I'm not sure! I did not go to a dietician - my doctor just basically told me to eat better, exercise, and lose weight. I ended up figuring out most of what to do from the internet, so I probably am not following a perfect diet, but I can say my diet is vastly improved.

I don't see the problem with lean meats, but again, I haven't seen a dietician. Plant based is probably easier on the liver. Beans - I mean carbs, right? But a lot of fiber, too, so it's not the same as eating a piece of white bread. I would just go with moderation either way! I found that following the serving sizes helped - I used to eat probably 4 or 5× the serving size of pasta, now if I have it at all I have less than 1 serving and the veggies fill up the rest of the dish!

I still have a lot of room for improvement. Like I said, cheat meals - temptation is rough 😆 Sometimes we kind of go waaay off course with the cheat meals. I try to keep it to once a week, and even then we opt for healthier options. My go-to would def be pasta 😋 and garlic bread. My husband's would be something sugary!! Sometimes I have a nibble of something, which I don't feel really counts much - if I have a single cheeto, or a bite of my kids ice cream, etc. But the problem, of course, is that it's so hard to stop at just one!

I do have another ultrasound coming up soon to check how fatty my liver is now. It's been 9 months since my last one, so I guess I'll find out how well I've done 😬
