So according to the experts, liquid diets are not an effective or sustainable weight loss method. "You may lose some weight but it's very hard and you're not getting all the fiber and vitamins and nutrients your body needs to work. ... You're starving yourself in an unhelpful way," Crupain said.

Learn More »Every January, the internet becomes saturated with weight loss content and toxic diet culture rears its ugly head. Though the "it fad" tends to change from year to year (keto in, paleo out) there's one fad that won't seem to die: liquid diets. They come in different forms — juices, smoothies, meal replacement shakes, broths — but the idea is the same: Drink all your meals (or most of them) and lose weight, fast. The promise is that it will also magically cleanse your insides and rid your body of toxins. (Hint: Your liver already does that for you.) Liquid diets are often depicted as a quick fix, a shortcut that gives you dramatic results with little effort. Why put in work when you can drink your food and call it a day? Thanks to social media and celebrity endorsements, cleansing and detoxing has become more popular than ever. And more recently, a liquid diet was a major part of the plot in a popular television show. In Netflix's Insatiable, teenage protagonist Patty drops a significant amount of weight thanks to a liquid diet she goes on after her jaw is broken and wired shut. When the wires come off and Patty can eat solid food again, the weight stays off too (a major plot hole) and she finally gets revenge on her bullies. Besides being problematic and offensive, Insatiable glamorizes a draconian, medically necessary liquid-only diet as a viable weight loss method. The reality of the liquid diet isn't depicted, only the results. As a teenager, I also had my jaw broken and wired shut, and I can tell you this is not what happens when you drink your food through a straw for four to six weeks. Sure, people may not be rushing to get their jaw wired shut to lose weight. But they are voluntarily consuming liquefied food, and very few calories of it, for extended periods of time. Liquid diets are an extreme form of restriction, but they are seldom portrayed this way. They have become normalized and rebranded as a "five-day juice cleanse" or the "bone broth diet." So what do liquid diets actually do to your body and brain, and is there ever a healthy way to do them for weight loss? We spoke to two experts to find out: Dr. Michael Crupain, a board-certified preventive medicine physician and coauthor of What to Eat When, and Abby Langer, a registered dietitian and owner of Abby Langer Nutrition. Note: For the purposes of this article, a liquid diet is defined as replacing all or most meals with liquids for several days or longer. We aren't talking about the occasional juice or shake for breakfast. This also excludes medically necessary liquid diets, which may be prescribed before or after certain procedures, or for medical conditions.

Learn More »Aerobic exercise can actually cut the amount of fat in your liver. A heavy workout may also lower inflammation. Resistance or strength training exercises, like weight lifting, can also improve fatty liver disease.
The normal treatment for fatty liver disease, whether it's alcohol-related or not, is to reach a healthy weight through diet and exercise. So what should you eat? In general, foods that fight cell damage, make it easier for your body to use insulin, or lower inflammation can help reverse the condition. Since every person is different, you should work with your doctor to come up with an eating plan that's right for you. Foods That Help Fatty Liver Disease Give the Mediterranean diet a try. Although it wasn't created for people with fatty liver disease, this style of eating combines the kinds of foods that help reduce fat in your liver: healthy fats, antioxidants, and complex carbohydrates.
