a fatty liver is reversible. being overweight is one of the many causes for this condition. lose some weight and lose some liver fat. hypothyroidism should not interfere with your losing weight objective. in order to maintain a weight of 200 pounds you're consuming about 1844 calories per day. to reduce your weight by one (1) pound per week reduce your daily calories to about 1344. here is my abbreviated version of a plan that will enable you to eat better and lose some of the excess weight. : - begin by seeing your family doctor and obtain approval to start a reduced calorie diet. eliminating 500 calories from your daily diet can be challenging but will also prove to be rewarding and is achievable. - search the web for free 1300 daily printable diet plans. look for one that includes at least seven (7) days of planning covering three (3) meals per day and snacks. some of these diet plans may even include a printable shopping list and recipes to complete the main courses for each meal. look for diets that use a safe breakdown of calories (55% carbs -15% protein- 30% fats). - drink at least 64 oz. of water each day. - with your doctor's approval start a modest exercise program. a brisk walk will burn about 100 calories per mile while gardening will burn an additional 100 calories in 30 minutes. - take steps to learn dieting do's and do not's. do not skip meals but do learn how to substitute one food for another and how to order a meal at the restaurant while not sabotaging your diet. - keep a diary of foods and beverages consumed along with a record of your weight losses. - reward yourself for accomplishing diet goal objectives (have your nails manicured and painted get a new hair style or purchase a new handbag). - consider joining a dieting support group. you'll hear success stories make new friends and will learn additional tips to making dieting a positive self-improvement venture. best wishes for your success.
