If The Dr Says You Have Fatty Liver Disease How

Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2019

Question: If the dr says you have fatty liver disease how do you determine what stage or level it is?

I have lowered my fat intake and dropped from 207 to 195 pounds in 8 weeks. I have also lowered sugar intake. I have reduced alcohol from 10-12 wines per week to 4-6 wines per month. Is what I’m doing sufficient? Thanks
