I suddenly have elevated (not very elevated, just a couple of points) liver enzymes. Seems it goes along with the metabolic syndrome that I've been trying to battle... all kinda' pre-diabetes symptoms.

I'm reading a book, "Year of No Sugar" by Eve Schaub. Some really, really sobering information on exactly how much food (ALL!) at restaurants has added sugar. It's beginning to sink into the collective consciousness about sugar in the prepared foods at the grocery store, but I'm not sure most of us have a clue about restaurant food!

So, day 3 of the FAST 30 minute walk, and of avoiding all drinks. (Except water, and I wouldn't be surprised if some bottled waters don't have added sugars!!) Working on other food changes. (Yes, elevated liver numbers along with drastically increased cholesterol numbers have scared me.)

One problem I need to solve - stress reduction for me usually includes Dr Pepper. It's also a big help with the combination migraine/sinus headaches I get. Good (fast) methods of stress reduction that don't involve sugar/caffeine?

Anyone know any secrets to QUICKLY address fatty liver disease?
Thanks!

Oh, gee, I'm sorry about this. I'm sure you're searched online for info, too, but here's a site I found. I don't know anything about this. www.liverfoundation.org/abouttheliver/info/nafld/

Walking (or running, biking, swimming, etc.) are good stress-relievers. Can you drink diet Dr. Pepper?

I haven't read that book but I'm sure it's scary to find out all the food that has added sugar. I don't buy any salad dressings anymore. We just use oil and vinegar.

I used to think those roasted chicken sold in grocery stores and Costco were great but looking at the ingredients convinced me not to eat them anymore

I wish I had answers for you. What does your doctor say you should do?

Dr just wants to do more blood tests and ultrasound. I prefer to wait a few weeks while strictly controlling my diet.

I can't drink or eat diet items -- not only do I notice a nasty aftertaste, but I have mild allergic reactions.

Trying to figure out how to do low sugar/low carb while still eating enough oats (fiber) to lower the cholesterol.

Difficulty compounded since I don't care for most seasonings... this may become a full-time task for a while. cry

I find the best fiber in broccoli and cauliflower and using wheat bran to make pancakes and smoothies. This works for me but we're all different and they might not be to your taste.

Both cooked and raw broccoli and cauliflower work well. Munching on radishes may help. Flax seed meal is good but if you use too much of it, it may have a certain effect in the bathroom.

Munch on some unsalted walnuts and almonds.
