So since I started losing weight, my liver enzymes were slightly out of whack and a scan indicated I had fatty liver. Its quite possible I had fatty liver before weight loss but it just didn't show up in the enzymes so I never had a scan. Turns out very obese people, particularly with apple shapes, tend to have fatty liver. (*Note: This is a reason we all need to be healthy, we want healthy functioning livers - not the liver of an alcoholic!)
Reading more, I did learn that weight loss can contribute to fatty liver disease - I think because your liver has to process all those toxins stored in fat ... but that's just a guess - I couldn't find out info about the mechanism as to why. Reading more, I learned that weight loss is kind of tough on the liver and your liver has to work over time.
So that said - anyone know more info on this?
And, does anyone know things that we can do to lessen the burden on the liver during weight loss?
