You don’t have to lose weight to clean fat out of your liver—just eating less sugar, more protein, or taking fish oil can help, even if the scale doesn’t budge.
If you have type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver, eating more protein—especially from meat, eggs, or dairy—can shrink the fat in your liver by almost half in just six weeks, even if you don’t lose any weight. Plant proteins like beans or tofu don’t work as well.
