The Liver Healing Diet: The MD's Nutritional Plan to Eliminate Toxins, Reverse Fatty Liver Disease and Promote Good Health Kindle Edition

The Liver Healing Diet is a book chock-full of information on health, diet, and surprisingly delicious recipes. A doctor and a dietician wrote this book, but I wasn’t ever confused or overwhelmed by any terminology used. The book outlines information in a clear and understandable way, with plenty of pictures and diagrams to help. This book focuses in particular on how to take care of your liver and why this is important. I learned so much from this book! Although I obviously knew the liver was important, I was pretty fuzzy on why it was, and how to keep the liver in the best shape possible. This book answered all my questions. It provided information on the best foods for your liver, as well as good exercises to keep your body healthy. The book also had an amazing chapter about how to prepare for “roadblocks” - or certain situations that may prevent us from being as healthy as possible. I loved this chapter. It provided so many ideas for attacking these roadblocks head on! I also loved the amount of recipes provided in this book. Recipes are broken into breakfast, shakes and smoothies, snacks and appetizers, sandwiches, soups and salads, pasta, rice and grains, chicken, beef, pork, and fish, and finally, desserts- my favorites! My favorite recipe of the whole book has to be baked peaches with dark chocolate. Sure, sounds simple, but it’s AMAZING!

Finally a book written by medical professionals and not people pretending to be experts by stating they are a nutritionist, yet unable to back it up with medical credentials. This book is written by a hepatologist and a registered dietitian/certified nutrition. They both worked with chronic liver patients for more than 19 years! This book will actually help you if you have liver problems.When my doctor diagnosed me with NAFLD, I still did not have a clear cut idea of what I could safely eat. My liver had already started to swell. I needed to diet and exercise. Yet, telling me to watch my sugar and fat was not very helpful. I basically was starving myself, which is unhealthy for your liver. Why? I just did not know what to eat. I wanted to be around to see my kids grow and at the rate I was going that was not going to happen. This book gives you info on what causes liver problems including mine, and how to care for your liver.My favorite page in this book is the recommended serving size page. This page is sectioned so you can see what you can eat by nutrient, size, and food example, and how many servings of that nutrient you need in a day. Chapter five (another favorite) is about what foods that are healthy, why, what types in that category, and broken down where you can easily understand. Another thing I love about this book, you do not need to know medical terms to read it. I love the tips for traveling, eating out and at people's houses. This book has recipes that are easy to follow and gives you ideas that you can tailor for your own taste. The appendix has a grocery list of items to keep on stock, sample meal plans, meal planning worksheet, water intake log, physical activity log, Step program, self-evaluation log, resources, and a great index of the book.If you have liver problems, this book is worth the buy. I would suggest the paperback copy so you can write in it.

This book is really helpful. I got it for my dad (66) who is currently working through fatty liver disease. They recommend overhauling your diet (more protein, a LOT less sugar, cutting sodium) and recommend what foods are the best for your liver. He ran through their suggestions with his doctor and his doctor okay-ed them all, which was nice to hear.One of the best things about this is that it has lots of recipes, shopping lists, meal plans and other helpful charts--water intake charts, physical exercise trackers,10,000 step trackers . Having something to fill in and keep him accountable really helped my dad.I helped him make some of the recipes and they were pretty tasty: tomato soup with black beans and chickpeas, chicken with quiona and vegetables, teff with dried fruit.I've bought a few books on liver issues before, like Fatty Liver You Can Reverse It. That one was ok but it seems a little dated, and had WAY to much personal info in the form of that random essay they threw in there (seems like they were just trying to make it longer). With this book the authors are also doctors, and there's lots of helpful info about relevant websites and apps too.Even though I don't have liver issues I appreciated the general info about specific, target ideas for eating better. I hate when people just give generic advice but this had lots of real world stuff I could use: examples of quick healthy meals, tips for navigating buffets,

These good authors included the news that "enzymes" are also produced by active muscles -- so when a blood test showed a jump in ALT/AST we were able to understand that a ferocious gym trip was responsible instead of a reawakened liver illness. Sure enough, a week later, numbers were settled. This tip alone saved a week of worry.

This book is rudimentary beyond belief. It contains less information than a basic web search would provide. It is misleading in its title and does not provide what it promises.

This book was a God send it has helped me get healthy and understand my liver problems better then ever. I began to eat healthy as the doctor advises in the book and since January 2017 I have loss 22 lbs and I am feeling great energetic and not sluggish and my doctor is very happy with the results.

This book has a helpful combination of facts and recipes, to make coping with fatty liver easier. It also did a concise job explaining what fatty liver is and outlining the important functions of the liver, to understand side effects and future ramifications. Overall, I found this book both informative and interesting.

Was told I had mild fatty liver after an ultrasound this freaked me out terribly so decided to to something about it straight away. After choosing the liver healing diet and following the advice my cholesterol levels have dropped. I found the book easy to read and understand. Highly recommend as it explains exactly why your liver is just as important as your heart and kidneys. Delivery was very quick which helped me to work on myself quickly. 6wks on and I am still following the whole life style change.

This is an American book, but still very useful for Brits. Clear advice and good recipes. One of the best of its kind.

Not inspiring enough.

Great information & recipes... written clearly & easy to understand.

Bought this for my kinfolk who had some liver issues from drinking and is on the recovery. She emailed to say she loved it.
