Adherence to a Mediterranean diet, characterized by high intake of olive oil, vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, whole grains, fish, and seafood, with low intake of red and processed meat and reduced carbohydrates, offers cardiovascular benefits and is recommended for NAFLD management.
Eat a Mediterranean-style diet: lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, whole grains, fish, and olive oil. Limit red and processed meat and keep carbohydrates to about 40% of your calories.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
The best evidence of benefit comes from the Mediterranean diet containing plentiful intake of olive oil, vegetables, fruits and nuts, legumes, whole grains, fish and seafood, and a low intake of red meat and especially processed meat, along with reduced carbohydrates intake (40% of the calories vs 50%–60% in a typical low-fat diet), especially alcohol history & family history - T2DM, NAFLD, cirrhosis should be noted.
Why this rating
Cited as having 'best evidence of benefit' (ref 104).
