Micronutrients & recovery
High-fibre interventions (e.g., high-fibre bread, whole grains) reduce NAFLD grade and liver enzymes (ALT, AST) independently of weight loss.
If you have fatty liver, increasing your fibre intake through whole grains or high-fibre bread can improve your liver enzymes and disease grade, even if you don't lose weight. This is a simple, sustainable dietary change that directly benefits liver health.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
whole-grain intervention (12 weeks) in patients with NAFLD (n=112 randomly assigned into two groups), was associated with a significant reduction in NAFLD grade and ALT, AST and γ-glutamyltransferase levels independent of any changes in anthropometric measurements [110].
Why this rating
Based on a specific RCT (n=112) cited in the review.

More from this paper
- Individuals with muscle-specific insulin resistance (Impaired Glucose Tolerance, IGT) achieve greater metabolic improvements on a low-fat, high-fiber diet, whereas those with liver-specific insulin resistance (Impaired Fasting Glucose, IFG) respond better to a monounsaturated fat-enriched diet.Good
- Time-restricted feeding (TRF) and alternative-day fasting (ADF) reduce body weight and improve lipid profiles in NAFLD patients, but TRF offers no additional benefit over daily caloric restriction regarding intrahepatic triglyceride reduction when caloric deficit is matched.Good
