How to reduce sugar intake for reversing fatty liver

Reducing sugar intake, especially fructose from added sources, can reverse fatty liver by cutting liver fat buildup by over 20% in as little as 9 days, as shown in clinical studies.
For your Indian diabetes-focused audience, prioritize swaps like stevia in chai over sweets, aligning with low-GI habits.

Key Steps

• Read labels to avoid high-fructose corn syrup in sodas, juices, and packaged snacks; replace with water, herbal tea, or infused water.

• Eliminate Indian sweets (jalebi, gulab jamun) and sugary drinks like sweetened lassi; limit even 100% fruit juices due to fructose.

• Cut refined carbs like white rice/maida to under 10% of calories, opting for fiber-rich whole grains.
