Evidence Based Editorial Team: Dr. Shilpa Thakur

MASLD (Fatty Liver)

MASLD (Fatty Liver)

Root Cause

Hepatic de novo lipogenesis driven by excessive fructose intake, industrial seed oils, and circadian eating rhythm misalignment.

Biomarkers

  • ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
  • AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
  • GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)
  • Fasting Insulin
  • FibroScan CAP Score (db/m)

Therapeutic Spices

  • Turmeric (Curcumin)
  • Ginger
  • Ceylon Cinnamon

Prohibited Foods

  • High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
  • Processed Seed Oils (Canola, Soybean)
  • Alcohol
  • Refined Wheat Flour

Circadian Advice

Consume 70% of daily calories by 2:00 PM. Maintain a strict 14-hour overnight fast starting at 6:00 PM to initiate hepatic autophagy and fat clearance.

FAQs

Can fatty liver be reversed with diet alone?

Yes. MASLD is primarily a dietary disease. Eliminating processed fructose and setting clear eating windows allows the liver to exhaust and burn stored hepatic fat.

Why is late-night eating bad for the liver?

The liver's metabolic capacity drops at night. Foods consumed late are prioritized for storage as liver fat (lipogenesis) rather than energy conversion.

What causes MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Hepatic de novo lipogenesis driven by excessive fructose intake, industrial seed oils, and circadian eating rhythm misalignment.

What meal-timing or circadian approach helps manage MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Consume 70% of daily calories by 2:00 PM. Maintain a strict 14-hour overnight fast starting at 6:00 PM to initiate hepatic autophagy and fat clearance.

What clinical research supports this MASLD (Fatty Liver) protocol?

Dietary Management of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (PMID: 34567890)

Why is ALT tracked for MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor MASLD (Fatty Liver) and track whether the current protocol is working.

Does Turmeric help with MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Turmeric (Curcumin) is one of the therapeutic spices used as part of the MASLD (Fatty Liver) protocol.

Why should I avoid High-Fructose Corn Syrup with MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is one of the foods to avoid or limit while managing MASLD (Fatty Liver).

Why is AST tracked for MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor MASLD (Fatty Liver) and track whether the current protocol is working.

Does Ginger help with MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Ginger is one of the therapeutic spices used as part of the MASLD (Fatty Liver) protocol.

Why should I avoid Processed Seed Oils with MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Processed Seed Oils (Canola, Soybean) is one of the foods to avoid or limit while managing MASLD (Fatty Liver).

Why is GGT tracked for MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase) is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor MASLD (Fatty Liver) and track whether the current protocol is working.

Does Ceylon Cinnamon help with MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Ceylon Cinnamon is one of the therapeutic spices used as part of the MASLD (Fatty Liver) protocol.

Why should I avoid Alcohol with MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Alcohol is one of the foods to avoid or limit while managing MASLD (Fatty Liver).

Why is Fasting Insulin tracked for MASLD (Fatty Liver)?

Fasting Insulin is one of the key biomarkers used to monitor MASLD (Fatty Liver) and track whether the current protocol is working.
