The root cause of fatty liver is overeating. And not just any food, but fatty food and food that are high in sugar contents.
The prevalence of fatty liver is increasing rapidly with the obesity and diabetes epidemics.
Approximately one in four adults in the world may suffer from fatty liver. You can get fatty liver even if you are thin.

The liver has a very important role to play in the storage and breakdown of sugar and fat.
When you have too much fat stored in the liver - the liver becomes fat: the medical term is “ Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease “ or NAFLD for short.
The long term implication on our health is significant.
If the fatty liver is prolonged, it may result in liver inflammation as the liver struggles to handle this excess fat load - the medical term to describe this is “ Non-alcoholic SteatoHepatitis “ or NASH for short
Long-term non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ( NASH ) may eventually lead to hardening of the liver and that can lead to liver failure and worse still - liver cancer.

The good news is - fatty liver is reversible in most cases!!
But before we talk about how to treat it - let's discuss the risk factors first.

Who gets fatty liver?
Your risk of getting fatty liver increases if you are
obese
diabetic
has other chronic medical conditions like hypertension and hyperlipidemia
and have a sedentary lifestyle.
Conversely, if you have been diagnosed with fatty liver, we should screen you for related conditions like diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

So What are the symptoms of fatty liver?
It is often a quietly progressing disease.
Patients often have no symptoms and in my practice, the most common way to pick up a fatty liver is via health screening when a liver blood test is done.
However if fatty liver progresses to hepatitis and cirrhosis, patients may have symptoms such as
fatigue
jaundice
nausea and bloatedness
loss of weight and loss of appetite
abdominal distension
abdominal discomfort and pain

So what are the principles of treatment? How do we reverse the condition?
At this point in time - there are still no effective medications for treating fatty liver.
It is still very much a lifestyle change.
1) Aim to lose weight the natural way - Try to achieve a 7-10% gradual weight loss over 3-6 months
2) By having a well-balanced diet: with an aim of reducing the total calories intake per day by about 500-1000Kcal/day and avoiding processed food and food high in sugar content.
As a reference - a Big Mac is about 550kcal and 4 strips of bacon are about 500kcal.
Cut down carbohydrates like rice and white bread.
Eat plenty of vegetables, whole grains, seeds, and nuts.
3) Exercise - Exercising is crucial to reversing fatty liver: aim to exercise for an accumulated 150minutes a week
4) Treatment of other associated conditions like
diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, and obesity

So, in summary,
Fatty liver is an over-accumulation of fat in our liver due to overeating and obesity.
There are usually no symptoms and signs - so please go for regular health screening to detect the condition early.
It can be treated and reversed without any medications - do not ignore it as it may lead to liver failure.
