of muscle. Muscle loss in aging is a huge factor in loss of mass, strength, bone mass, and affects overall longevity.
It is probably mostly the same as the diet he is saying here. He probably would recommend riced cauliflower or zucchini noodles. I know i ate almost exactly how he is describing here when i had gestational diabetes. Ate 6 times a day. Smaller portions. No carbs besides from vegetables mostly. I am not the biggest fan of fruit but i did eat some watermelon. Its mostly just water though. 😂 anything with high carbohydrates will turn to sugar and feed disease.
Finally, somebody knows what they’re talking about regarding this disease. There’s so much bad information out there, including from liver experts. Thank you , Bobby- I plan to get your cookbook and your recommended items.
@@flexx7611 Let's start a petition a worldwide one why are we letting these people poison us no wonder they have 0 respect for us we need to make our own drinks and water and even our own cell phones and cars homes etc like our forefathers did and take our power back.

I'm going shopping today to find things like coconut flakes, hemp hearts, hearts of palm pasta. etc THANKS BOBBY for helping me start my journey to save my liver
I went on Intermittent Fasting on Jan1, drinking Bulletproof Coffee. Twice a week, I fast 24 hours. I have not gone Keto, but I stopped eating sugar & processed foods, cleaned out the pantry. I eat all the vegetables Bobby suggests. I am feeling great; l’ve lost 26 lbs. use ONLY EEVO & avocado oil suggested by Bobby. Good luck to you. Get rid of the junk! Watch TH-cam videos.❤
I’ve got a fatty liver, the doctor said my blood was high in cholesterol to. This has been a really informative video, I will be putting your advice into practice
I have high cholesterol and fatty liver got into emergency for vertigo my doctor said its a high carbohydrates intake. After 3 months of not eating carbs and low sugar my blood cholesterol is normal and fatty liver is gone.
I had NAFL . I had my gallbladder removed and my fatty liver disease turned into chirrosis. I can’t begin to say what I endured and suffered. I was blessed enough to receive a liver transplant. Wonderful hospital and staff and doctors. I am so grateful. A lot more suffering. Please listen to this advice. I was lucky.
Thank you Bobby. Your research is top notch! 🤓. Does anyone else find that Primal Kitchen lids don’t pop when you first open their bottles. Sometimes there’s dark residue on the top of the lid. I ended up throwing it away so many times I’ve just stopped buying it. I was taught that pop means the vacuum seal was successful when it was canned.
I am so pleased to find this !! My GP is not interested in anything except PILLS ! When I try to change things around, they complain about the state of my LIVER, and/or KIDNEYS. Sometimes they don't even know which, and think it's MY fault. Then I find out 3 prescribed meds can damage liver/kidneys, and also known to make your hair fall out. Have stored this to repeat watch. Thank you !
Jason Fung is a nephrologist (kidney Dr.) out of Toronto, Canada. He runs a clinic for intensive dietary management. Starting it because he saw so many Type 2 diabetics coming in for dialysis due to kidney failure. Not just a youtuber. He's completely reversed Type 2 for many diabetics with his treatments. Cut the carbs people.
Hey Bobby.....love your channel, lots of good info. I do have to mention, though, that the glycemic index for carrots is 16 and the glycemic load for a couple of small carrots is 8, putting carrots in the low range for both. 😊
Non-alcoholic fatty liver is very common. It is generally diagnosed via ultrasound but many doctors will not tell you and if they do, they don't tell you what to do about it. Maybe, because a lot of their prescribed medications are metabolized in the liver and they don't want you to know that.
Last year, I went keto/low carb and have gotten off meds and lost weight. My latest liver ultrasound showed milder fatty liver so I'm heading in the right direction. Sadly, my doctor advised a low fat diet...I wish he'd watched you or Dr. Fung.
Bobby you are so informative. Such a useful video. Much appreciated as usual. Extremely helpful. Can you do a video for low blood pressure please. Also for me high cholesterol one please. Thank you so very much you and your team!!! Much love to you your lovely wife and superstar Rosie. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards from England.
Hello . I just wanted to say when I was watching the youtuber "German in Venice",he mentioned that Aldi's and Trader Joe's is owned by the same German Brothers ,they either inherited or bought Aldi's from their Mother. Thanks
Thanks Bobby! For the veggies you mentioned: Brussel Sprouts, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower do they need to be steamed? Easier for your gut? Thanks in advance. I am already on a diet called the GAPS diet due to leaky gut. I appreciate your channel! 👍🏻❤️
Dr. Jason Fung is amazing. Watch him all the time and I've start IF working myself up to 16-8. Can't wait to see the health results. A little weight loss wouldn't hurt either. Love your channel too.
Yes to videos like these. I always trusted what’s out there. Now I know I must educate myself and others on foods that are right and wrong to eat. Thank you for educating the masses.
I don't understand the recommendation to avoid oatmeal. I am six feet tall. weigh 150 lbs. and eat a large serving of steel cut oats every morning. I soak them overnight, do not cook them and add nothing except ground flax seeds. I suspect I have fatty liver from decades of poor eating, but my doctor says my blood sugar has been well controlled for more than 10 years.
Here is my conclusions..when you go to supermarket or grocerystores, never ever walk near any shelves that has foods that are packed in boxes, bottles. Only go to those fresh food and fruits section
I just started my journey, my brother had liver disease and my grandfather died from it so I’m trying to get ahead of it, my tests show cysts on my liver but I’m taking no chances. I know it’s common but it scared me that what if it’s a sign I better watch my liver.
I've had nonalcoholic fatty liver for years. I just received 2 boxes of pea pasta that I ordered online. It won't be worth it to return it. I'm going to throw both boxes away. I'm learning so much from Bobby! I love this channel! :)
Hi! First time watcher here. Great video, Bobby! I'm a FM RD and I'm glad to hear you support Dr. Fung and help shed light on the ever growing issue of NAFLD. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for addressing the proper ingredients to purchase and how to use them. Nobody seems to address how to drink coffee when it comes to NAFLD just that it helps. I'll definitely be saving this for future reference.
I am almost 72 and recently diagnosed with a fatty liver. My doctor immediately put me on medication. No! I am wholeheartedly endorsing the low carb diet. I appreciate your video and will definitely check out Dr fong. Thank you so much new subscriber
God bless you! Diagnosed with Nash stage 2 and been following dr.s recommendations. Just waking up to the idea that keto would be a better option to heal my liver. Thank you for these recommendations!
The culprit is High Fructose Corn Syrup. It’s hard to find food and beverage manufacturers that don’t use it these days. HFCS is metabolized in your liver and it’s getting overwhelmed when it can’t break it down. White cane sugar is metabolized in the kidneys and doesn’t cause as much damage to the kidneys as HFCS does. I was under doctor supervision and lost 65+ plus pounds by drastically reducing or eliminating HFCS.
@@sdla690 I use it in my smoothies. I use almond milk, collagen protein powder, mixed berries, and the hemp hearts. Blend it all up. My go to breakfast
I am overwhelmed and confused now. Previously you said whole grain pasta and lentil pasta was good and didn't spike blood sugar, now all of a sudden it spikes blood sugar and creates and insulin response and now we have to avoid it. Someone please clarify this contradictory info? I was also under the impression that hemp hearts had too much omega 6? Going keto can't be the only way to fix fatty liver disease. This was by far the most depressing info I've consumed in a while. No oatmeal even?
I don't believe oats are entirely taboo. I actually went on an eating program that included oats, rice, quinoa, and couscous, and lost 46lbs in about 7-8 months. I think monitoring how much of those grains you eat per day is key. So, for instance, I eat cooked or soaked oats that measure to half a cup dry and that is the only grain serving I eat for the entire day. I have 1/2 cup of cooked rice for one of my meals, and that's it for the day. Same with quinoa or couscous. Insulin spikes every time you eat, but if you're controlling how much grain you are consuming you're also making sure that the spike doesn't get out of control. I think Bobby is right in giving advice to steer clear of grains for those who have fatty liver disease, but once that liver has had a chance to heal and function the way it's supposed to, I think it's actually good to have some healthy grains on the menu.
Rennie Palmer but couscous is not a grain. Couscous is actually made using semolina (as for when making pasta) and processed into little 'grain like' shapes.
@@nadinecamara5123 yes that's right, couscous is made using semolina granules, but semolina is made from crushed durum wheat, which is a grain :) That really wasn't so much my point. Rather it was that there are some grain-like healthy foods that are higher in carbohydrates (which can over-spike insulin if overeaten), but as long as they are eaten in moderate amounts, they shouldn't be a problem.
@@renniepalmer5564 I was diagnosed with fatty liver last year can you please help me what diet or food should I avoid or consume? To start healing/reversing fatty liver?
Me too! I personally trust him given he is actually a doctor and uses evidence based medicine. Not just some random ‘nutritionist’ who did a 2 day course!
You don't have to eat pasta substitutes stuff that comes from cans or plastic bags. Just make your pasta sauce and poured over steamed cauliflower or cabbage! People have to get over the substitute from a can or from processed foods..
Since I discovered Flavcity back in Feb. I’ve dropped 15 pounds by cutting out sugar, seed oils and the other ingredients Flavcity condemns. I see so many obese people with shopping carts filled with “foods” that are only going to keep them fat and sick. It’s sad. Giving up unhealthy food is so easy and the results so wonderful.
I currently got diagnosed w fatty liver now have to under go a liver panel..we dont have a whole foods here but this gives me a good enough idea thank you
I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver. It was caused by my gall bladder surgery. I was not put on a low-fat diet and the surgeon told me I can eat whatever I want. LIE! So now, I have fatty live disease. I started restructuring my whole eating routine. Stevia only no sugar or sweeteners, apple cider vinegar, boiled chicken, etc. I am also eating lesser portions, half of what I was used to on my plate. And I am doing LIA(low impact aerobics), weights, elyptical, and long distance walking. I've already lost over 10 lbs. Thank you for your video. It helped a lot.
Great subject! I make “Tolerant” chick pea penne pasta. I find that it isn’t good the next day, now I take the leftovers and purée it to make a soup base 👍
I'm gonna make my own granola... Found chipped raw coconut, nothing added -- at BIG LOTS, will add flaked nuts, hemp hearts, chia, flaxseed meal, egg white, lakanto golden, cinnamon, blend and spread on cookie sheet - toast and add some avocado oil, salt, to taste... We'll see...
I too have been diagnosed with fatty liver. Not one of my doctors has any guidance other than lose weight,so I took to my resources on the internet. You, Dr Fung & Dr Berg have been incredibly helpful. Thank God for you.
So we must have the same doctor! 😉 Pretty shameful that so many people have this and we pay money to see doctors with no guidance other than lose weight! It's also shameful we have to go to You tube to know how to treat it! All I can say is thank God those people put out videos to inform us!

It seems redundant and a little silly to add my two cents worth to the already 936 comments but I have to say it; I am SO VERY GRATEFUL for your channel, your knowledge, your humor, your information, Bobby! I commented this past week on a couple other videos to say that I just had a gastric sleeve surgery and am currently on a liquid diet but I've been binge watching your videos for a week and am astounded at the amount of information! I cannot wait to get cooking! I've already used the Bobby Approved app at the grocery store and am pretty tickled about that! Thank you so very, very much for all you do!
😂 feel ya
YES! please do more medical videos like this. This is perfect for my patients. Can you also do anemia, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, end stage renal disease\chronic kidney disease?
And, . . .PLEEEEASE GASTRECTOMY eating. My 88 yo mom is wasting away. Absorption problems bc cut out part of stomach in '96 bc ulcer. Now on PPI for YEARS and it blocks absorption also. Protein powders make her sick. She's 115lbs 5'5". Collarbone look like swimming pools empty. Horrifying. Doc says normal aging. HELP
End stage renal failure? Good Lord! At that point how is food going to help? My mother died of end-stage failure and by that time really nothing could be done. Just saying I love Bobby but he’s not a doctor.
@@elizabethreed5648 It’s been several months since you posted, and I hope your mom hasn’t wasted away. If she tolerates meats and fish well, her focus should be small, frequent high-protein meals. Yogurt, meats, fish, eggs. If she can tolerate some fat, include some fattier cuts and fish. Minimize or skip the carbs and sugars. They’re much harder to digest after gastrectomy and do nothing for providing nutrition. If she’s able to lift any weights, even light ones, that would greatly help her put on a bit of muscle. Muscle loss in aging is a huge factor in loss of mass, strength, bone mass, and affects overall longevity.
It is probably mostly the same as the diet he is saying here. He probably would recommend riced cauliflower or zucchini noodles. I know i ate almost exactly how he is describing here when i had gestational diabetes. Ate 6 times a day. Smaller portions. No carbs besides from vegetables mostly. I am not the biggest fan of fruit but i did eat some watermelon. Its mostly just water though. 😂 anything with high carbohydrates will turn to sugar and feed disease.
Thank you Cidalia Martins
Finally, somebody knows what they’re talking about regarding this disease. There’s so much bad information out there, including from liver experts.
Thank you , Bobby- I plan to get your cookbook and your recommended items.
high fructose corn syrup needs to be banned
Most definitely.
@@flexx7611 Let's start a petition a worldwide one why are we letting these people poison us no wonder they have 0 respect for us we need to make our own drinks and water and even our own cell phones and cars homes etc like our forefathers did and take our power back.
@@spellbreaker6609 I know for a fact that fructose is responsible for a lot of death.
Instead of oils, you can cook with pasture raised butter or ghee butter.
Ghee is high on sodium.
@@ursulasmith6402 not sure what brand you're looking at. My brand has ZERO. Sorry you weren't aware you can find an unsalted version. Same goes with butter in general, there are unsalted versions as well. Hope that helps!
Yes Bobby! I would like more videos like these. I have a fatty liver and want to lose the weight. Thank you.
Jason Fung is over the top!! If you haven't listened to his videos, you are in for an education. Get your health together, he is the person to guide you. Love him!!
Yes the best!!❤️
I'm a type 2 diabetic and have NAFLD and high cholesterol..following your videos now and trying to lose weight.
Dr. Fung is great! He simplifies complex data and information for viewers.
You just blew the top of my head off, pulled out everything I thought I knew, threw it away and filled it with useful fact based information. Thank you.
I'm going shopping today to find things like coconut flakes, hemp hearts, hearts of palm pasta. etc THANKS BOBBY for helping me start my journey to save my liver
I went on Intermittent Fasting on Jan1, drinking Bulletproof Coffee. Twice a week, I fast 24 hours. I have not gone Keto, but I stopped eating sugar & processed foods, cleaned out the pantry. I eat all the vegetables Bobby suggests. I am feeling great; l’ve lost 26 lbs. use ONLY EEVO & avocado oil suggested by Bobby. Good luck to you. Get rid of the junk! Watch TH-cam videos.❤
Oatmeal is high in phosphate too.
I’ve got a fatty liver, the doctor said my blood was high in cholesterol to. This has been a really informative video, I will be putting your advice into practice
I have high cholesterol and fatty liver got into emergency for vertigo my doctor said its a high carbohydrates intake. After 3 months of not eating carbs and low sugar my blood cholesterol is normal and fatty liver is gone.
I had NAFL . I had my gallbladder removed and my fatty liver disease turned into chirrosis. I can’t begin to say what I endured and suffered. I was blessed enough to receive a liver transplant. Wonderful hospital and staff and doctors. I am so grateful. A lot more suffering. Please listen to this advice. I was lucky.
😢 sorry you went through all that
Did the gallbladder removal make your liver worse?
What where you eating before when you had it? What do you think the main culprit was? Glad your better
@@sharroon7574yes, it can worsen it according to the hepatologist who did my ultrasound scan. It's to do with bile secretion.
Yes!! Just what I need. Started to watch what I eat & now I have more information to help me decrease my fatty liver.
I was diagnosed with fatty liver as well what diet do you follow?
Jason Fung. Outstanding source of health information!
Thank you Bobby. Your research is top notch! 🤓. Does anyone else find that Primal Kitchen lids don’t pop when you first open their bottles. Sometimes there’s dark residue on the top of the lid. I ended up throwing it away so many times I’ve just stopped buying it. I was taught that pop means the vacuum seal was successful when it was canned.
That shit is too expensive to throw out! Return it for a refund! I started making my own salad dressing. So easy and deelish!
😊Īi
I am so pleased to find this !! My GP is not interested in anything except PILLS ! When I try to change things around, they complain about the state of my LIVER, and/or KIDNEYS.
Sometimes they don't even know which, and think it's MY fault. Then I find out 3 prescribed meds can damage liver/kidneys, and also known to make your hair fall out.
Have stored this to repeat watch.
Thank you !
Eat a slightly caloric deficit, significantly restrict glucose & fructose. Don’t drink alcohol.
Thanks for the info as always. Dr. Jason Fung is a nephrologist that has some excellent information on Type 2 diabetes, obesity and cancer also
Thank you for the valuable information. I have diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Your videos are helping me.
Jason Fung is a nephrologist (kidney Dr.) out of Toronto, Canada. He runs a clinic for intensive dietary management. Starting it because he saw so many Type 2 diabetics coming in for dialysis due to kidney failure. Not just a youtuber. He's completely reversed Type 2 for many diabetics with his treatments. Cut the carbs people.
Got rid of my fatty liver from being diagnosed to follow up appt nine months later...it can be done!!!
Hey Bobby.....love your channel, lots of good info. I do have to mention, though, that the glycemic index for carrots is 16 and the glycemic load for a couple of small carrots is 8, putting carrots in the low range for both. 😊
Flav City Crew, you are saving so many people’s lives, making us live healthier and longer. So great full ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊 keep up the good work
Non-alcoholic fatty liver is very common. It is generally diagnosed via ultrasound but many doctors will not tell you and if they do, they don't tell you what to do about it. Maybe, because a lot of their prescribed medications are metabolized in the liver and they don't want you to know that.
Yes that’s true
I do not eat any food with more than 8g carbs per servings.
I have a rare liver disease that's non alcoholic related. It's stage 4 but been like that for 5 years bc I m 90% vegan. TY for sharing your knowledge!
go carnivore
Last year, I went keto/low carb and have gotten off meds and lost weight. My latest liver ultrasound showed milder fatty liver so I'm heading in the right direction. Sadly, my doctor advised a low fat diet...I wish he'd watched you or Dr. Fung.
low fat and whole grain is still the official medical recommandation. I find it hard to stay satiated on this.
I LOVE Jason Fung! You are in great company with him and Dr. Berg!
Bobby you are so informative. Such a useful video. Much appreciated as usual. Extremely helpful. Can you do a video for low blood pressure please. Also for me high cholesterol one please. Thank you so very much you and your team!!! Much love to you your lovely wife and superstar Rosie. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards from England.
Hello . I just wanted to say when I was watching the youtuber "German in Venice",he mentioned that Aldi's and Trader Joe's is owned by the same German Brothers ,they either inherited or bought Aldi's from their Mother. Thanks
Being diagnosed with auto immune hepatitis. Im always looking for healthy liver foods! Love your channel and just ordered both books.
Do you follow any diets? I was diagnosed with fatty liver last year
Thanks Bobby! For the veggies you mentioned:
Brussel Sprouts, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower do they need to be steamed? Easier for your gut? Thanks in advance. I am already on a diet called the GAPS diet due to leaky gut. I appreciate your channel! 👍🏻❤️
I roast all of those veggies, tossed with a little Evo and salt! Delicious!!!
Dr. Jason Fung is amazing. Watch him all the time and I've start IF working myself up to 16-8. Can't wait to see the health results. A little weight loss wouldn't hurt either.
Love your channel too.
Bobby you have no idea the impact you have on all of us we need you and thank you so incredibly much
Yes to videos like these. I always trusted what’s out there. Now I know I must educate myself and others on foods that are right and wrong to eat. Thank you for educating the masses.
I don't understand the recommendation to avoid oatmeal. I am six feet tall. weigh 150 lbs. and eat a large serving of steel cut oats every morning. I soak them overnight, do not cook them and add nothing except ground flax seeds. I suspect I have fatty liver from decades of poor eating, but my doctor says my blood sugar has been well controlled for more than 10 years.
Here is my conclusions..when you go to supermarket or grocerystores, never ever walk near any shelves that has foods that are packed in boxes, bottles. Only go to those fresh food and fruits section
You can buy Three Wishes cereal at Whole Foods. It's grain free, high in protein (8g) and low in sugar, 3g (organic cane sugar) per 3/4 cup serving.
I just started my journey, my brother had liver disease and my grandfather died from it so I’m trying to get ahead of it, my tests show cysts on my liver but I’m taking no chances. I know it’s common but it scared me that what if it’s a sign I better watch my liver.
I've had nonalcoholic fatty liver for years. I just received 2 boxes of pea pasta that I ordered online. It won't be worth it to return it. I'm going to throw both boxes away. I'm learning so much from Bobby! I love this channel! :)
I miss Art 😢
Same :(
What happen? Did they breakup?
Same
I think the bromance is over with Art, as he’s in Chicago. Bradley is filling in, not sure how they’re related.
Yeah, I was shocked they broke up.
Hi! First time watcher here. Great video, Bobby! I'm a FM RD and I'm glad to hear you support Dr. Fung and help shed light on the ever growing issue of NAFLD. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for addressing the proper ingredients to purchase and how to use them. Nobody seems to address how to drink coffee when it comes to NAFLD just that it helps. I'll definitely be saving this for future reference.
i love you for taking us to the store i got a fatty liver and i’m thinking when i did dirty keto a few years ago that it contributed to my diagnosis
Thanks for needed info. Recently told avoid ALL oils even nuts, seeds, olives...🙂
I am almost 72 and recently diagnosed with a fatty liver. My doctor immediately put me on medication. No! I am wholeheartedly endorsing the low carb diet. I appreciate your video and will definitely check out Dr fong. Thank you so much new subscriber
God bless you! Diagnosed with Nash stage 2 and been following dr.s recommendations. Just waking up to the idea that keto would be a better option to heal my liver. Thank you for these recommendations!
Arugula. Mustard. Wild blueberries. Olive and coconut oil. Keto and whole foods. Little fruit. ZERO sugars.
The culprit is High Fructose Corn Syrup. It’s hard to find food and beverage manufacturers that don’t use it these days. HFCS is metabolized in your liver and it’s getting overwhelmed when it can’t break it down. White cane sugar is metabolized in the kidneys and doesn’t cause as much damage to the kidneys as HFCS does. I was under doctor supervision and lost 65+ plus pounds by drastically reducing or eliminating HFCS.
Keep doing what you're doing! This will save lives!
I like the info you have to share. I have non alcoholic cirrhosis and learning about how holistic herbal foods can help.
I love hemp hearts!!! I have them every day. Thanks for sharing other healthy staples with us Bobby!
How do you prepare it? Thanks
@@sdla690 I use it in my smoothies. I use almond milk, collagen protein powder, mixed berries, and the hemp hearts. Blend it all up. My go to breakfast
Sprinkle on salad
DR. Jason Fung is dang near the father of modern fasting. Read his books, they're life changing.
I am overwhelmed and confused now. Previously you said whole grain pasta and lentil pasta was good and didn't spike blood sugar, now all of a sudden it spikes blood sugar and creates and insulin response and now we have to avoid it. Someone please clarify this contradictory info? I was also under the impression that hemp hearts had too much omega 6? Going keto can't be the only way to fix fatty liver disease. This was by far the most depressing info I've consumed in a while. No oatmeal even?
I don't believe oats are entirely taboo. I actually went on an eating program that included oats, rice, quinoa, and couscous, and lost 46lbs in about 7-8 months. I think monitoring how much of those grains you eat per day is key. So, for instance, I eat cooked or soaked oats that measure to half a cup dry and that is the only grain serving I eat for the entire day. I have 1/2 cup of cooked rice for one of my meals, and that's it for the day. Same with quinoa or couscous. Insulin spikes every time you eat, but if you're controlling how much grain you are consuming you're also making sure that the spike doesn't get out of control. I think Bobby is right in giving advice to steer clear of grains for those who have fatty liver disease, but once that liver has had a chance to heal and function the way it's supposed to, I think it's actually good to have some healthy grains on the menu.
Whole grain pasta and oatmeal may be marginally ok for those with no health issues but they spike insulin far too much for those trying to heal nafld.
Rennie Palmer but couscous is not a grain. Couscous is actually made using semolina (as for when making pasta) and processed into little 'grain like' shapes.
@@nadinecamara5123 yes that's right, couscous is made using semolina granules, but semolina is made from crushed durum wheat, which is a grain :) That really wasn't so much my point. Rather it was that there are some grain-like healthy foods that are higher in carbohydrates (which can over-spike insulin if overeaten), but as long as they are eaten in moderate amounts, they shouldn't be a problem.
@@renniepalmer5564 I was diagnosed with fatty liver last year can you please help me what diet or food should I avoid or consume? To start healing/reversing fatty liver?
Dr Fung is the best...only guy I listen to
Your videos are helpful and awesome. You educate us in what healthy foods to buy. Thank you for that! 😃
Kelp noodles are a great choice too if you can find them. You just have to soak them so they're not so crunchy
I am a big follower of Jason Fung. 🙌
Me too! I personally trust him given he is actually a doctor and uses evidence based medicine. Not just some random ‘nutritionist’ who did a 2 day course!
Going to check him out . Thank u 🙂
Me too. He is very wise. Love him.
From the bottom of my heart so much thanks to sharing.I like watching your vlogs very good help.Good prevention to avoid illnesses.More blessing!
YESSSSS! The one video I asked for and have been waiting on! Thank you so much, Bobby!💙
You don't have to eat pasta substitutes stuff that comes from cans or plastic bags. Just make your pasta sauce and poured over steamed cauliflower or cabbage! People have to get over the substitute from a can or from processed foods..
Since I discovered Flavcity back in Feb. I’ve dropped 15 pounds by cutting out sugar, seed oils and the other ingredients Flavcity condemns. I see so many obese people with shopping carts filled with “foods” that are only going to keep them fat and sick. It’s sad. Giving up unhealthy food is so easy and the results so wonderful.
Thank you so much Bobby you are helping many many people much love
thank you for this. I was just diagnosed with NAFL at 36 and I feel so lost on what to do this is helpful for sure
Ken Berry MD has a good video on Fatty Liver.
No No no no no no no no no pasta, bread, flour, NO NO NO CARBS
I currently got diagnosed w fatty liver now have to under go a liver panel..we dont have a whole foods here but this gives me a good enough idea thank you
The FDA absolutely hates this guy
He be exposing stuff! God Bless Him ♥️🙏🏼
I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver. It was caused by my gall bladder surgery. I was not put on a low-fat diet and the surgeon told me I can eat whatever I want. LIE! So now, I have fatty live disease. I started restructuring my whole eating routine. Stevia only no sugar or sweeteners, apple cider vinegar, boiled chicken, etc. I am also eating lesser portions, half of what I was used to on my plate. And I am doing LIA(low impact aerobics), weights, elyptical, and long distance walking. I've already lost over 10 lbs. Thank you for your video. It helped a lot.
Great subject! I make “Tolerant” chick pea penne pasta. I find that it isn’t good the next day, now I take the leftovers and purée it to make a soup base 👍
yes plz continue with videos like this 1. I'm just learning about fatty liver and plan on making some changes to my diet. Thank you.
I'm gonna make my own granola... Found chipped raw coconut, nothing added -- at BIG LOTS, will add flaked nuts, hemp hearts, chia, flaxseed meal, egg white, lakanto golden, cinnamon, blend and spread on cookie sheet - toast and add some avocado oil, salt, to taste... We'll see...
You are truly the best Bobby! Thank you for caring and all your great advice! Many blessings to you 😇
I too have been diagnosed with fatty liver. Not one of my doctors has any guidance other than lose weight,so I took to my resources on the internet. You, Dr Fung & Dr Berg have been incredibly helpful. Thank God for you.
What have you learned? Do you follow any diets or eat specific food to help or heal fatty liver?
So we must have the same doctor! 😉
Pretty shameful that so many people have this and we pay money to see doctors with no guidance other than lose weight! It's also shameful we have to go to You tube to know how to treat it! All I can say is thank God those people put out videos to inform us!
@@jesus_rt345 dr. Fung. Fasting’
Yes..Dr.Jason Fung is a Nephrologist. He promotes intermittent fasting too. Great resource he is.
That lady at 7:30, 😂😂 rolling her eyes at Mr. FlavCity!
If you don't have a gallbladder; yes you should worry about fat intake. And always take ox bile with you food. (I get mine at whole foods 365 Daily Digestive)
My favorite recipe for the vegetables except Brussels sprouts is raw. For the sprouts? Steamed with a LOT of butter. Simple
Perhaps some of us could replace the butter with olive oil.
@@miriamhavard7621 Absolutely, add garlic & salt too. But, everything I read/see/hear butter is not “the problem”…sugar is the root of all evil (hyperbolic of course).
My issue is I am allergic to most of the items you listed; eggs, nuts, and seafood. Plus I hate coffee and the smell. What else do you recommend?
