Hi there,
Fatty liver is normally a reversible condition . It can get back to normal, however , it takes time.
Main thing to do is avoid fatty food, fresh cream, oily, deep fried food. Have low fat milk, low fat curd etc. If over weight do try and lose weight gradually. Avoid alcohol. Regular exercise 30-45 minutes a day 5 days a week is a must.
Please visit a physician for further evaluation (cholesterol, sugar levels, liver function tests etc).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttirkishnan
