How to Reverse Fatty Liver Disease Naturally | Jason Fung

Fatty liver disease is a growing epidemic, and a growing cause of liver destruction. Dr. Jason Fung reviews how fatty liver disease develops and shares insights on how to reverse this disease naturally, without needing drugs or surgery. Fatty liver disease is mainly a dietary disease, and therefore, the treatment involves fixing the diet. Check out my blog at

    God bless you Dr. Fung for the important information you freely give! Over a year ago, I had a fatty liver, was pre-diabetic, & cholesterol over 500. I found out about you through another YT channel called, “Beat Diabetes” & today, I am no longer pre-diabetic, my liver is healthy, & my cholesterol is down to 220! Praise God! Changing to a low carb eating style with intermittent fasting has dramatically changed my life! Thank you!

    I couldn’t lose weight to save my life, but once I learned why I had a fatty liver, I successfully dieted from 313 pounds to 208 pounds in 10 months.
    I did this following Keto and intermittent fasting 19:5

      How much starch/carbohydrates did they feed them to get overweight?
      (1 bowl = 130 calories) 10 bowls of white rice in a day is 1300 calories. And you are still calorie deficient below the 2200-2400 daily calorie.
      That’s 3 bowls of rice in the morning, 3 bowls of rice at lunch and 4 bowls of rice for dinner.

      A bigger problem is the food industry and the lack of proper nutrition training for docs (they’re still based on old studies). Another huge problem would be patient compliance. Most people won’t do what they need to if it means giving up bad habits. They’d rather pop a pill. My mother is like that.

    • @aclassmedicine3306 says:

      Yes, free! Fasting means eating less food in total. Also, the food industry keeps trying to overfed us. “Supersize…upsize” . Family blocks of chocolate have become daily snacks instead of occasional festive treats and have grown exponentially in size ;). Soda drinks sizes, movie theatre popcorn buckets, triple meat burgers et cetera.

    During my regular check-ups and related blood tests for about 15 years doctors have been remarking, “hmmm, looks like you have a fatty liver. Are you a heavy drinker?” When the answer was no, and I asked what was causing it, they would say, ‘hmm, don’t know. Well, there’s no problem so just let me know if you do develop a problem.” Then they would go on to comment that I had high triglycerides. I would ask why that is since I had adjusted my diet to reduce fat intake. “Hmmm, don’t know.” And they were happy I was eating more rice and pasta in place of meat. And so on, through the development of pre-diabetes up to the brink of diabetes. Thank goodness for the information available on youtube. I’m addressing the problems myself with the help of guys like Dr. Fung.

    • @crpth1 says:

      I totally relate with that! I also went trough the pre-diabetes…diabetes odyssey! Without a single word of advise regarding high carbs, etc. The ONLY thing was pills and more pills! This went for a few years! Until the absolutely null results.
      In fact not just null results, I was getting worse!!
      Lead me to try and find an answer. In this case on the internet. Dr. Fung videos came to the rescue and, and, and… Intermittent fasting and Keto= NO diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.
      It’s that simple, cheap, fast and extremely effective! What’s not to like it?! LOL 😂

      Without some real expertise guidance. I continued doing the “traditional” diet. With all the carbs/starch, etc. Just like millions others, I was killing myself one bite at a time! Without knowing!

    • @retiredyeti5555 says:

      Same here, same problems, same reactions from MD’s. Realized that most doctors only know what Big Pharma tells them. (I was a nurse for 47 years) Doctors used to treat diseases/illnesses – now they only treat symptoms (“There is a pill for that!”) I brought that up with my internist, who admitted that I was correct. However, she is one of the rebel doctors who does not buy into all the Big Pharma hype – she told me that I could reverse my type 2 DM with a proper keto diet, and has recmmended various herbal products for other health concerns, some of which she uses herself. A rare doctor in this day and age!

  • @fabiors10 says:

    My sister was taken away from me by this disease. People, don´t normalize obesity, don´t encourage people to have bad eating habits, this is really serious and in the final stages it hurts so much because the person that you love does not look the same, it´s like they´re disintegrating while alive (and it really is that).

  • @fastingchic5212 says:

    People say they want more healthcare providers like Dr Fung, but two of my friends got in trouble for recommending fasting to their patients. One in particular, a nurse practitioner, was FIRED after a couple went and complained about him recommending fasting. The thing about it is that he is so caring and knowledgeable. I couldn’t believe it. I told him to open a practice or join a more supportive practice. Bottom line is that some people can’t fathom not stuffing their faces every hour of the day and prefer western medicine. What a shame!

    I have been following Dr. Fung’s suggestions for about 1 year. Most of my diabetic symptoms were gone in 10 weeks. But, I suppose that my insulin resistance is still a problem. When I relapse and eat a high carb meal, my fasting glucose level become elevated and stays elevated for about 1 week. On a more positive note, during my last annual checkup, my a1c and fasting glucose level are no longer considered diabetic or even prediabetic. So, I guest I am managing my condition well. I think I have a lot more work ahead of me.

    For people who are starting their journey, I would suggest patience.
